Truly sustainable alternative to bioplastic achieves certification. Teysha Technologies has been issued a Certificate of Biodegradability for its polymer platform londondaily.news/truly-sustaina…

Did you know? 80% of all marine debris comes from plastic. From single-use plastic bottles to plastic straws and plastic bags, our oceans are choking on plastic waste that was used only once but lingers in our oceans for centuries. #Fact #OceanPollution #Plasticpollution

Teysha Technologies has been awarded the 2026 Hill Prize in Physical Sciences. The $500,000 award will accelerate our work to replace toxic, petroleum-derived plastics with safe, degradable alternatives made from agricultural waste.

Researchers estimate that humans ingest around 53,864 plastic particles every year from seafood alone  - the equivalent of 17 credit cards. Every bite of seafood comes with an invisible side of microplastics. #plasticpollution #microplastics #factfriday

We’re getting ready to launch another exciting KarmaCane eyewear collaboration. KarmaCane is a next-generation biopolymer derived from natural sugars, designed to challenge conventional plastics with a truly sustainable alternative. More details on the collaboration soon.

2026 is the year to go plastic free. Plastic pollution is out. Innovation and sustainable materials are in. Let’s make 2026 a year of impact. #2026 #plasticfree #sustainability

Happy Christmas from the whole team at Teysha Technologies, wishing you all a restful and restorative festive period and a Happy New Year.

We recently attended the exclusive screening of short film Plastic Surgery directed by Guy Trevellyan at Riverside Studios. The film confronts the imminent threat of microplastics to our health, sparking the critical conversations urgently needed to combat the plastic crisis.

In the UK alone, Black Friday generates 700,000 tonnes of cardboard and plastic packaging waste. Shipping these goods produces 429,000 metric tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, 80% of Black Friday purchases end up discarded after minimal use. #BlackFriday

Our biopolymers begin with potato peel sourced from Ireland's food industry. By repurposing this starch-rich waste stream, we transform what would otherwise be discarded into sustainable, high-performance materials. #PlasticFree

Recently we attended the Coast Film & Music Festival Summit in Laguna Beach, California, for its third year running - a gathering of diverse voices united by a shared commitment to living well, working consciously, and caring for the planet that sustains us. #CoastSummit

We’re pleased to share that Matthew Stone, CEO of Teysha Technologies, was featured in The Times Six from the Best, coinciding with the Times’ Green Careers Week. #TheTimes #PlasticFree

New research suggests that fabric colour and dye may be accelerating this environmental crisis - with darker coloured PET textiles releasing more microfibres into the ocean when exposed to sunlight. #Plasticpollution #PlasticFree #Microplastics

Teysha Technologies’ KarmaCane, is a sugar-derived biopolymer made from renewable agricultural by-products. Our range of agricultural waste includes potato peel from Ireland and cassava peel from Southeast Asia, both of which would have been discarded as waste. #PlasticFree

New research reveals that even if all plastic pollution stopped today, it would take over 100 years to clear our oceans. Our bio-based polymers offer a sustainable alternative to petrochemical plastics. The message is clear - we must act now. #PlasticPollution

The scariest part of Halloween? Plastic waste. In the UK alone, an estimated 2,000 tonnes of plastic waste are generated during Halloween each year. While  2019 survey revealed that 83% of Halloween costume materials are plastic.

Our plant-based polymer, KarmaCane is both high performance and good for the planet. To reinforce our sustainability mission, we supplied Everest mountaineers with high-performance, biodegradable eyewear - KarmaCane can withstand temperatures as low as -40°C. #PlasticFree

This week we joined artists Leah Wood and Jemma Powell at the opening of their new exhibition. Artist and environmental activist Leah Wood raises awareness of plastic pollution, particularly the impact of single-use plastics, by incorporating materials, such as cling film.

The beauty industry produces over 120 billion plastic packaging units each year. Our sugar-derived biopolymer KarmaCane offers offers a truly earth-friendly solution for cosmetics packaging and ingredients like microbeads, helping brands to eliminate their plastic footprint.

The fashion industry is under growing scrutiny for its plastic use, with synthetic textiles estimated to contribute 16–35% of microplastics in the oceans. KarmaCane offers a sustainable and safe, fully biodegradable alternative. Here's how: #PlasticFree #KarmaCane

A major milestone: Teysha Technologies is selected as an NSF semi-finalist for up to $160M through Texas Chemical Transition Engine, to establish commercial KarmaCane production. From waste to high-performance materials: proven, scalable, ready. #NSF #KarmaCane #PlasticFree
