Polymateria launched its latest innovation in sustainable packaging, the VeriGreen Plus cup at the Packaging Innovations exhibition in February 2026. Polymateria claims it is a breakthrough in the development of single use plastic products.
VeriGreen Plus is produced through materials which are derived from recycled cooking oil. This minimizes dependence on virgin oil based fossil materials. The cup looks and functions like a normal plastic cup. It is durable and stable. It is suitable for large scale commercial uses. What makes it different from others is its ability to self destruct, the material with which it is made has a dormant plan built into it. This means that the cup stays perfectly functional up to 3 years and can be recycled in this timeline.
Once the cup is outside, it starts a transformation process. Sun, oxygen, heat and moisture trigger this transformation. The plastic does not disintegrate into microplastic pieces, it changes to a wax material which can be digested by microbes naturally. The company claims that during this transformation process, no harmful residue is left behind.
This product launch comes at a time when there are strict regulations and governments are enforcing laws about the amount of discarded plastic produced. Brands are facing mounting pressure to become more sustainable. Indeed, some of the alternatives have been criticized for the lack of durability and scalability, however VeriGreen Plus by Polymateria appears to be a solution that works. This announcement suggests a stronger pace for the development of next generation of bioplastics, which balance the ease of use, recyclability and environmental degradation.
