Bio-based Polybutylene Succinate (BIO-BPS)

GREEN SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS

BIO-BPS

Bio-BPS is the newest generation of green plastics, a biodegradable plastic that decomposes into water and carbon dioxide with the microorganism under the soil.
It novels in its 3-fold bio-properties:

1.BIO-BASED

Made from renewable feedstocks like glucose, sucrose, biobased glycerol and in the future also from second generation renewable feedstocks. The advantage of biobased succinic is a significant improvement of the material carbon footprint through the usage of renewable resources.

2.BIODEGRADABLE

Polybutylene Succinate (PBS) is a biodegradable and compostable polyester .

3.COMPOSTABLE

– Products made from Bio-PBS can be disposed of along with organic waste.
– Bio-PBS has no adverse effects on the environment and is naturally compostable, without requiring a specialized composting facility.

BIO-BPS BENEFITS

High temperature resistant

Applications made by Bio-PBS can withstand up to 100°C. Bio-PBS can be used for hot beverage cups, boxes, and utensils for freshly cooked food.

Flexible for processes

Suitable for processes like extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming, compression molding

Taylor-made PBS material

The physical properties and biodegradation rate of PBS materials can be tailored through composition control with different types and various contents of monomers.

Mix with other polymers

PBS can also be readily compounded with other (bio)polymers to tune the performances of the material.

Fiber-binding

PBS shows a good binding to natural fibers without any additional bonding agent.

100% BIO-based

Up to 100% biobased, enabling an improved material carbon footprint compared to alternatives based on fossil resources.

Biodegradable

Biodegradable under industrial conditions (EN13432).

Customization

The end product can be customized and tailored in accordance with different applications.

BPS APPLICATIONS

BPS plastics offer an ideal solution in many applications such as:
