Investment Notes: Earthodic



Twynam Invests in Earthodic's Innovative Compostable Packaging Solution


Twynam is excited to be a part of Earthodic's oversubscribed $1.85M pre-seed funding round. Tenacious Ventures and Investible led the round, and USA-based Closed Loop Partners joined us.



Introducing: PaperbarcTM

Earthodic has developed an innovative bio-based coating called PaperbarcTM, which provides water resistance and strength to paper and packaging while remaining recyclable and compostable. This is a promising alternative to wax or plastic-coated packaging in agricultural and food supply chains.



Earthodic's Competitive Edge

The team at Earthodic impressed us with their technology. Competitors haven't been able to match the level of performance whilst balancing recyclability and compostability. Being able to recycle cardboard, which would otherwise go to landfill because of its wax coating, and replace plastic packaging without sacrificing performance are essential factors for a solution that the market can readily embrace.



Supporting Sustainable Packaging and Circularity

Twynam is thrilled to support Earthodic's mission to make packaging sustainable. We are keenly supporting Earthodic's growth as they participate in the USDA Biopreferred Program with their 100% USDA Biobased Product Label and move to increase their product offerings. Hopefully, Australia won't be too far behind.


The funding will expand Earthodic's tech stack, intellectual property, and sales and marketing efforts.
