At UNITED BIOPOLYMERS we’re a green chemicals company, which enables the production of a next-gen starch-based bioplastic. Thus, enabling plastic producers and compounders to access new markets and innovate, plastic converters to manufacture bio-based, biodegradable, and bio-neutral plastic, and brand owners to satisfy the end-users’ demand for ‘greener’ plastics. Our purpose is to help mankind ‘enjoy plastic guilt-free’. That’s why we’ve acquired the patented BIOPAR® Technology, which enables producing plastics that are ‘friendly by nature’. Plastic products produced with our technology can be based up to 95% on bio-based materials and – if required – be 100% biodegradable at the same time. Technically our bioplastics could replace 90% of today’s polyethylene applications. Therefore, our vision is ‘to make BIOPAR® Technology the world’s standard for the production and innovation in the area of biopolymers’.
