One Line Pitch: Nano Cornstarch Disposable Company will be the first company to produce disposable dinnerware and food storage containers that are exclusively made of cornstarch polymers that are cross-linked with TiO2.
Business Summary: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles greatly improve the mechanical, physiochemical and antimicrobial properties of products derived from organic polymers such as starch. Nano Cornstarch Disposable Company will be the first company to produce disposable dinnerware and food storage containers that are exclusively made of cornstarch polymer. The disruptive tableware will be superior to plastic-based products derived from petroleum due to their greater strength and durability, higher melting point, microbial resistance, and biodegradability (within 3 months). The company will sell their innovative products online to retailers, mobile food establishments, cafeterias, and restaurants. The single-use dinnerware and food storage containers will be sold in bulk for $265, with each customer order fulfilling a minimal of 1,500 pieces.
