Biopolymers Trade

The company produces biobased polymer granules derived from renewable waste streams that can replace conventional plastics in injection molding, extrusion, blow‑molding, 3D printing and other standard thermoplastic processes. These polymers are fully compostable in industrial, home, soil, freshwater and marine environments and are compatible with existing NIR sorting systems for mechanical recycling, enabling a closed‑loop material lifecycle.

Problem

Global plastic production relies on fossil feedstocks and generates vast amounts of waste that largely ends in landfills, oceans, or incineration. Conventional plastics are difficult to recycle, often create micro‑plastics, and lack a closed‑loop lifecycle, leading to persistent environmental contamination and regulatory pressure on manufacturers.

Solution

The company supplies next‑generation biopolymers that serve as drop‑in replacements for conventional plastics across medical, packaging, cosmetics, food, and agricultural applications. These polymers are derived from renewable, waste‑derived feedstocks and are engineered for full compatibility with standard plastic processing equipment (injection molding, extrusion, blow‑molding, 3D printing, etc.). The material portfolio offers high processability, temperature resistance up to 100 °C, and food‑contact compliance while being fully compostable (industrial, home, soil, or marine conditions) and mechanically recyclable via existing NIR sorting lines. By enabling a closed material loop—reuse, recycling, or composting—the solution reduces reliance on virgin fossil polymers and mitigates plastic‑related pollution.

Target Audience

Primary customers are OEMs and contract manufacturers in the packaging, medical device, cosmetics, food, and agricultural sectors that need a sustainable, process‑compatible alternative to conventional plastics.

Features

  • Biobased polymer grades produced from secondary raw materials and industry waste streams, ensuring a renewable carbon footprint.
  • Drop‑in granulate compatible with all major thermoplastic processing technologies: injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming, blow‑molding, melt‑spinning, film extrusion, and additive‑manufacturing filaments.
  • Certified NIR‑sorting compatibility and mechanical recyclability within current recycling infrastructure, supporting circular economy mandates.
  • Full biodegradability and compostability under industrial, home, soil, freshwater, and marine conditions without generating micro‑plastics; degradation yields non‑toxic by‑products.
  • Performance tuning options (e.g., tensile strength, barrier properties, heat resistance) to meet specific application requirements, including food‑contact safety and dishwasher durability.
  • European‑based production with batch‑level traceability, consistent quality control, and compliance with REACH and EU polymer standards.
  • Integrated lifecycle documentation and data sheets to facilitate regulatory approval and sustainability reporting for OEMs.
