Bio-polymers are a new generation of plastics made from renewable biological sources such as corn starch, sugarcane, or other plant-based feedstocks. Unlike traditional fossil-based polymers, bio-polymers offer a reduced carbon footprint and, in some cases, are biodegradable or compostable, depending on their composition and application.
At Matrix Polymers, we are pioneering the use of bio-polymers in rotational moulding applications an area traditionally reliant on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). Our research and trials have shown that specific bio-based compounds can be tailored for:
These materials are especially attractive to customers looking to reduce their Scope 3 emissions and improve product circularity.
