We use a lot of single-use plastics for all sorts of things, and Mi Terro’s goal is to replace much of that with biodegradable, upcycled waste materials. Packaging is the biggest culprit here: bottles, labels, takeout containers, etc. What I hate with the passion of a thousand suns, though, is single-use plastics. But if you buy a plastic chair and use it for five or six days every summer for 10 years straight, well, at least the plastic had a good life while it was being used, and maybe it can be reused or recycled afterward.

Would it be great if we never used plastics again? Maybe. Image Credits: Mi Terro (opens in a new window)As an environmentalist, I don’t mind things made out of plastic all that much as long as they are built to last. Showing how the tech could be applied is great storytelling. If the company can indeed do what it says, and make it commercially scaleable, as an investor, I’d get quite excited. The company summarizes its mission on the closing slide: “Drink more beer, reduce more microplastic.” I love the sustainability story and the obviousness of it all. What I love about the whole deck is that it tells such a beautifully simple story. “Drink more beer, reduce more microplastic” - closing slide.“Clients & Partners” - market validation slide.We’re looking for more unique pitch decks to tear down, so if you want to submit your own, here’s how you can do that. Back in March, the company successfully raised a $1.5 million seed round, and today, I’m back to show you the deck that made that fundraise possible.

Mi Terro takes agricultural waste and processes it into proteins that can be used as a plastic replacement, fed as food to animals and much more. Turning waste into usable products is my jam, so when the Mi Terro team told me what they were working on, I knew I had to write about it.
