Los Angeles – October 15, 2026 -- TIME has named von Holzhausen's Liquidplant®, a plant-based alternative to petroleum plastics, to its 2026 list of Best Inventions, which features 300 innovations. The company is building a manufacturing facility in Georgia to scale production.

Liquidplant® is built as a drop-in material for existing manufacturing lines

Liquidplant® starts as a plant-based polymer pellet produced through patented green chemistry. Manufacturers can convert it into different forms using existing processes, so it needs no new tooling or production methods.

The material targets conventional performance plastics, including EVA, TPU, PEBA, polyethylene and silicone. Applications range from footwear and wearable technology to injection-molded components.

TIME and Statista build ranking on three measures

TIME partnered with Statista to compile the list, which scores companies on employee satisfaction, financial performance and sustainability. The employee component draws on survey feedback from more than 200,000 employees at companies in the United States.

The financial component uses multi-year results rather than a single reporting period. The sustainability component applies standardized metrics covering environmental, social and governance performance.
