Bioplastics are becoming increasingly important in technical applications. In some cases they have different properties than conventional plastics. The great variety of bioplastics therefore offers new opportunities for use in technical applications. For this reason, we would like to invite you to think about some potential starting points for the use of bioplastics in your products.
We have been deeply involved with bioplastics for a long time. In our modern facilities, we have the option of producing semi-finished products from various bioplastics for you at the customer’s request. These include, for example:
How can we help you develop or improve your application using bioplastics that are biodegradable or made entirely or partially from renewable raw materials? Just use the contact form at the bottom of the page and send us a message.
A common market classification of bioplastics is the type of raw material and the question of whether the plastic is biodegradable or durable. Based on this, there are four categories (see diagram).
Plastics are said to be degradable if they decompose to water, carbon dioxide and biomass after a specified time, under defined temperature, oxygen and humidity conditions and in the presence of microorganisms or fungi.
Important renewable raw materials that are suitable for the production of bioplastics include:
