research and development

Inventing, optimizing and supporting the deployment of new bioplastics is our lifeblood.  Our experienced research team draws on links with universities and third party institutes in its pursuit of functional polymers that work for our customers. 

Our research team has phenomenal depth of experience coupled with an excitement for new ideas.  Their focus is delivering products that are commercially successful for our customers – thereby ensuring our own success.

Our scientific approach ensures that new materials are designed from the molecule upwards resulting in polymers that perform as expected.

We have an extensive range of lab facilities that allow us to both test material performance and to run pilot manufacturing tests on prototype candidates.

Backed by an extensive patent base and industry know-how we deliver unique market changing opportunities for our customers often working with them in collaborative projects.
