Plantic Technologies has released its biodegradeable polymer technology.
Injection-moulded products have good end-of-life properties, including biodegradability, water dispersibility and home compostability. Showcasing their injection-moulded objects and thermoformed and film products support the company’s starch-based biomaterials alliance with DuPont Packaging and Industrial Polymers.
The global alliance with DuPont will see the two companies collaborate in developing and selling renewably sourced polymers made from Plantic technology.
Plantic is made from non-genetically modified renewable resources — corn starch. It is produced as extruded sheet or as resin granules and sold to a wide range of materials and packaging companies throughout the world.
The materials can be thermoformed, injection moulded and used for film extrusion and blow moulding, effectively replacing petrochemically derived plastics in terms of function and performance. It can also be formulated to work in conjunction with conventional plastics.
