About Corn Next
Corn Next (also known as YJ World Inc.) is an innovative biotechnology company headquartered in Irvine, California, dedicated to addressing plastic pollution. We specialize in developing new bio-based materials, such as CornNext-17, which is a patented, 100% natural biodegradable product sourced from renewable corn starch. Unlike conventional plastics, CornNext-17 decomposes within 30 days without leaving toxins and does not require costly recycling. After eight years of research and development, we have transformed CornNext-17 into a granulated product, securing our proprietary technology and expanding its applications. This innovation has led to the creation of the world’s first drinking straw, protein spoon, and cutlery made from corn-based materials, which can be subsequently used in producing tableware, dental floss, packaging, and much more. Corn Next aims to replace single-use and durable plastics with green alternatives devoid of plastics like PHA, PLA, and other bioplastics. Our mission is to ensure a cleaner, greener future.
