Polymateria

aid: polymateria
name: Polymateria
description: 'Polymateria Ltd is a British materials-science company, based at the Imperial College I-HUB on the White City
  Campus in London, that develops Biotransformation — a masterbatch additive blended into polyethylene and polypropylene at
  roughly 2% by weight so that plastic which escapes a waste stream weathers into a bioavailable wax and fully biodegrades
  in the open environment without leaving microplastics behind. The company co-authored BSI PAS 9017, the first standard for
  measuring the biodegradability of polyolefins, is a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer and a Terra Carta signatory,
  and sells to converters, brand owners and packaging manufacturers rather than to developers. Its product is a chemical additive,
  not software: the public website is a WordPress marketing and media site, and the only credentialed surface it operates
  is a customer portal that serves third-party test datasets as documents. No developer program, public API, SDK or machine-readable
  API contract of any kind was found in this pass.'

  detail: Polymateria sells a chemical masterbatch additive that makes polyolefins biodegrade, not software — the whole of
    www.polymateria.com is a WordPress marketing site whose only machine-readable surface is the stock /wp-json/ CMS API,
    and api/docs/developer/app/portal subdomains do not resolve at all.
