In 2008, Plantic expects sales to increase, particularly in view of the distribution agreement with DuPont and the continuing projects with brand owners for rigid sheet material.

'Japan is a key market for biodegradable plastics and DuPont is ideally placed to provide Plantic with distribution in this important market,' the bioplastics company said in a statement.

Amylose is the Key
Plantic technology is based on high amylose corn-starch, whose unique chemical properties allow for a diverse range of applications, from the production of resin for on sale to materials manufacturers to the extrusion of sheets for use in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical packaging. Plantic Technologies also owns the technology which allows this bioplastic to be modified to suit an even broader range of needs across the complete spectrum of conventional plastics conversion and end user applications, including thermoforming, injection molding, film extrusion and blow molding, as well as rigid and flexible packaging.

Plantic's unique technology ensures a diverse range of bioplastics that can be produced cost-effectively, without complicated manufacturing processes or unnecessary wastage. 40% less real energy is required to produce Plantic bioplastic material than conventional petrochemically derived plastics' which don't biodegrade and create still further costs in waste management. Plantic-based products also offer a range of immediate performance benefits. Given that they can also be customised to work with conventional plastics, the potential for the technology is effectively unlimited, with cost savings and improved environmental impact increasing exponentially with each new application.

The demonstrable benefits that Plantic technology offers have not been lost on the world's largest and most successful companies. The list of premium quality users, customers, distributors and research and development partners continues to grow as world markets become ever more conscious of the need for more cost effective and environmentally friendly solutions to the problems of plastics manufacture and waste reduction.

Cadbury Schweppes has been using the Plantic eco-friendly
packaging since 2002. They aim to implement 100%
recoverable or biodegradable packaging across the entire
Cadbury Schweppes range by 2010.

Seedling punnets and planter pots are traditionally made
of durable plastic such as polypropylene. These items
successfully perform the function of containing the seeds
and plants throughout their propagation and growth,
including multiple handling and transport events at
nurseries and retail outlets, but are sent to landfill once the
plants have been planted out into garden beds.
Plantic pots, however, offer the opportunity to dispose the
pots into domestic compost, where they will biodegrade to
form compost for future plantings. And with innovative pot
design, it is possible to plant both pot and plant together,
avoiding the need to disturb the sensitive root systems.
The pot will biodegrade in the soil, leaving the plant to
flourish

Sales volumes (in metric tonnes) increased by 170% in the second half of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, and 120% compared to the first half of 2008.
