Leading UK innovator and supplier of bioplastics, Biome Bioplastics, has announced the launch of BiomeClear resin, a translucent, low noise film which is strong, flexible and fully biodegradable. It is suitable for a range of applications such as office products, packaging, food services, cosmetics and much more. This new product has already proved popular in the market. The first sale has been placed to a large plastics conversion company in Northern Europe. BiomeClear provides a combination of high transparency, low noise and is smooth to the touch, qualities that aren’t often found in biodegradable films with a high renewable content. Ease of production means the resin can be converted into materials for stationary, food and fresh produce such as bread and bakery packaging. Paul Law, managing director of Biome Bioplastics commented: “We are delighted with the rapid response we have had from customers. Initial sales within the first months have further justified our investment and time we have put in to its development.” Biome Bioplastics claims to be a leader and innovator in the bioplastics market and has a history of design innovation. An example of this is the recently developed range of high temperature bioplastics, BiomeHT. According to the company, for the first time it means bioplastics can be used in higher temperature applications due to its superior temperature performance and greater rigidity.
