Plastics may be a villain in Earth’s very own TV series, but without it, many inventions would not be possible today. Plastic has given us computers, solar panels and even that iPhone you cannot live without.
However, traditional plastics are typically made from fossil fuels, and therefore contribute to the ongoing climate crisis.
The Good News – Bioplastics
Unlike traditional plastic, bioplastics are typically made from renewable sources such as plants, starches, and sugars. One of the most advanced bioplastic materials is called PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates). It’s an excellent alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based plastic because it offers a completely compostable solution, biodegradable in all types of natural environments. Products made of PHA will completely decompose without any special treatment, which is crucial for preventing single-use plastic pollution.
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.
