DropForm is the predictive engine accelerating the bioplastics transition

We help manufacturers and brands move beyond fossil plastics with scalable, compostable alternatives that meet real-world performance needs.

What is DropForm

A software platform for sustainable materials

DropForm supports the development and adoption of next-generation plastics. We work with innovators across packaging, 3D printing, and consumer goods to make the shift to compostable solutions simple and scalable.

What it enables

Make the switch without slowing down

With DropForm, customers can:

  • Replace petroleum-based plastics with compostable alternatives

  • Meet technical and sustainability goals faster

  • Reduce internal development time and cost

  • De-risk production and scale confidently

Whether you're producing flexible films, rigid parts, or custom applications, DropForm helps you get there faster and with less friction.

Technology

Purpose-built for speed, trust, and scale

DropForm gives manufacturers and product teams a faster way to move from concept to compostable reality. There’s no need to change your equipment, overhaul your supply chain, or invest in speculative R&D. We handle the complexity behind the scenes — you get clear answers and a clear path forward.

Use Cases

Designed for real-world manufacturing

DropForm is already being used in high-impact sectors:

  • Flexible and rigid packaging
