FOOTPRINT

Footprint is a materials science technology company with a clear vision to create a healthier planet and healthier people. Phase one of our mission is to provide solutions that eliminate single-use and short-term use plastics in our food chain. Footprint’s team of engineers design, develop and manufacture biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable plant-based fiber materials that compete with plastic’s cost and exceed its performance, keeping harmful chemicals away from consumers in material... s digestible by the earth. Footprint is rapidly expanding into new categories with unique and patented solutions for customers. Footprint’s products have already led to a global redirection of 61 million pounds of plastic waste from entering the air, earth, and water working with leading global consumer brands like Conagra, Kraft, Beyond Meat and more. Footprint was founded by former Intel engineers, Troy Swope and Yoke Chung who discovered plastic outgassing was damaging silicon chips, and were suspicious it was happening in the food coming home from the supermarkets wrapped in plastic. They set out to invent new materials to help companies get out of plastic and seven years later have become a leader in materials science solutions due to increased demand for sustainable solutions by companies looking to meet ESG and climate goals, consumer demand, and regulations banning single-use plastics. The company has operations in the U.S., Mexicali, Europe, and Asia. Footprint was named to the 2020 Fortune “Change the World” list in 2020, is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Innovators Community and was named a CNBC Disruptor 50 company in 2021.More
