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.'

    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.
