Our Story
Solinatra began with a simple challenge: finding a truly sustainable alternative to conventional plastic for coffee capsules. When our co-founders couldn't find a material that combined natural origins, high performance, and compatibility with existing manufacturing processes, they set out to create one themselves.
Years of research into agricultural byproducts, plant-based ingredients, and advanced material engineering led to the development of Solinatra—a new generation of Natural Engineered Materials. Designed to integrate seamlessly with existing production technologies, Solinatra enables manufacturers to transition away from fossil-based plastics without compromising performance.
Since our founding in 2018, our team and technology have continued to evolve, expanding beyond coffee capsules to support a growing range of applications across packaging, food service, personal care, horticulture, and more. Today, we partner with businesses around the world to create products Made of Solinatra—100% natural and plant-based materials that reintegrate into natural systems at the end of their life.
On our journey so far, we’ve been honoured to win and be shortlisted for a number of awards celebrating innovation and sustainability.
