An unavoidable evolution !
The evolution towards bioplastics cannot
be ignored. Consumers are in demand.
Looking for innovation
Engineers are developing them. Industrials
with no revolution?
are already using them.
Bioplastics are already everywhere: in research
Insert bioplastics
labs, in marketing projects, in converters fields
in your marketing
of studies, in mass-production industries, and
tomorrow… at home! Today, the use of polymers
and R&D!
derived from sustainable resources is a fact.
In all fields, the use of bioplastics has naturally
taken its place in our businesses: wrapping,
packaging, finished products (pens, flowerpots,
cosmetic bottles, credit cards…). But their newly
discovered properties will lead them to explore
new grounds. Some are fully biodegradable
and/or compostable.
Bioplastics are your best allies to lead your
company to the implementation of a truly
sustainable development. Through your
manufactured goods or your packaging, their

Training
NaturePlast offers two types of training to have a better understanding of bioplastic’s market:
• Multi companies generic training
• On site company training
• Program: materials, properties, applications, certifications, environmental data...
NaturePlast has a registration number from the Ministry of Labour.
Techno-economical watch
Survey is an important activity for any business. It is even more for new markets in evolution such as bioplastics.
New additives and raw materials are regularly developed by producers and serve to broaden the scope of these
materials. A constant techno-economical watch allows NaturePlast to possess a large knowledge of worldwide
bioplastic network (current and future producers, converters, laboratories and R & D, applications...).
Projects engineering
NaturePlast follows you and carries you to edit your projects in terms of:
• Feasibility study and market study.
• Writing specifications.
• Seeking technical and industrial partners, universities…
• Definition of stages, schedules and associated budgets.
Technical support
Like all plastics, biopolymers have their own converting properties (temperature, shrinkage, rheology...). Thanks
to the experience gained with several hundreds of clients, NaturePlast possesses a strong knowledge of the
transformation of its materials and their characteristics. Our team of experts will assist you in your testing so you
can grip easier and faster to these new materials.

Bioplastics
"Bioplastics" define polymers produced from plant resources renewable every year and/or biodegradable
and compostable.
Raw materials used for production of biopolymers called “first generations” are generally derived from
plant resources. Many researches tend to diversify resources used with the use of non-valued resource (algae,
waste…). Thanks to technological advances, all biopolymers will be derived from non-food biomass in a near
future. Advantages of these materials are therefore to provide a greener alternative to the commonly used
polymers.
The main factors on which the use of bioplastics will have an impact on, are the reduction of greenhouse
gases emissions, the use of fossil resources and energy consumption during processing. For some bioplastics,
management of waste can be managed more effectively by the elimination in industrial composting facilities.
The transition to the concept of biorefinery or use of alternative energy will make production even cleaner.
