THE CAMM® MATERIAL
CAMM® is a breakthrough pellet material that delivers the strength and versatility of plastic - without the environmental harm
Made from biodegradable, non-toxic ingredients, CAMM® fulfills its function and then safely decomposes naturally, much like organic matter returning to the earth, without leaving harmful traces. As coating on paper, CAMM® also is a game changer in creating microplastic free paper recycling streams.

THE SCIENCE OF DISINTEGRATION
CAMM IN THE BIOLOGICAL LOOP OF CIRCULARITY
CAMM®’s unique ability to dissolve in water or soil showcases scientific ingenuity, mimicking nature's own decomposition process in an eco-conscious way. Depending on the formulation and application CAMM® dissolves in minutes to months. It looks like magic, but it's really science!
CAMM® EXPOSED TO WATER
CAMM® dissolves in water without microplastics. Depending
on the application and product lifecycle, CAMM® products can be designed to either dissolve in hot or cold water. Dissolution times span from minutes to months, depending on the end-consumer use case.
CAMM® EXPOSED TO SOIL
CAMM® composts within weeks. without leaving persistent chemicals or toxins behind. What remains is safely consumed by natural microorganisms in soil or water. It is certified for home and industrial composting.
A CHAMPION FOR RECYCLING
- CAMM IN THE TECHNICAL CYCLE OF CIRCULARITY & MEETING PPWR STANDARDS
CAMM® is recyclable like traditional plastics. As we expand we are preparing for integration into national recycling systems together with partners in our ecosystem.
The game changer today is CAMM® in the paper recycling stream.
With the material’s strength and properties, CAMM® laminated or coated onto paper creates a new class of strong, microplastic free paper packaging. As 95/5 applications or as thicker laminate within the norms of the EU, the packaging is recycled in the paper stream. CAMM® washes away and paper fibers are fully recovered. The recovered pulp is uncontaminated of microplastics. Through CAMM® impact and and conformity with the EU’s PPWR go hand in hand.
INDUSTRIALIZED PRODUCTS
Launching products into the market that can be processed on industrial machinery is the hardest piece of work. This can take months to years. At Camm together with our partners, we've taken our breakthrough idea and madei it work at industrial scale.
We have developed a suite of products – CAMM® air pillows, CAMM® stretch film, and CAMM® rigids – pivoting to replace significant quantities of plastic. Every year, we will add onto this list.
Base materials are produced in our Spanish facility. Conversion takes place through a global network of partners in Europe and - coming soon - also in the US.
AN ECO-SYSTEM FOR SCALE
A great sustainability idea is not enough. For tangible impact, solid funding and committed support is required
to reach market viability and scale. Our shareholder community, comprising entrepreneurs, public environmentalists as well as international investors enables us to undertake scaling projects necessary for grow in the mainstream market penetration. Because that is where the actual impact occurs for people and the planet.
