Leaders of the world have been racking their brains over climate urgency and the mounting crisis of plastic waste. Several business leaders have also dedicated their lives to finding a viable solution to this crisis. Manuel Rendon, is one such leader who is not just imagining a cleaner future – he’s taking action, rather engineering it.
Leading Timeplast, Manuel Rendon is an environmental engineer turned groundbreaking entrepreneur who is at the forefront of material science innovation. With Timeplast, and his innovative leadership, he is rewriting the rules of sustainability with a revolutionary concept: plastics that are designed to disappear.
Under his leadership, Timeplast has developed the world’s first time-programmable, water-soluble plastic alternatives—materials that hold their shape through use but dissolve completely after, leaving no trace, no microplastics, and no compromise. With over a decade of relentless research and a rapidly expanding portfolio of patented solutions, Rendon has captured the attention of global giants like Nestlé and is on track to place his eco-disruptive materials on the shelves of every major retailer from Walmart to Costco.
But Rendon’s mission goes far beyond product innovation—he envisions a planet no longer burdened by the permanence of plastic. From developing smart materials like TimeMass™ for agriculture and 4D printing, to engineering the Pabyss™, a device capable of molecularly disintegrating plastic-like materials in minutes, he’s proving that the future of waste is no waste at all.
As the world searches for leaders who blend scientific rigor with environmental integrity, Manuel Rendon is emerging as not just an innovator—but a movement.
Leading the Way
Manuel’s Inspiration for founding Timeplast was not only about inventing better material. It was always more than that. He aimed at correcting a fundamental flaw in how humanity interacts with nature.
“What inspired me was the disconnect—between humanity’s materials and nature’s chemistry,” Rendon explains. “Everything we touch is built wrong. We’re using non-polar synthetic polymers in a water-based biosphere. It’s madness.”
With this realization, Rendon set out to transform not just a product, but an entire paradigm. His groundbreaking Creation – Timeplast, is not only a biodegradable version of plastic, but it is something radically different. To highlight it simply –
- It is time-programmable.
- It is water-soluble material.
- It behaves like plastic.
- It dissolves completely after.
The added bonus is that this invention does not leave behind any kind of microplastics or harmful substances after use.
What sets Rendon apart is not only his scientific vision, but his unshakable belief in systemic change.
“The biggest challenge?” he says, “Convincing people it wasn’t just ‘greener plastic.’ It’s a paradigm shift. That kind of thinking scares people.”
With relentless innovation, Timeplast has a growing global footprint. Adding on this achievement, Rendel was also able to partner with companies like Nestlé, taking his product the extra mile. This time line only goes to prove that bold ideas backed by science can and must lead the way/.
Under his leadership, Timeplast is evolving into a beacon of next-generation sustainability, ready to replace conventional plastics across industries and change how we think about waste itself.
In a world desperate for durable solutions and daring leadership, Manuel Rendon stands not just as an inventor, but as a guide into a cleaner, smarter, and more synchronized future with the planet we call home.
When Talent and Innovation Walk Together
Magic is nothing but innovation, talent and hardwork walking together!
For Manuel Rendon, leadership isn’t about control—it’s about clarity. As CEO of Timeplast, he leads with a powerful ethos: protect the mission from compromise, empower the team through context, and ensure that every decision echoes the company’s revolutionary vision.
“I don’t lead with rules—I lead with transparency and shared knowledge,” Rendon says. “We hire people who are ready to challenge the status quo. We’re not here to do things better—we’re here to do them differently.”
At the core of Timeplast’s success is the seamless integration of innovation and talent. Rendon doesn’t believe in balancing risk and reward—he believes in engineering them into the very DNA of the business. “At Timeplast, innovation drives profitability,” he explains. “Every risk is reverse-engineered—scientifically, chemically, and commercially—before it’s taken. The secret isn’t just to disrupt. It’s to build systems where disruption is sustainable.”
With a team aligned by purpose and a culture that thrives on bold, informed thinking, Timeplast is more than a company—it’s a movement. And under Rendon’s visionary leadership, it proves that when talent and innovation walk together, real change isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.
About the Company
Timeplast is not just a materials company—it’s a movement. A next-generation chemical technology firm, Timeplast is reengineering the very nature of matter to align with the chemistry of life on Earth. In a world built on synthetic permanence, we are introducing intelligent impermanence—materials that serve their purpose and then disappear on purpose. This isn’t about plastic. It’s about a radical realignment—with biology, with chemistry, with evolution.
The journey began with steep challenges: securing funding, challenging conventional science, and overcoming the stigma of “eco-products.” “We had to explain why plastic should be soluble,” recalls CEO Manuel Rendon. “We’re not biodegradable glitter. We’re molecular design.” The early pushback only fueled our resolve to prove that a better material future was not only possible—but inevitable.
The company’s first major inflection point came when Nestlé recognized the potential and backed the mission. That validation echoed across the industry: this wasn’t just a novel concept—it was the idea. Another milestone came with the launch of Pabyss™, our revolutionary disintegration device that demonstrated, in real time, how materials can be unmade post-use.
In just three years, Timeplast has moved from lab-based experimentation to full commercial production. They have developed over 20 SKUs, secured multiple international patents, and experienced a 6,000% spike in sales growth during Q4 of 2024 alone. This evolution isn’t just about scale—it’s about impact.
What drives the company’s continued success? A refusal to chase trends. Instead, they anticipate the future and build the blueprints for it. As plastic’s place in the world comes to an end, Timeplast is leading the way forward—one disappearing material at a time.
Product Portfolio
Timeplast’s materials are composed of 70% water and are engineered to dissolve completely in water after a predetermined period, leaving no microplastics or harmful residues. This is achieved through a proprietary copolymerization process, resulting in materials that are durable during use but fully disintegrate post-use. Unlike traditional water-soluble plastics like PVA, which dissolve immediately upon contact with water, Timeplast’s materials offer controlled water resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
TimeMass™: 4D printing filaments that incorporate the dimension of time, allowing printed objects to change or dissolve over time. One variant, “Plant Vitamin,” is a nutrient-rich filament designed to release essential elements for plant growth gradually .
Timeplast Raw™: Raw materials compatible with standard manufacturing processes like extrusion, injection molding, and thermoforming, enabling easy integration into existing production lines .
Timefilm™: Next-generation timed films designed for various packaging applications .
Timeplast Plus: A copolymer integrated with calcium carbonate, engineered to replace plastics requiring higher stiffness and density, while retaining water solubility
Pabyss™ (Plastic Abyss): A molecular disintegrator device capable of dissolving Timeplast materials in minutes, leaving behind only benign byproducts .
The Seamless Future of Sustainability
At Timeplast, innovation doesn’t shout—it integrates. Their technology is designed to be invisible, and that’s where the magic lies. Customers don’t need to change their behavior or infrastructure. The team has engineered Its materials to be fully compatible with existing systems, ensuring that sustainability isn’t a disruption—it’s a seamless upgrade.
What drives Timeplast’s technology is a deeper insight: the persistent mismatch between human-made materials and the chemistry of the natural world. That disconnect is the core irritant they aim to solve. Every product they create is a deliberate response—a step toward alignment, not just performance.
“We’re not just offering eco-friendly alternatives; we’re designing harmony between industry and ecosystem.” adds Rendon
Looking ahead, the company’s roadmap includes bold advancements—smart tracking, AI-driven solubility modeling, and personalized material design that adapts to specific environmental needs. The goal isn’t to merely reduce impact. It’s to rethink material life cycles entirely—to build a world where what we make and what we discard are one continuous, intelligent system.
Timeplast isn’t here to retrofit a broken model. We’re here to rewrite it—quietly, seamlessly, and with science that disappears when its job is done.
Rewriting the Lifecycle
Timeplast isn’t just disrupting the plastic industry—it’s reprogramming the very concept of a material’s life. Instead of designing for durability alone, the company focuses on controlled impermanence—a radical departure from traditional plastics. Their materials are engineered to serve their function and then dissolve with purpose, eliminating the need for conventional recycling. As Timeplast sees it, recycling won’t vanish—it will scale globally, using the planet’s own systems. “With 321 million cubic miles of ocean, Earth itself becomes the recycler,” the company states.
Upcycling, however, is handled differently—through Pabyss™, Timeplast’s in-house molecular disintegration system that enables closed-loop material reuse with zero waste.
At the heart of this innovation is a philosophy rooted in anticipation. Timeplast doesn’t react to change—they build ahead of it. Whether it’s regulation, environmental shifts, or cultural momentum, the company’s R&D efforts aim to stay one step ahead. “Innovation for us is predictive,” they note. “We spend more time in ideation and chemistry than most companies do in marketing. Because no campaign can fix flawed design.”
In a world increasingly driven by urgent climate demands, Timeplast is not chasing the curve—We’re setting it.
