Better biotech. Smarter solutions.
Our mission.
We’re committed to serving premium brands in hospitality and food service with high-performance materials that don’t just biodegrade—they nourish the earth.
At NantBioRenewables, we aim to create a healthier, more sustainable world by reducing microplastics and their harmful impact on human health. Through innovative solutions, inclusivity, and social responsibility, we are building a manufacturing ecosystem that empowers communities and protects future generations.
Our history.
NantBioRenewables was founded on the bold idea of creating single-use packaging that doesn't contribute to
plastic waste. We aim to develop premium packaging that looks and feels just like regular plastic but
breaks
down without harming the earth, while remaining both scientifically rigorous and commercially viable.
From the start, we’ve pursued uncompromising standards in material development, compostability
certification, and customer experience—partnering with scientists, designers, and brands to bring better
products to market.
Today, we’re proud to be creating not just a product line, but a solution that delivers
effective, premium,
eco-friendly compostable packaging.
Made in the USA.
We proudly manufacture our products in the United States, offering shorter lead times, greater supply chain reliability, and hands-on quality control. Our fully equipped facility in Alabama enables faster turnaround and reduces environmental impact through shorter shipping distances. With every order, we provide a level of high-touch service that offshore providers simply can’t match.
