Single-use plastics are a major contributor to the fast accumulating plastic waste. Today, Bioplastics have increasingly become the main focus of attention as an alternative to conventional plastics.
Understanding Bioplastics
Bioplastic refers to biodegradable plastic made through biochemical processes from biomass materials, such as sugar extracted from cassava and corn, that can be broken down by microbial activities in natural environments into water, biomass and carbon dioxide, which are vital for plant growth. Bioplastics comprise a great variety of materials.
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.
