About Project

Founded in 2020, Balena deals with the development high-performance, compostable, recyclable, and bio-based thermoplastic materials.

Their mission is to create a circular model for durable consumer goods, addressing the industry's end-of-life product challenges while reducing dependency on fossil fuels. Products made of proprietary technology (BioCirTM materials) reach their end-of-life responsibly through a biological recycling mechanism in industrial compost facilities.

This process ensures full decomposition and biodegradation of the materials back into the ground, leaving no negative impact on compost quality. By completing a fully circular process, Balena aims to harmonize people, society, and the environment, paving the way for a sustainable future.
