Three decades of American manufacturing — reinvested in the planet.
NextGen Bioplastics didn't start in a lab. It started on a Pennsylvania factory floor, in a family business that has been making things in America for over 35 years. Today, we're using that same discipline to build the packaging the food industry has been waiting for.
