Titan Bioplastics

What Titan Bioplastics does

Titan Bioplastics is a Seattle-based sustainable material engineering company founded in 2018 that develops nano-composite bioplastics, proprietary barrier additives, and compostable biocomposite platforms for packaging, military, and consumer product applications. The company's core technology centers on incorporating graphene, graphene oxide, and proprietary nano-barrier additives (Titan Nanofill™) into biopolymers, recycled plastics, and compostable composites, achieving third-party verified (ARDL Labs) improvements in oxygen, moisture, and UV barrier properties of up to 100%+. Titan operates two compostable biocomposite platforms — TBP-CF for low-temperature and living-hinge applications such as ice cream lids and meat trays, and TBP-HF for high-heat applications up to 95°C such as coffee lids and hot soup spoons — alongside its proprietary Augie Bones plant-based consumer pet product brand.

The company generates revenue through custom composite formulation and R&D services, masterbatch and compounded additive sales, potential IP licensing of customer-specific formulations, and direct-to-consumer sales of Augie Bones. It targets packaging manufacturers as its primary segment, with secondary engagements in military/DOD ballistic material projects, Department of Energy programs, and emerging technology applications including batteries, EVs, and blockchain-based technology assets via the Battery Coin partnership. Titan operates through an enterprise field-sales motion with on-site engineering support during molding trials, supplemented by earned media coverage and recognition as a Top 4 Barrier Packaging Solution by StartUs Insights. All formulations carry NLT 95% organic and biobased content with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 food-contact compliance.

Founded by Tanya Hart (CEO) and David Abecassis (Director of Technology), Titan maintains a small core team of approximately three named individuals across offices in Seattle (business development), New York (headquarters/program management), Grand Rapids (science/R&D), and Long Island (science/R&D). The company received investment from Spartan Innovations and Red Cedar Ventures in 2022 alongside the MSU Foundation affiliation, the same year it announced technology partnerships with Battery Coin and Plastix Denmark.

Revenue model

1. Custom Composite Development & Formulation Services: Titan develops custom composite formulations tailored to customer technical requirements. This includes initial formulation, on-site engineering support during molding trials, and DOE optimization to reduce raw material and processing costs. Revenue is generated through bespoke R&D and formulation development engagements.
2. Masterbatch Production & Compounding: Titan produces masterbatches and compounds proprietary nano-composite additives (Titan Nanofill™) that are sold as additive products for integration into customer polymer systems. Revenue is generated through the sale of formulated material products.
3. IP Licensing: Titan offers the option to license intellectual property developed for customer-specific formulations, creating a potential royalty stream from customers who adopt Titan-developed novel resin systems.
4. Proprietary Consumer Product (Augie Bones): Titan commercializes its own proprietary consumer brand (Augie Bones) — plant-based, biodegradable chew toys for dogs — representing a direct-to-consumer product revenue stream.
