Checkerspot's materials are
ready to get to work
“Unlike many bio manufactured materials aiming to make a positive impact in the world, Checkerspot is not limited by emerging chemistries that require years of research to understand and develop. The beauty of Checkerspot's materials are that it stands on the shoulders of all of the work that has gone into making the properties of polyurethanes amazing but with the key judo move of swapping out the petroleum for algae oil. Checkerspot's materials are ready to get to work.“
