Green Dot is committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, a blueprint designed to solve our planet’s toughest challenges by 2030. As a company producing sustainable materials, Green Dot is in alignment with most SDGs, though we are more directly aligned with #12 Responsible Consumption and Production, #13 Climate Action, #14 Life Below Water, and #15 Life On Land.
We know that no single bioplastic solution will eliminate the problems of waste, over-reliance on non-renewable resources, or the use of harmful chemicals in manufacturing. However, at Green Dot, we believe a combination of strategies gives product designers and entrepreneurs the flexibility to choose more sustainable plastic materials without sacrificing quality.
The skilled researchers in our Product Development Lab are at the forefront of the development of bioplastic materials for innovative, sustainable end-use. We have seen our raw materials turned into everything from surfboards to toys to wearable fashion to 3D printer filament. As with traditional plastics, the uses for Green Dot’s full line of plant-based materials are as infinite as your imagination, with the added advantages of:
Decreasing dependency on petroleum-based fossil fuels;
Promoting the use of agricultural byproducts;
Lightening our environmental impact.
Together, we are closing the gap to a more sustainable future.

Terratek® FX materials are a line of starch-based, compostable elastomers that are strong, durable and pliable with an exquisite soft touch.
Bio-Based
Blending sustainable feed stocks like wood or starch with reclaimed, recycled, or compostable plastics, the beginning of our resin’s life already has a much smaller carbon footprint than traditional plastics.
Compostable
Many of our products can be returned to nature via composting in a home or industrial environment. While plastic waste may never be fully eliminated, the ability of these materials to break down at the end of their useful lives is a huge step in the right direction.
Sustainable
Strong, durable, and high-performing, our resins offer the lasting quality manufacturers expect from plastics. Derived from natural resources and designed to help eliminate waste, these bioplastic resins are a perfect way to meet consumers’ demands for high quality and eco-friendly products.
