17 Dec 2021 --- US-based materials science company Footprint is entering a merger with acquisition company Gores Holdings to take its plant-based coating and process packaging technologies public. The combined company will have a total enterprise value of US$1.6 billion. Footprint, founded in 2014, has developed what it says is a “groundbreaking blend of advanced, plant-based packaging materials,” which it claims can compete with traditional plastic-based technologies on performance and price.
