Scale volume production by Q4 2025
BioBond is the second portfolio company launched by Big Idea Ventures' Generation Food Rural Partners I, LP (GFRP) Fund and is based in Lafayette, Indiana.
According to Marc McConnaughey, CEO of BioBond, "The BioMelt™ line joins the company's existing plant-based BioCoat™ antimicrobial coatings and BioAdhere™ adhesive product lines. BioMelt™ is our third product segment that is made from plant based components, USDA biopreferred with no odors and zero microplastics," said McConnaughey.
"With excellent performance and very competitive pricing, we're introducing a game-changer that will have an immediate and significant impact on the industry," said Brad Boelkins, vice president of business development. “We expect to scale volume production by the last quarter of 2025.”
Dr. Clayton Westerman, BioBond's chief science officer said, "The development of high-performing, cost-effective, and sustainable biobased products that meet industry demands is challenging. BioBond plans to expand its biobased hot melt portfolio for packaging, with future products featuring faster curing times, higher biobased content, and eventually, pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs)."
