The company's goal is to produce bioplastics from non-edible parts of the plant. The basic ingredient is lignocellulosic biomass, which means biomass that contains cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. In that process, the remaining parts of the plant and not their fruits are exploited. Its exclusive technology partner GREEN SUGAR has a unique separation process for lignocellulosic biomass, which separates sugar from cellulose and hemicellulose. In a next step, bioplastics are produced.
Since a couple of years, efforts have been made to establish plastics from renewable resources in the market. In that context, mostly starch or sugar are used as basic ingredients, which are gained from maize, grain or potatoes. The input of biomass, which primarily serves as foodstuff, leads to a situation in which agricultural land suitable for food crop is used for non-food purposes. As a consequence, the production of bioplastics conflicts with the processing of food crops.
Plastics are usually made from non-renewable resources like crude oil or gas. Up to a certain degree, they can be recycled and reused at the end of the usage cycle. Yet, plastics often end up in waste deposits, in the environment or are transformed into energy in combustion furnaces. The incineration causes an increase of CO2 in the atmosphere.
The consultancy services to their customers covers the substitution process from conventional plastics to biobased plastics. They guide their customers in choosing the right plastic granulate, in the processing of plastic granulate up to the creation of the final product. Together with its highly specialized partners from industry and research institutes, PLATON Solutions provide tailor made solutions for their customers.
