“GreenMatter goes into this next chapter with real momentum”, said Joe H. Wicker Jr., CEO of GreenMatter Biotech Inc. “We closed 2025 with $2.5 million in revenue and the market is moving in our direction. The demand for biodegradable materials is not a future conversation. It’s happening now, and we’ve built the product platform and the partnerships to meet it at scale. Our goal is to become a leader in the plant-based biodegradable industry. The public markets give us the visibility and the capital access to accelerate what we’ve already put in motion.”

Concurrent with the close of the transaction, Joe H. Wicker Jr. has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company, leading GreenMatter Biotech’s next phase of growth across product development, distribution and strategic partnership.

Under Wicker’s leadership, GreenMatter Biotech moves into the public markets following a profitable first year and $2.5 million in revenue in 2025. With an active pipeline, expanding distributor relationships, and growing demand for biodegradable materials, the combined company is well positioned for continued growth into the second half of 2026 and beyond.
