Vernovo® is a plant-based, injection-molded material made from cellulose fibers and renewable plant polymers. It performs like traditional plastics—without the environmental cost. Patented. Customizable. Cost-competitive.
A natural fiber/wood-polymer composite engineered from two components—both sourced from nature—and manufactured through Blue Standard's patented process.
Vernovo combines renewable plant extracts & polymers, made from either corn, sugarcane, sugar beet, or other crops with polymers derived from plant constituents and extracts—no petroleum, no PVC, no nylon. Every carbon atom in the material traces back to CO₂ that was photosynthetically captured by plants. No non-renewable material sources are used in manufacturing.
By varying the ratios of fiber to polymer and adapting the biopolymer protocol, Blue Standard engineers Vernovo from durable to pliable, rigid to compostable—full solid parts up to 20mm and beyond, injection-molded on conventional equipment. The result is a material with the right balance of strength, stiffness, and flexibility for each application, confirmed by a 3rd-party life cycle analysis to generate significantly less CO₂ than petroleum-based alternatives.

A natural fiber/wood-polymer composite engineered from two components—both sourced from nature—and manufactured through Blue Standard's patented process.
Engineered for products that need to stand up to daily use—balancing strength, stiffness, and abrasion resistance. Safer than nylon or PVC across a broad range of mechanical performance. UV and moisture stable without the problematic stabilizers conventional plastics require.
Formulations designed to biodegrade at end of life. Independent university testing confirms Vernovo is non-persistent—degrading significantly under controlled conditions. Designed to return to nature rather than accumulate in the environment.
*TÜV certification pending
Formulations that are both recyclable and produced from up to 100% renewable content. Designed for circular economy models where the material can be recovered, reprocessed, and returned to productive use.
Injection-molded solid parts for consumer goods, agriculture, furniture, and beyond—custom-formulated to each product's requirements.
Splinter-resistant products in soft-to-hard formulations designed for safe chewing. Made entirely from natural, food-grade cellulose and inert plant-derived polymers. No allergens, no harmful additives—just natural material designed with safety in mind.
Meets and surpasses the strictest safety standards for children's products. Third party tested free from PFAS, BPA, phthalates, parabens, allergens, and all substances of very high concern. A natural, beautiful material children can safely interact with.
Planters, organizers, kitchen utensils, garden tools, and decorative hardware. Vernovo's natural texture and warmth provide a premium aesthetic that synthetic plastics cannot replicate—with the durability to match.
Clips, stakes, pots, and field-use components that can be formulated to biodegrade in soil at end of life. Compostable formulations eliminate collection and disposal costs while leaving no persistent residues behind.
Knobs, handles, trim, feet, and structural connectors. Solid parts up to 20mm and beyond with the strength and stiffness profiles that furniture applications demand—all molded from renewable materials.
If you can injection-mold it from plastic, you can likely make it from Vernovo. Blue Standard custom-formulates to meet your specifications—mechanical, aesthetic, regulatory, and sustainability—from prototype to production.
Biodegradability testing conducted by BOKU University (Austria), Department of Agricultural Sciences, BioPlastics Technology Lab.
In a 24-week aquatic biodegradation study conducted according to OECD 301B / EN ISO 14852, five Vernovo wood-polymer-composite formulations were tested against a cellulose reference at 58°C with continuous CO₂ monitoring.
After 24 weeks, approximately 45% of the material had been converted to CO₂, compared to roughly 70% for pure cellulose. When expressed relative to cellulose degradation—the standard measure in the field—Vernovo reached approximately 60% degradation relative to cellulose at the 24-week mark.
A portion of the carbon is utilized for producing biomass rather than converting to CO₂, meaning total biodegradation is higher than CO₂ evolution alone indicates. Extrapolation of the data projects degradation reaching approximately 80% or more relative to cellulose after one year—confirming that Vernovo is a non-persistent material that actively biodegrades in the environment.
Study conducted at Institute of Environmental Biotechnology, BOKU University, Vienna. TÜV compostability certification pending.
Test protocol: OECD 301B / EN ISO 14852, 58°C, 24 weeks, CO₂ evolution method. 5 formulations tested in triplicate against cellulose reference (4 replicates). A fraction of carbon converts to biomass rather than CO₂, meaning total biodegradation exceeds CO₂ measurements. Extrapolation based on degradation curve trajectory.
Manufactured without the processing aids, stabilizers, and additives that conventional plastics depend on.
Third party tested free from PFAS. No BPA. No phthalates. No parabens. No substances of very high concern. No artificial colors, flavors, dyes, or harmful chemicals. No mutagenic or carcinogenic compounds.
Passes the strict REACH EU standards required for materials produced in the European Union. Manufactured with food-grade cellulose fibers and certified renewable plant constituents.
Contains no dairy, nuts, meats, wheat, gluten, or fish. No allergens present. Made from food-grade, non-soluble cellulose fiber and plant-derived polymers.
Vernovo is not a material we distribute—it is a material we created. Blue Standard holds three patents on the manufacturing and development process that makes Vernovo possible. That means we control every variable: formulation, performance, cost, and quality.
Our patented process is what makes Vernovo cost-competitive with traditional plastics at scale. No premium pricing for sustainability. No performance trade-offs. A better material, manufactured by the people who invented it.
From custom formulation to full-scale injection-molded production, Blue Standard is the inventor, manufacturer, and engineer behind Vernovo.
