StarchTek uses mechanochemistry (the controlled application of mechanical energy, heat, and pressure) to transform renewable starch into high-performance protective packaging. Selected plant-based starches are processed in a specialized extrusion environment, where mechanical forces activate and convert the raw material into sheets, panels, and custom profiles.

The material is then stabilized and, when needed, laminated to paper or fiber substrates to enhance strength and durability. The result is a lightweight packaging solution with natural insulation and impact protection, suitable for applications such as furniture, electronics, appliances, and cold-chain logistics.

Unlike petroleum-based foams, StarchTek’s starch-based materials are renewable, biodegradable, and compatible with industrial composting infrastructure, offering a practical path away from plastic waste while supporting a more circular packaging economy.
