Biopolymers

Message from our Co-Managing Director, Dr. Günther Gratzl, MBA

“When they were new, lightweight materials brought many social benefits such as in the food or medical sector as well as transport-related CO­2 savings to the world. Today, however, the overuse of plastics is causing a huge waste and environmental problem. We have realized that in order to protect the environment, we need to rethink. That’s why at Plastrans we rely on bioplastics. We understood that fossil-based materials should be reduced to a minimum use since their life-cycle-related CO­2 emission contributes to global warming and most products are durable and can pollute the environment. Finally, it is our duty that plastics no longer end up in the environment but are reused or recycled in a circular economy until they are controlled and biodegraded at their end-of-life. Materials enabling such a sustainable life cycle are already commercially available and we are working with and distributing them. We are sure that there will still be new products and developments in this growing segment that we promote and we will stay at the cutting edge of technology and will continue contributing to the sustainable and responsible use of plastics.“
