About Mango Materials

Mango Materials, a California-based biomanufacturing company, produces biopolymer pellets made with polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). PHA is a biological byproduct of naturally occurring ancient bacteria. It can be melt-processed by third parties using similar methods to traditional polymers and manufactured into a variety of high-volume, environmentally friendly goods such as packaging, children’s toys, fibers, films, and molded consumer products.

Mango Materials has a unique way to make PHA. Using methane (a potent greenhouse gas) produced by wastewater treatment plants, the company feeds methane to bacteria that transform it into PHA. When products made from our PHA are disposed of after their useful life, they re-enter the naturally occurring carbon cycle.
