UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Marquis Who's Who honors Manuel Rendon, chief executive officer, chief technology officer and director of Timeplast, for his leadership in environmental innovation and material science. He has built a career focused on advancing technology to protect human health, reduce microplastic pollution and support long-term progress in sustainable manufacturing.
About Manuel Rendon
Mr. Rendon grounds his work in a guiding belief: humanity must evolve toward a Type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale, harness Earth's full energy potential and support long-term survival. Influenced by physicist Michio Kaku, he recognized the risk of material-based harm, primarily through the spread of microplastics. This shifted his focus toward rethinking how materials interact with water and living organisms.
At Timeplast, located in Longwood, Florida, Mr. Rendon leads research on polar materials that mimic the natural chemistry of Earth and the human body. Unlike traditional plastics, which repel water, Timeplast's techno-organic materials disintegrate in water after disposal and do not accumulate inside organisms. He views the biomagnification of microplastics as one of the greatest hidden threats to public health. He cites new research linking microplastics to heart disease, vascular blockages and prenatal exposure. For Mr. Rendon, the solution must be both scalable and scientifically sound.
Timeplast has gained national recognition for its environmental breakthroughs. Its depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) technology was acquired by Nestlé, emphasizing its potential for global packaging reform. The company has exceeded the maximum limit allowed under SEC Regulation CF crowdfunding twice. Over the past six months, Timeplast and its partner venture, String Cubed Inc., launched 45 new multidimensional 3D printing filaments. This brought its current offerings to 76. These materials enable the printing of functional goods, such as soaps, solar panels, pharmaceutical supports and heat-sensitive components. Independent AI tools have confirmed that many of these materials have no known competitors worldwide.
At the center of this innovation is the Manifester, a device that converts spoken instructions into physical objects through advanced 3D printing and Timeplast's specialized filaments. The system seeks to simplify how humanity builds essential tools, from basic household items to complex infrastructure. Current technology can print a straw in about 15 minutes and is suitable for consumer use. However, Mr. Rendon expects printing capabilities to scale to larger objects, including structures. He envisions seed pods that float on the ocean, desalinate water using specialized filaments and support crop growth without traditional irrigation systems.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Rendon served as national environmental coordinator for PepsiCo in Texas and Venezuela. There, he strengthened environmental strategy initiatives and earned a Best Practices Award for his work. He founded Timeplast in 2016 and continues to lead its expansion in engineering, materials innovation and public awareness. Mr. Rendon holds an engineering degree in environmental engineering technology from the Universidad Nacional Experimental del Táchira in Venezuela and completed business administration coursework through IESA.
Making an Impact
Mr. Rendon has earned multiple honors, including Most Innovative Plastic Manufacturing Company from The Enterprise World in 2025, Business of the Year in 2023 and the National Interest visa from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. He considers these achievements evidence of meaningful progress in material science and sustainability.
In his personal life, Mr. Rendon enjoys photography, gaming and playing musical instruments as hobbies and supports St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and East Coast Believers Church in a civic capacity. He hopes his work will help future generations build independent and sustainable lives using materials designed to serve, not harm, the planet.
