Reasons to Invest
- Leading innovation and strong team: We have developed what we believe to be a first-of-its-kind technology that allows the creation of techno-organic materials. Our technology is patented from several angles, with professional and accredited leadership including partners and teams all over the world trained and ready to launch a global plastic substitution campaign.
- Technology, Market size and openness: We believe more and more companies are pledging to go 100% plastic-free in the near future. Timeplast is proposing a solution that could become the substitution for conventional plastics with a series of materials that actually disappear in hours, and that can be used in a variety of forms replacing almost any other conventional plastic for rigid and flexible applications. Concomitantly, it can also potentially substitute many metal, glass, and paper applications.
- Redefining environmentalism: We think Timeplast’s environmental quality transcends current sustainable standards, given that Timeplast is planet neutral, tapping into the highest standard of water solubility. It does not require soil bacteria, oxygen, or heat to disintegrate, only liquid water, as Nature intended..
OVERVIEW
Solving the plastic problem
*The above is a picture taken of our prototype material. Product is currently under development and is not yet available on the market.Timeplast proposes what we think is a new chemical technology, capable of building bio-based materials ready to replace plastics, comprised mostly of materials made from alcohol sourced from chemically organic waste, which only requires water to disintegrate. We feel the price point is competitive, and mass-production volumes are scalable. Materials have the potential to replace not only conventional plastics, but also metals, glass, and paper applications. Our materials can be thermoformed, blown, extruded, and injected.

THE PROBLEM
Microplastics are accumulating in our oceans
The plastic industry is currently valued at $593B, which is higher than the Social Media Ad Spend and Smartphones markets combined (source, source).
*The above is a picture taken of our prototype material. Product is currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
Plastic is everywhere in daily life from packing styrofoam to injection molding. These plastics and microplastics are accumulating in the environment, regardless if they’re labeled as 100% recycled, biodegradable or biobased, especially our oceans. Most current plastics on the market can’t dissolve in the ocean (source). Not to mention, the Food Safety Standards that overlook microplastics, which have been linked to health issues for marine life and humans (source). We think protecting oceans, rivers and overall Earth’s water has to be our number one priority as a civilization.

THE SOLUTION
Restoring the balance with a bio-based material that mimics plastic
Timeplast is a material with 15 years of R&D that has the potential to replace fossil-based plastics. The material can be incredibly versatile and comes in 3 raw forms ready for industry’s adaptation: crystals, small, and large pellets.
*The above is a picture taken of our prototype material. Product is currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
These can be used for various applications including packaging and construction. Mimicking the weight and feel of plastic, Timeplast can be used as a conventional plastic for rigid applications or for light-weight applications.
Timeplast is working toward plastics use that is in balance with our planet. Timeplast taps into water, the universal solvent, to fully disintegrate in water in 60 hours. Its water solubility has been ASTM-independently certified.
Team Strength
Manuel Rendon, CEO of Timeplast, won the Best Practices Award when working for PepsiCo and was awarded a National Interest Green Card by the USCIS. Also, Timeplast has a team of professionals and partners all over the world ready to deploy a plastic-substitution campaign.
*The above is a picture taken of our prototype material. Product is currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
Behind the scenes
The Timeplast product is made primarily by third-party manufacturers that specialize in chemical and bio-based materials. However, Timeplast has the goal of self-producing the final product. In our current business model, the raw materials are shipped to a compounder with our proprietary and polymerization-inducing wax to create the final masterbatch product. For the final polymerization where the material is actually created, we double-use our customers’ manufacturing systems as polymerization reactors to perform this energy-intense task, which can reduce costs and CFP, making Timeplast cheaper than the bio-based plastics, metals, glasses, and papers on the market, and with a lower holistic footprint.
*The above is a picture taken of our prototype material. Product is currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
THE MARKET
Disrupting a market projected to hit $440B
The alternative packaging market is expected to reach $441B by 2028, but we believe Timeplast is one of the only materials that is water soluble and designed for rigid applications. Timeplast has a high polymerization level, creating the strength needed for applications where a thicker plastic material would be used. We believe we have the ability to make a plastic-like product that has the ability to fully break down and dissolve. In the future, we anticipate that Timeplast could also be a substitute for cardboard, glass, or metal applications.
*The above is a picture taken of our prototype material. Product is currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
Alternative materials being used to replace plastic packaging include food sources like corn, alternative forest-produced products like bamboo, and conventional ultra-high CFP materials like stainless steel. However, these materials don’t have the flexibility nor the versatility of plastic for all necessary applications, and more importantly, they don’t fully disintegrate in water after use (source). There are a few plastic alternatives on the market today with water solubility, however, we feel they are limited to thin plastic or film applications. We believe what makes Timeplast unique is the ability to work on rigid and thick applications, which count for most of the uses in the market, all of this while retaining water solubility, and is cheaper to produce than all bio-based plastics on the market today.
OUR TRACTION
Patented technology that’s built for the planet
Our technology comprises 4 key blocks of neo-chemistry pathways, we have 1 patent granted for each of the key blocks, which are also covered by the Patent Cooperation Treaty in over 150 countries. Each key block has been proven successful after multiple rounds of testing, and studies have been 100% made by independent laboratories such as Eurofins Labs, Peak Experts Labs, and Avomeen Analytical services, now called Element, with samples manufactured by R&D partners such as Nestle Global, Riverdale Global and Nestle Waters of North America.
Riverdale Global successfully made a solid injected piece that mimics plastic with the Timeplast material, which is what we believe to be the first-ever water-soluble rigid piece made by injection molding in conventional plastic manufacturing equipment. Here’s a picture:
*The above is a picture taken of our prototype material. Product is currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
WHY INVEST
Let’s restore the chemical balance of our planet
Our planet’s surface is primarily water, so we feel it’s time to design materials with water solubility in mind. We believe Timeplast is ready to disrupt the plastic industry with what we believe is a new material that is planet-friendly at all stages of the product life cycle, from product manufacturing to the consumer’s end-use. Help us restore the balance in our planet by investing in Timeplast, a material that can replace single-use plastics and much more.

Are cardboard cups better than Timeplast?
A new study led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has found that disposable coffee cups coated with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) can release trillions of plastic nanoparticles when exposed to boiling water.
“The main takeaway here is that there are plastic particles wherever we look. There are a lot of them. Trillions per liter. We don’t know if those have bad health effects on people or animals. We just have a high confidence that they’re there,” said study lead author Christopher Zangmeister, a chemist at NIST.
At Timeplast we believe that the effects of microplastics’ biomagnification are starting to cause the plastification of the entire food chain given that unlike toxic elements of the past such as asbestos and lead, microplastics are non-soluble, in other words, they’ll continue to accumulate in our bodies for generations. This is why we believe that water solubility is the only way to go, by adapting our waste to the Grand Chemistry of our planets, we are engaging in a planetary-safe actual circular economy.

Does Timeplast have patents?
Yes, we have several patents granted by the USPTO, and around the world. Even when our patents are very important, we don’t believe they still represent the entirety of our technology, not even close. Having said that we have 100% success rate of approval by the USPTO In terms of application:grant.
As you’ll see below, our patents are so innovative that we had to use several conventional materials for ease of explanation, but this isn’t far from typical. For example Edison had to work by candlelight when inventing the light bulb and Ford went to work on horse’s back. Patents are references to innovative chemical pathways in general terms, with general chemicals and raw materials for ease of understanding. Real applications vary from the patents, as it is our case, for example, with the Timeplast version that’s 100% bio-based. All of our patents represent the core functioning of our technology even when no patent can truly describe a final product, which is a compendium of trade secrets and patents. Here’s a list to our patents:

Is Timeplast better than recycling?
Recapturing plastic at 100% for burning, gasification or mechanical/chemical recycling will never happen, and even if we were to recycle all of our waste, (an impossibility), eventually earth will deal with the entirety of our materials, recycled or not. The more likely reality is that plastics end up in the environment/oceans fragmenting into microscopic pieces, and with that, the food chain and our bloodstream (according to many studies we ingest about the weight of a credit card in micro plastics every week https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666911022000247).
Plastics’ incineration takes solid carbon and turns it into gas carbon, which means that we’re taking a solid, local problem, and turning it into a global gaseous problem.
Recycling not only is not feasible but it effectively creates more pollution given that plastic is not truly recyclable but downcyclable, (https://www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org/blog/2022/5/16/what-really-happens-to-your-plastic-recycling ) meaning that it loses quality (increased cross-links, micro-ash formation within the chain and with that its ability to micro fragment) every time it is recycled, unlike metal and glass which are truly recyclable. Not only that, but recycling implies reusing, and the reutilization of conventional (fossil-based) plastics may seem like another great idea, however it may possibly be the worst option of them all. Examples of why, are Kettles and baby bottles which shed micro-plastics with every use. Dunzhu Li and other researchers at Trinity College Dublin, reported last October in a paper published in Nature Food; “If parents prepare baby formula by shaking it up in hot water inside a plastic bottle, their infant might end up swallowing more than one million microplastic particles each day" the team calculated.
Circular economy (the dream of a utopian perfect recycling system) is not feasible unless we adapt it to a planetary level. For that reason, Nature developed water as the main chemical circular route to deal with waste through its universal solvent capabilities. Water is the key to all elements of life, and we should follow that chemical pathway. Microplastics exist precisely because they can be eroded down to nanometric particles without losing their molecular weight, if they were hydro soluble their molecular weight would drop to naturally occurring levels.
Timeplast’s vision is that all waste materials should be water-soluble, which is why we've patented the first co-polymer plastic material with programmable water solubility, so that we adapt our society to our planet’s Grand Chemistry.
We believe that instead of recycling, biodegradation, or any other solution, the actual sustainable gold standard is water-solubility. When you look at our planet from outer space it is blue for a very important reason, Nature developed water as the universal solvent, and just like Francis Bacon said; “Nature to be commanded must be obeyed”.

Is Timeplast toxic?
One of the most frequently asked questions we get is; If Timeplast dissolves in water, it obviously hasn’t disappeared given that matter never disappears. So are you now creating liquid plastics or leaving behind toxic byproducts?
If you have the same doubt, please allow us to elaborate.
You are correct when assuming that just because something dissolved does not mean that it is gone or that it doesn’t change the chemical composition of the remaining water that dissolved it. Sometimes you may have a toxic chemical in solid form, and after it dissolves, it will remain in invisible form, yet its toxicity will linger. Examples of this would be radioactive materials, which could dissolve in water and then appearing inexistent while they continue to pollute.
Having said that, Timeplast behaves like sugar alcohol after dissolution. Unlike fossil-based plastics, safety was the number one characteristic in the design of our materials. To that point, our raw materials have been independently approved for human consumption, and we have certified through an independent laboratory in an ASTM test, that Timeplast fully dissolves. Complete dissolution usually takes it down to a 80gr/mol molecular weight (sugar is around 400gr/mol). This doesn’t mean that it disappears but that it breaks down into natural occurring very low molecular weight molecules. In other words, it leaves behind no microplastics at all given the fact that after a full dissolution what is left is Ethanol and Hydroxyl groups, which are compounds made of carbon and an OH radical (as in oxygen and hydrogen). These groups are ever present in biochemistry, they’re constantly present in oceanic water, in alcohols, fats and fatty acids, sugars, amino acids, peptides, proteins and throughout the entire biochemical cycle, our tech doesn’t stimulate the creation of new elements that may be problematic or toxically-diverse. There are some groups with anhydrous radicals which is why we talk about groups (in plural) yet all of them are safe. Honestly speaking in large quantities dissolved in small water volumes they could change water’s pH but only if the water is contained, however the planet has 321 million cubic miles of water, so altering water’s planetary pH is impossible even if we dumped the Timeplast’s equivalent of 1000 times the amount of plastic our society is producing each year at once in the oceans. We actually made a field test and video on this https://youtu.be/HM9ID3wrLpk
Since our technology allows the molecular programming in any type of plastic, we do have other cheaper alternatives that can come from petroleum if the customer needs it, yet even in these cases, we’re addressing the main problem with conventional plastics; which is the fact that they never dissolve, not even when they have been eroded down to a nanometric particle, they continue to have an ultra high molecular weight, forever polluting the food chain. A fossil-based alcohol is chemically very similar to a bio-based one, and byproducts after dissolution won’t have the toxic biomagnification, meaning they won’t leave behind microplastics forever lingering in our environment, actually the other way around, they’ll perform properly for the intended pre-programmed time (ergo our company’s name), not any longer, and right afterwards the entire molecular structure will safely dissolve to naturally occurring molecular weight levels, which is the only path to have a clean environment at the macro, micro and nanometric level.
In contrast, our world is already filled with petroleum based micro plastics and pH isn’t being changed however we are now consuming plastic in nearly every drink we have or food we eat from a container, which is why we all are ingesting roughly the weight of a credit card every week according to studies https://www.eenews.net/articles/microplastics-have-been-found-in-human-blood-now-what/
What is concerning to us is the fact that we're still using conventional fossil-based plastics as if they were safe, because they are in fact seemingly safe or non-toxic from today's safety standards perspective, however the most recent science explains irrefutably that conventional plastics are in fact very toxic and we’re ingesting them at a rate of one credit card (weight equivalent) per week. The question would be, what would you rather have in your lungs and bloodstream; microplastics or sugar alcohol? We’re not solving 100% of the issues related to a material as massively used as conventional plastics, but we’re definitely a move in the right direction.

Did Timeplast invent water soluble plastics?
No, we didn’t invent water soluble plastics. PVA for example (dishwasher pods film material), was invented back in 1924, yet have you ever seen a mass commercial implementation of PVA? PVA in the consumer packaging space has been relegated to detergent pods. All hydro soluble polymers invented in past have the same issue; their challenge in being a feasible substitute for conventional plastic given the fact that they begin to dissolve immediately after they come in contact with water.
Timeplast's main technological point, and our key innovation behind all of our patents is the discovery of a chemical pathway which allows us to induce a copolymerization level that would render a chain both hydrophobic for a limited period of time, to then hydrophilic turn polar and become completely water soluble, in other words the main difference between all water soluble plastics of the past and Timeplast is the programmability of its portfolio.
Making a plastic exclusively non-soluble or soluble is easy, which is why all plastics are that way. Making them water resistant for a limited period of time (which is logically required if we want to substitute the uses of conventional plastic) and then fully soluble (like sugar) is precisely the problem which Timeplast has addressed and solved.

please compare timeplast in two scenarios.
cups made of corn that can be composted. Environmental and cost.
carbon cost to produce a plastic product vs timeplast.
Also. When done using a timeplast product, do you just put it in the bathtub and let it dissolve? Send it to landfill where, it remains intact until enough water flows? Recycle it somehow? Burn it to make energy?
Thanks

A few questions?1. Is this a venture where you do the manufacturing of the base components and they can form them in their plants? 2. Do you have patents for the machines that can be put at remote, small businesses for application purposes? 3. In the event of a sale, would you be more inclined to fully sell the patent rights or just sell a non-excusivity rights manufacturing to manufacture the product and sell, but contracts expire overtime? 4. Have you considered using a thin blown plastic as a liner to extend the usability of the product? If you’ve given any thought to any of these topics I would love to hear it.

Watched your new video. THerte seemed to be too much time devoted to "Would you be willing to pay a little more....?". Unless the added cost is significant (say more than 2%), consumers will likely not notice an icrease. If it is significantly more, then the video should not have this subject included, especially given the mediocre reposnes from those interviewed. Just my opinion.

There are some schemes to batch recycle a wide range of plastics through heat and/or chemical processes. Since municipal waste mixes a wide range of products, is there anything about Timeplast that would be incompatible with these methods, or would it require separate disposal?

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
