Plastic Material gone Bad!

An alternative to Plastic?? Sure this sound outrageous, but it’s Real!

This week on StartupOne, Solutum would be our case study. The startup who has created an alternative to Plastic.

The startup raised $1.5million and invented a new material that feels and look like plastic.

But it isn’t

This new compound is 100% biodegradable and can dissolve into water quickly.

What the name of this Startup?

Solutum

Solutum is an innovative cleantech startup that tackles one of the world challenging problems, pollution.

Plastic pollution is estimated to cost the world around $139 billion each year and things are not getting any better, which means this figure would increase as time goes on.

The question is, can Solutum tackle this problem??🤔

For me, it depends on how fast companies react to this breakthrough.

The amazing thing about this materials is, the machines used in processing regular plastics are also used.

How long did it take for people to get accustomed with online shopping?

Pretty long, right? It’s would take time!

Plastics are used everywhere.

We’re not just talking about the plastic bags you use when you go shopping but also shoes, fashion, industrial equipment etc ....

In the past years the use of plastics has increased exponentially causing pollution thanks to the regulators.

In the case of Solutum, whatever is the timeline we’re looking at, I’d suggest you keep an eye on this startup because it would disrupt a $100B industry
