In particular, the novel pasta product from The Supplant Company is manufactured from a combination of flour that utilizes the stalk of the wheat plant, a typically wasted item. This pasta has more fiber and fewer calories than normal pasta and also accommodates consumer demand for upcycled food products.

The brand's test cassette and component bags utilize PBAT and PLA materials to test for COVID-19 in a sustainable fashion. The company hopes that by developing environmentally friendly substitutes for wasteful medical testing methods will inspire other medical equipment manufacturers to do the same.
