What Greenhope does

Greenhope (legal entity PT Harapan Interaksi Swadaya) is an Indonesia-based sustainable materials technology company founded in 2017 that develops and manufactures proprietary biodegradable plastics and additives for global B2B customers. Its product portfolio is built on three patented technologies: Oxium, a mineral-based pro-oxidant additive that accelerates conventional plastic biodegradation from centuries to 2–5 years at only a 2–10% loading and a 2–5% price premium; Ecoplas, a cassava-starch-based bioplastic used primarily as a biodegradable landfill cover that decomposes in roughly three months and costs about 75% less than conventional soil cover; and Naturloop, a plant-starch-based resin that composts in 12 weeks under industrial conditions or 24 weeks at home, certified to ISO 14855, EN 13432, ASTM D6866, and Din Gepruft standards. All three technologies are patented in the United States, Singapore, and Indonesia, and the company's Cikupa, Tangerang manufacturing facility operates under ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications.

The company serves four primary customer segments: global consumer brands and retailers replacing conventional packaging (logos include Adidas, Shopee, Watsons, Mr. DIY, Decathlon, Ciputra World Surabaya, Sarirasa, Dcost, Indopoly, PT Suparma TBK, Euodoo); more than 150 plastic converter and manufacturer partners across 12+ countries who process Ecoplas, Naturloop, and Oxium into finished goods; Indonesian municipal landfill operators (TPAs) piloting Ecoplas cover film with Ministry of Environment support; and government/research institutions collaborating on biodegradation validation. Revenue is generated through one-time B2B sales of bioplastic resin, finished packaging products, and Oxium additive masterbatch at quote-based pricing, with the company's value proposition centered on its "Return to Earth" approach for plastic items too small, contaminated, or uneconomic to recycle. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, with US$500,000 of disclosed seed funding from the Indonesia Impact Fund in June 2022 and no public listing.

Revenue model

1. Bioplastics Resin and Material Sales: Greenhope generates revenue primarily through the sale of its proprietary bioplastic materials, including Ecoplas (cassava-based bioplastic) and Naturloop (home-compostable bioplastic resin), as finished products or raw materials to converters and brands. Revenue is derived from the production and sale of biodegradable packaging films, bags, and other packaging applications across more than 40 different product applications.
2. Biodegradable Additive (Oxium) Licensing and Sales: Oxium is sold as a biodegradable additive/masterbatch to plastic converters and manufacturers. It is blended with conventional plastics at dosages of 2-10% to enable accelerated biodegradation. Oxium pricing is only 2-5% higher than conventional plastics, making it highly economical for mass-market disposable plastic products. The additive can be used across multiple plastic manufacturing processes including extrusion blown film, injection molding, thermoforming, and paper coating.

Core offering

Greenhope manufactures and sells biodegradable bioplastic products made from locally sourced cassava starch and mineral-based pro-oxidant additives. Its portfolio includes Ecoplas (a biodegradable landfill cover and packaging bioplastic), Naturloop (a home and industrial compostable bioplastic resin), and Oxium (a biodegradable additive that accelerates conventional plastic biodegradation from centuries to 2-5 years). The company supplies these materials to global brands, plastic converters, and municipal governments across more than 12 countries through a B2B enterprise sales model.

Product overview

Greenhope is a sustainable materials technology company offering three core proprietary bioplastic products — Ecoplas (cassava-starch-based biodegradable bioplastic used as landfill cover), Naturloop (home/industrial compostable bioplastic resin made from plant-based starch), and Oxium (100% Indonesian biodegradable additive that accelerates conventional plastic oxidation and biodegradation). Together these products address plastic waste for items too small, contaminated, or economically unviable for recycling. Greenhope also exports over 56 bioplastic products across more than 40 applications to over 12 countries, working with over 150 converters and brand partners worldwide.

Products and services

• Oxium Oxium is a 100% Indonesian biodegradable pro-oxidant additive (masterbatch) that accelerates conventional plastic oxidation and biodegradation from centuries to 2-5 years, producing H2O, CO2, and biomass with no microplastic residue. Mixed into conventional plastic at 2-10% dosage, it requires no special machinery and is priced only 2-5% above conventional plastics. Patented in the USA, Singapore, and Indonesia, and certified food-grade, non-toxic, and made from natural minerals (non-heavy metal). Available in multiple product codes for thermoforming, extrusion blown film, paper coating, casting BOPP, and injection molding processes. Sold to plastic converters and manufacturers.
• Ecoplas Ecoplas is a biodegradable bioplastic made from cassava starch sourced from local Indonesian farmers under Fair for Life certification. It decomposes naturally in landfill environments in approximately three months without leaving harmful microplastic residues and is used across more than 40 applications including shopping bags, food packaging, planting polybags, trays, and cutlery. As a landfill cover film (1 meter wide, up to 250 meters long, ~80 microns thick), it costs approximately 75% less than conventional soil cover and requires no heavy equipment for installation. Patented in the USA, Singapore, and Indonesia.
• Naturloop Naturloop is a home and industrial compostable bioplastic resin made from plant-based materials (cassava starch) sourced from local Southeast Asian farmers under Fair for Life certification. It fully decomposes in 12 weeks under industrial composting conditions (~60°C per ISO 14855/EN 13432) and 24 weeks under home composting conditions (25-30°C), with additional biodegradation in open environments: 4 weeks in rivers, 4 weeks in lakes, 6 weeks in marine environments. Produces 30% less greenhouse gases and uses 45% less energy than conventional plastics. Applications include polymailers, polybags, shopping bags, and trash bags. Certified by ISO 14855, EN 13432:2000, ASTM D6866, and ASTM D6400.
