Experience

1. Advisory Board Member

   Terramer,inc

   Jan 2023 — Present · Los Angeles, CA, US

   Terramer was founded to solve the crisis of plastic pollution through development of novel hemp-based materials that will fundamentally change the way the world interacts with plastics.Through innovative sustainable engineering, Terramer created proprietary biodegradable hemp-based biopolymers, which is known as the series. The work centers around the replacement of non-compostable standard hydrocarbon derived resins, such as LDPE and PP. series of formulations that can be utilized for a variety of applications, including blown film extrusion, profile extrusion, sheet extrusion, thermoforming, injection molding, and blow molding.Terramer developed proprietary technologies utilizing a technique called Terramer Designer Space adding mathematical formulations to construct a range or bioplastic products from cups, bottles, straws, cutlery, and many others. These technologies enable Terramer to turbo-charge from lab scale to manufacturing production and cost efficiency, and thereby bring these novel products to market as quickly as possible.At the present time, Terramer continues to collaborate and work with converters, brand owners, and retailers to push the boundaries of bioplastics through the introduction of series in the food service ware, tableware, packaging, and multiple other solutions.
