We are excited to announce that we have formed a strategic partnership with Eco Supreme U.S! Eco Supreme is a vertically integrated, high-tech enterprise exclusively dedicated to the production of sustainable and environmentally friendly, fully biodegradable Polylactic Acid-based (PLA-based) consumer products derived from renewable inputs such as corn, cassava and sugar cane.
The plastic garbage in ocean[1]
The peer-reviewed Science Advances journal estimates that 6.3 billion tons of plastic created to date has ended up as waste, of which 5 billion tons has been dumped on land or at sea. This is roughly equivalent to the weight of 13,500 Empire State Buildings. We desperately need to reduce our plastic waste. Eco Supreme, which focuses on the production of PLA textiles and bioplastics, is our solution. While decomposition of certain plastic products can take over 20 years in a marine environment and up to 500 years in a terrestrial environment, PLA takes two years. Even the production process of PLA utilizes 65% less energy and generates 68% fewer greenhouse gases versus traditional production of petroleum-based products. Additionally, consumers will not need to sacrifice quality and performance when choosing sustainability as Eco Supreme’s PLA-based products are not only smooth, soft, wrinkle-free and non-irritative to skin, but have also shown superior moisture wicking, buffering and stain resistant properties when compared with traditional products derived from polyester or cotton. It is clear that Eco Supreme has the potential to revolutionize the way we consume and dispose of plastics and textiles.
Bridge Point has partnered with Eco Supreme to help realize this vision. We will leverage our financial expertise, operating experience and network of strategic industry contacts to provide market and product expertise, refine Eco Supreme’s business model, expand its distribution capabilities and help navigate the capital markets to address the financial needs of the company. Additionally, we will also streamline various strategic initiatives including brand-building, new product development, creating strategic alliances and assisting with entry into new markets in order to foster long-term growth. At Bridge Point, we fully believe that “doing good” and “doing well” go hand in hand, and we are incredibly excited to take our collaboration efforts with companies like Eco Supreme to the next level.
