From horticulture to electronics, our bioplastics can be found in an ever broadening array of application areas as brand owners and specifiers realise that they can choose our materials for performance and bio-credentials.  Bioplastics are now being specified for their renewable content as well as their biodegradation.  If you cannot see your end-use here, do ask as we are opening up great new end-uses all the time.
