|
It is no stretch to say extruded applications may be one of the biggest growth markets for processors using bioplastics. MPW looks at offerings from some of the leading suppliers. Cereplast (Hawthorne, CA), which blends biopolymers like NatureWorks’ polylactic acid (PLA) with other renewable resources, including corn, potato, tapioca, and wheat starch, offers 12 resin formulations, with CPTH01, CPTH02, CPTH03, and CPTH04 available for thermoforming. The company also has four injection molding, one extrusion coating, two blowmolding, two blown-film, and one profile extrusion grade.
