New class of materials
Most plastics are made from petroleum through a carbon-intensive process. They never biodegrade, polluting our oceans and our food chain. Gantri PlantPolymers are our answer. Sugarcane-derived polymers engineered to match the durability of conventional plastics, crafted to surpass them in feel and finish. All without the ecological cost.
Engineered for lighting
We spent years developing two precision-engineered polymer blends with material scientists at colorFabb. Both are derived from non-GMO sugarcane sourced from Thai farms. Every Gantri light is made in one of these two blends, each optimized for a specific purpose.
Finished blend
Engineered for structural integrity and heat tolerance. Each part is finished with a water-based paint that's beautifully smooth, soft to the touch.

Biodegradable
Translucent blend
Light-diffusive particles are compounded directly into the blend, producing a soft diffusion profile that reveals the geometry of every part.

Harvesting
Sugarcane is harvested, crushed and processed to extract its sugary juice.
Fermentation
The extracted sugary juice is fermented using microorganisms, which convert the sugar into lactic acid.
Polymerization
The lactic acid is then transformed into long chains to create lactide monomers. These are polymerized to form our Polylactic Acid (PLA) polymer.
Compounding
Additives are mixed in to enhance the performance of raw PLAs, transforming them into Gantri Plant Polymer blends.
Extrusion
The final polymer is then cooled, cut into small pellets and extruded into filaments that our 3D printers can use to manufacture our products.
