The $600-billion global plastics market is under increasing regulatory pressure to adopt more sustainable solutions, but currently, most options presented not only cost adopters more money but require special manufacturing processes.
Enter Verde Bioresins Inc. (Verde), a forward-thinking company that has developed PolyEarthylene™, a proprietary bioresin that is derived from renewable and sustainable sources. Verde touts itself as the only company to develop bioresin that can use the same manufacturing facilities and is at the same price point as typical plastics. It is biodegradable, industrial compostable, and post-consumer-recycled certified, making it an eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastics. It seamlessly fits into existing production processes and utilizes current infrastructure.
Additionally, Verde has now secured the funding needed to start scaling up production of PolyEarthylene™.
This week, TLGY, a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, announced the filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in connection with the proposed business combination with Verde.
Upon closing of the proposed business combination, the combined company is expected to list its common stock and warrants on Nasdaq under the new ticker symbols “VRDE” and “VRDEW,” respectively.
Brian Gordon, Chairman of Verde Bioresins, said, “We believe this business combination will further increase our contribution to the global transition to a more sustainable, circular economy, while creating shareholder value.”
