Where Sustainability
Meets Innovation
A Sweet Solution to Plastic Pollution
What We Offer
Teysha's sustainably sourced, second-generation bio-polymers replace traditional, environmentally damaging petrochemical plastics in a wide range of applications.
Our mission
Our mission is to promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact by providing high-quality Teysha products as alternatives to traditional plastics through innovation and collaboration.
Join us in our commitment to a cleaner, greener future with our innovative Teysha solutions.
Environment Sustainability
Nature-inspired polymers derived from sugar, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
A production process that can be less energy intensive than traditional plastics.
Versatility
Engineered to have a wide range of properties, and used as “plug and play”.
Easy to Adapt
Converted into products with existing plastic processing machinery.
Circular by Design
Designed for recyclability, compostability or biodegradability.
The problem
Fight Plastic Waste Today
Plastic pollution is harming our planet, but together, we can make a difference. Join us to reduce waste, protect nature, and create a cleaner, healthier world for all.

Our materials
The KarmaCane platform
A renewable plastic substitute made from natural sugars sourced from waste, formulated into high-performance materials that are diverse in properties, and so diverse in use.
Sourced from nature
Agricultural waste sugars form the foundation of the chemistry.
Patented materials
Protected by granted material patents and licensed worldwide: a polycarbonate platform that produces tuneable bioplastics.
Plug and play
Runs on existing moulding and extrusion equipment, with no retooling.
Certified biodegradable
Ultimate Biodegradability Classification under OECD Test Guideline 310.
Our patented products are new to the market, so the full range of applications is still being discovered. We welcome enquiries about samples for testing.

Replacing BPA
The BPA replacement platform
Bisphenol A is the building block of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins found in can linings, kitchenware and coatings. Teysha's next-generation platform builds natural polycarbonates from plant-derived building blocks, containing no bisphenols.
Patent protected.
Material patent applications for BVX, our BPA replacement, are filed worldwide, building on granted material patents across the KarmaCane platform.

Validated at the extremes
Sustainable Choice
KarmaCane, our patented biopolymer, powers eyewear that has been tested in extreme conditions, including Mount Everest. Designed for superior clarity and durability, these sunglasses withstood sub-zero temperatures and intense UV exposure during the record-breaking Mission: Everest expedition.
The expedition supported Scotty's Little Soldiers, the charity for bereaved military children, carrying its flag to the 8,849m summit.
