About us

Reimagine, renew and regenerate are the certainty of a present time for all the futures that we can transform

We were born not due to a necessity. We were born because we believe we can revolutionize the way plastics industry thinks and the planet. We educate the consumer and the market, so that society can also reimagine, renew and regenerate the present for a better future.

Manifest

The present transforms the future, and this is something we already know.
But have you ever stopped to think how much the future also transforms the present?

At ERT, we think about this every day.
We reimagine the future to act today. Right now.

We believe the future is fertile.
Renewable. Never disposable.

We are here to launch a new era that not only sustains a future
but also reestablish all its possibilities.
Whether on land, sea, or air.
And inside us.

We are a new generation of plastic.
A generation of bioplastic.
We believe in the power of earth.
So that the Earth can thrive.

We are a natural evolution.
We are a kind of plastic that is like a plant.
From beginning to end.

We study, investigate, discover and develop a renewable,
biodegradable and compostable solution
to recreate the present and future of plastic.

Reduce, reuse, and recycle: The 3 Rs of circularity
are the path from a future to the present.
Reimagine, renew and regenerate
are the certainty of a present time
for all the futures that we can, together, transform.

We create valuable
and truly sustainable
solutions.

We started with a simple goal: to inspire the market about the importance of sustainability and revolutionize the plastic industry way of thinking.
