Plastic. It’s been the buzzword at the heart of waste reduction strategies for years, with regulations around the world working to reduce production, use and disposal of the material in both domestic and industrial settings. As well as limiting the amount of plastic we produce, there has arisen a new demand – to change the way we produce it. This need has been accelerated by the EU’s sales ban on single-use plastics announced in July this year, pushing manufacturers to find sustainable alternatives.
While plastics are traditionally derived from fossil fuel-based materials such as oil or natural gas, a new market for bio-based products has emerged.
Biome Technologies plc is a growth oriented, commercially driven technology group. The Group’s primary activity is the development of its fast growing business in bioplastics. The Group comprises two divisions: Biome Bioplastics and Stanelco RF Technologies.
