camm solutions (by Bertsch Industries) is a platform that develops fully sustainable and commercially viable material solutions - "camm" - to combat global (micro)plastic pollution and eliminate waste. Camm was started in 2019 by the German entrepreneur Christoph Bertsch who was searching for an authentic sustainable material solution for one of his health & lifestyle companies. Out of his enquiry emerged a drop-in alternative to conventional plastics and composite materials that is commercially scalable. The material will be fully biobased and can be made out of bio waste from renewables. It is water soluble, home compostable and easily recyclable. If put to landfill or - in the worst case ending up in littering, camm leaves nothing harmful behind in the environment. Flexible regarding its features and end-of-life scenarios, camm will be able to replace conventional plastics and composite materials in many industries, applications, countries & regions. Camm is being built by seasoned chemical engineering teams, experts from material technology and R&D, supply chain, product development and sustainability. To ensure scaling and commercial viability, the platform is bringing together leading partners from raw material to industry level in a joint global ecosystem.
