\u201cWhen they were new, lightweight materials brought many social benefits such as in the food or medical sector as well as transport-related CO\u00ad2<\/sub> 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 CO\u00ad2<\/sub> 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.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Thermoplastic Starch \u2013 TP<\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

Starch is sourced from regenerative biomass, such as corn, wheat, potatoes, or tapioca. Our partner BioLogiQ was founded to make a useful plastic from the surplus starch created during the processing of potatoes and corn. It is produced using the unique EcoLogiQsm production process and is available under the trademark NuPlastiQ. NuPlastiQ is designed to create polymers with improved environmental and functional performance rather than just being an added filler to cut costs.<\/p>\n

NuPlastiQ can be combined with different petroleum-based polymers or biopolymers to form distinctive composite materials. Then, utilizing common processing equipment, these composite materials can be extruded or injection molded. Such NuPlastiQ Resins are available under the trademark Bio Blends.<\/p>\n
