With plastic being mass-produced, it’s no wonder that billions of it end up in the ocean each year, trapping marine wildlife, and even ending up in our bodies through the consumption of table salt. As the negative effects of using plastic continue to haunt our ecosystem, the alternative of using bioplastics has emerged.
So, what is bioplastic? Bioplastic is plastic made from biological material, most commonly plants, instead of harmful petroleum. It can be made from extracting sugar from plants to convert into polylactic acids, or by making it from PHAs engineered from microorganisms.
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.
