Solinatra and Nature's Principles Announce Strategic Partnership to Accelerate the Bio-Based Materials Transition
Netherlands, 14 November 2025 – Solinatra, a leading innovator in compostable, plant-based bio-resins, and Nature’s Principles, a technology leader in sustainable molecules, have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at advancing the bio-materials sector. The partnership seeks to accelerate the transition from fossil-based materials to bio-based, biodegradable alternatives through joint innovation, market expansion, and industrial scaling.
This partnership combines Solinatra’s expertise in plant-based, compostable materials with Nature’s Principles’ advanced platform for producing lactic acid, a key building block for Polylactic Acid (PLA) bioplastics. Together, they aim to drive a future where circular materials replace polluting plastics, benefiting both people and the planet.
“We are thrilled to partner with Solinatra. This collaboration is a significant step forward in our mission to industrialise sustainable chemistry and scale up the production of non-food lactic acid, which is essential for de-fossilising the global economy. By aligning our technologies, we amplify our impact and solidify our position as leaders driving the material transition,” said Jan Pieter van Tilburg, CCO of Nature’s Principles.
Robert I. de Jong, CEO of Solinatra, is pleased with the collaboration. Partnerships like this align perfectly with our vision to make Solinatra not only the better and more responsible alternative but also the most competitive option. Our shared goal of sustainable, circular materials forms the basis of this partnership. Together, we can transition to a cleaner, greener future, free from plastic pollution. Our joint research efforts and complementary expertise will enable industries to adopt solutions that are both effective and scalable.
A New Model for Sustainable Innovation
This strategic agreement sets a model for how bioplastics and biomaterials companies can collaborate to enhance their environmental impact. The partnership will support:
· Enhance material innovation and broaden the range of bio-based and biodegradable materials
· Optimise the supply chain to improve material efficiency and scalability
· Accelerate the development of truly circular materials, bringing sustainable alternatives to the market faster
· Explore joint co-development and advocacy for policy frameworks to enable a bio-based, biodegradable economy
Both companies share a vision where compostable, high-performance materials replace fossil-derived plastics and other unsustainable materials, such as paper, wood, and aluminium — not only in packaging, but across various sectors, including food service, personal care, agriculture, and beyond.
