Mango Materials is partnering with UC Davis to make its methane-to-PHA bioplastics process more affordable and scalable. The collaboration will engineer methanotroph bacteria for more efficient plastic recovery, with Mango Materials testing the strains from lab-scale systems through its 5,000-liter bioreactor.
Mango Materials’ methane-to-PHA technology aligns with the U.S. Department of Energy’s $117 million investment in advancing U.S. industrial innovation and domestic manufacturing. The DOE funding highlights the growing opportunity for innovative technologies that transform waste resources into sustainable, high-value materials.
Mango Materials has been recognized as one of the Top 10 Hottest Companies in the 2026 Advanced Bioeconomy, earning the #9 spot in Biofuels Digest’s annual ranking. The recognition highlights Mango Materials’ innovative approach to converting methane into sustainable, biodegradable PHA materials and its continued leadership in advancing the circular bioeconomy.
The article highlights how methane-eating microbes can turn a potent greenhouse gas into climate-positive products, spotlighting Mango Materials’ work converting waste methane into biodegradable bioplastics.
