“
Things in our life are starting to matter more and more because we have to take care of Mother Earth.”
John Oakley, Chief Science Officer at Matter Compostables
Our Vision
1.
Create ingenious and ecologically responsible products that solve everyday problems without sacrificing strength or convenience.
2.
Challenging the status quo continues to inspire us to create plant-based products that are both high quality and kind to the planet.
3.
As we challenge conventional thinking, we invite you to do the same by replacing the current single-use products you buy every day with Matter Compostables.
Preserving our environment
The problem
Since the 1950s, 79% of the 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic produced has been discarded. The average American disposes of 185 pounds of plastic annually. Plastic decomposition can take centuries and can potentially release toxic chemicals into the soil.
How to help
Reducing single-use plastics from your lifestyle will help. Choosing compostable Matter products can make a significant impact on reducing the harmful effects of plastic on the earth.
Respecting our seas
The problem
By 2050, ocean plastic may outweigh sea life. Today, there is 500x more microplastic in the ocean than stars in the galaxy. Plastic can be mistaken for food by marine life or entangle them, leading to lasting pain and suffering.
How to help
Saving the millions of fish, sea creatures and miles of coral reefs being harmed by plastic pollution may be as simple as reducing conventional disposable plastics we use. Using Matter products that completely compost in a matter of months can help.
Protecting future generations
The problem
The growing consequences of plastic pollution is compounding - the effects of the next 50 years will far outweigh the impact of the last 50. Protecting our children and future generations must be a priority.
How to help
There's still time to change course and reverse or at least slow down the devastating effects of plastic pollution. One easy way is to use Matter products to replace conventional single-use plastics in our daily lives.
Made from plants
for a healthier planetAll Matter products fully breakdown in a composting environment, either industrial or home, or often both. Composting is the safe and natural way to reduce landfill waste. As Matter products compost, they return valuable nutrients back into the soil, vs. potential toxins that traditional plastics can leave behind.
By purchasing Matter products, you support Folds of Honor, and the work they do to help fund educational scholarships for the families of fallen or injured American heroes.
