What REearthable, LLC does

REearthable, LLC is a Seattle-based sustainable materials company founded in 2018 that has developed ecoPLAS®, a CO2-captured limestone-based biodegradable plastic alternative engineered as a drop-in replacement for polypropylene. The company targets the small-format plastics segment — items that are structurally unrecyclable at scale — and sells its material B2B to manufacturers, with primary traction in beauty, personal care, and consumer goods packaging applications where brand owners face consumer pressure and tightening regulation on plastic use.

The core technology leverages calcium carbonate (limestone) derived from quarry mining waste byproducts. Through CO2 mineralization, carbon dioxide becomes chemically bound into the material structure during manufacturing and is permanently sequestered; the company states it cannot be re-released without extreme industrial processing. ecoPLAS® is engineered to match polypropylene's performance envelope — tensile modulus 1.6 GPa, tensile strength at yield 23 MPa, specific gravity 1.46 g/cc, melt flow index 165°C/2.75 g/10 min, melting temperature 153.3°C — and is documented via a published ASTM technical data sheet. The material runs on existing injection molding equipment with no process changes, enabling adoption within current supply chain infrastructure and reducing material and energy use versus conventional plastic.

The company operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, engaging enterprise customers directly through its website. Revenue is generated from ecoPLAS® resin sales to manufacturers (one-time/contract material supply), with pricing not publicly disclosed. REearthable is a member of the UW CoMotion Labs Climate Tech Incubator at the Seattle Climate Innovation Hub, was recognized as a Regional Finalist at Startup World Cup 2025, and featured in 2026 industry coverage of beauty plastic-replacement solution providers. Headcount is 11–50 employees, the entity is organized as a privately held LLC, and no institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity are disclosed.

Core offering

REearthable manufactures and sells ecoPLAS®, a CO2-captured, limestone-based biodegradable plastic material designed as a drop-in replacement for polypropylene. The resin is engineered to run on existing injection molding equipment with no tooling changes, targeting small-format plastics (e.g., beauty and consumer goods components) that are structurally unrecyclable at scale, and is marketed as using less material and energy while sequestering CO2.

Product overview

REearthable offers a single unified product: ecoPLAS®, a CO2 captured limestone-based biodegradable plastic alternative. It functions as a drop-in replacement for polypropylene, engineered specifically for small-format plastics applications. The product leverages existing manufacturing infrastructure and supply chains, requiring no process changes for adoption.

Direct peers

• Sulapac: Finnish supplier of microplastic-free, bio-based and biodegradable materials specifically formulated for beauty and luxury packaging — direct competitor for the same enterprise cosmetics accounts.
• TotalEnergies Corbion: Joint venture producing Luminy PLA resins for packaging and durable goods — comparable biopolymer resin manufacturer serving packaging converters and brand owners in beauty and FMCG.
• Novamont: Mater-Bi producer of biodegradable and compostable bioplastics for flexible and rigid packaging, retail bags, and food service — competing directly for the same sustainable-packaging wallet.
• NatureWorks: World's largest PLA (Ingeo) biopolymer producer, supplying bio-based, compostable resins as drop-in alternatives to conventional plastics for packaging and consumer goods — directly comparable to REearthable's ecoPLAS in target market and application.
• Danimer Scientific: Developer of Nodax PHA bioplastic resins targeting biodegradable packaging, beauty, and consumer goods applications — directly comparable substitute for conventional plastics with similar B2B resin-sales model.

Emerging players

• Mango Materials: Early-stage producer of PHA biopolymers from waste biogas, targeting packaging and beauty applications — comparable emerging biodegradable resin competitor at earlier commercial scale.
• Bio-On: Italian developer of PHAs and special bio-based polymers for cosmetics, food packaging, and bioplastics applications — adjacent emerging competitor in biodegradable resins for beauty packaging.

Broad incumbents

• CJ CheilJedang (CJ BIO): Diversified Korean conglomerate with a PHA (Amorphus) bioplastics business serving packaging and consumer goods — comparable incumbent with larger fermentation-scale footprint.
• Braskem: Petrochemical incumbent producing I'm green bio-based polyethylene from sugarcane; a broader petrochemicals portfolio but directly comparable in offering bio-based PP/PE substitutes to packaging customers.
