Hit your sustainability targets with products that actually launch.
Internal sustainability mandates, EPR fees and consumer expectations are pushing brands toward bio-based materials, but finding a material that performs, prices out at volume and has more than one supplier can take years. MAPS helps your R&D and sourcing teams find it, qualify it and launch it faster.
Where sustainable product development stalls
Targets, EPR and consumers all want change now
Internal mandates have hard deadlines, EPR fees are live and rising for packaging that’s hard to recycle or compost, and half of consumers rate environmental impact as very important.
How MAPS helps: Screen biomaterials on performance, end-of-life properties and certifications in one search, so R&D starts with options that meet every target.
Finding a material that performs
Many biomaterials struggle with heat resistance, barrier or film forming, and datasheets rarely compare cleanly.
How MAPS helps: Spec scores every available biomaterial against your specification and shows exactly where each one falls short.
Supply you can switch a SKU on
No brand should change a SKU on one supplier, a sample price or an unknown origin.
How MAPS helps: Compare dual and multi-source options with pricing considerations at volume, supply depth and supplier location for your LCA, then request samples directly.
Years of formulation trials
Off-the-shelf grades rarely hit every target, and custom blends take hundreds of trials.
How MAPS helps: The Formulation tool designs and tunes custom blends to your performance, price and volume targets, and tells you which trials to run first.
Surprises at scale-up
A formulation that works in the lab can fail on your converter’s line, after the tooling is paid for.
How MAPS helps: The digital twin simulates how your product runs at production scale before anyone commits capital.
Claims and certifications for every market
Green-claims rules are tightening, and every market has its own compostability, food-contact and EPR requirements.
How MAPS helps: Every Marketplace listing shows its certifications and documentation, so you choose materials that back your claims in each market you sell into.
Four questions to answer before you switch a SKU
1. Does it perform?
Strength, heat resistance, barrier and shelf life against your product’s specification.
2. What will it cost at volume?
Pricing considerations at your production volumes, well beyond the sample price.
3. Where is it made?
Supplier location shapes your carbon footprint, your LCA and your lead times.
4. Can you rely on the supply?
More than one qualified supplier, consistent lot to lot, with capacity for your volumes.
Why brands choose MAPS
One platform, spec to certification
Most tools cover a single step: managing specs, listing chemicals or modelling data. MAPS connects specification, sourcing, formulation, scale-up and certification.
Built for biomaterials
Generic informatics tools are designed around conventional plastics and your own historical data. MAPS is trained on biomaterials and works on your first search.
The open market, with pricing shown
Material suppliers recommend their own grades. MAPS compares grades across suppliers, with pricing considerations beside every result.
A team that has done it
Our founders have co-developed four commercial products with Fortune 500 companies, and they bring that experience to every project.
Let our team find the biomaterials that meet your sustainability targets.
Share your product, your targets and your timeline, and see which biomaterials fit before you commit R&D time.
