RWDC Industries develops alternatives to petroleum-derived materials with a focus on human health. The company uses a proprietary microbial fermentation method to manufacture polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a biopolymer derived from plant oils. Its Solon material is intended to match the performance of conventional plastics during use while breaking down completely at end-of-life, without leaving microplastics behind. Based in Athens, Georgia, RWDC operates as a mid-sized manufacturing company supplying producers of consumer products and packaging seeking sustainable material solutions. A recent development involves a collaboration with Trinseo to extend PHA dispersion technology to paper and board barrier coatings, supporting expanded applications.
