PolyXLabs

PolyXLabs is a biotechnology company pioneering a new class of sustainable, naturally derived polymers to replace toxic, non-recyclable plastics in the cosmetics and food and beverage industries. Its core product, PolyX, is a cost-effective, 100% biodegradable plastic replacement created from spent coffee grounds — the waste from the second most consumed beverage on the planet. Unlike other bioplastics, PolyX maintains the functional characteristics of conventional plastics including heat resistance and barrier properties, while safely decomposing under natural conditions without requiring special industrial facilities. The company is headquartered in Budapest, Hungary, with operations in the United States and Europe.
