Growth for our business is fuelled by the global trend towards sustainable packaging. We hold a strong patent portfolio and a track record for creating innovative products based on our proprietary technology. 

 

FUTURE

Society’s perception and opinion about single-use plastic packaging is evolving and as a result, the demand for packaging that has a clear sustainability value is increasing, marking a trend of innovation in the application of these materials.

 

Our team is dedicated to finding viable solutions for a transition from conventional plastics to more circular materials, such as compostable bioplastics. We are currently innovating in various applications such as:

 

  • E-commerce packaging
  • Resins and films for high speed food wrapping
  • Higher renewable content resins and films
  • High barrier resins and films
  • Pallet and bundle wrapping films

 

The norms and laws of various countries are changing to promote compostable materials and their disposal. This drives the businesses, distributors and consumers of bags to migrate to these sustainable products. Some examples of regulatory standards that countries have adopted to support the shift to compostable bioplastics are: 

 

  • US Standard– ASTM D6400 
  • Australian Standard – AS 4736 
  • European Norm: EN 13432 
  • Mexican Norm– NMX-E-NYCE-273-2019 
  • Chilean legislation – Ley nº 21.100 
  • Colombian legislation – PL-2019-0724 

Our mission is to be the international leader in the supply of technically advanced sustainable resins made from renewable resources.
