We have developed a plant-based replacement for petroleum-based plastics. Through our research and development, we patented a process that allows our resin to replace ANYTHING made of plastic. We used plant matter in blown film processing, extrusion with a thin wall, and injection mold. With manufacturers across the country, we have now produced samples of finished goods including straws, bags, spoons, forks, and knives, film, and a variety of containers.
Utopia is a team of dynamic professionals from diverse backgrounds working together to do good in the world. When the issue of sustainability arose, and companies began removing single-use plastics, we asked ourselves many questions including:
- How do we solve this problem without creating another problem?
- How do we make a global impact?
- How do we keep employees of manufacturers in jobs?
- How do we avoid having manufacturers spend large amounts of money modifying their equipment?
- How do we slow global warming?
- How do we save marine life?
- How do we save the trees?
- How do we make consumers conscious, but not totally change consumer habits?
- How do we use our most valuable resource – land?
- How can we help the economy in local communities?
- How do we build our vision of a Utopia Model?
That is a lot to tackle, but we did it through intentional execution. Our model includes farming, processing, manufacturing, and distribution! We work together to keep our economy moving from seed to sell.
