In Kansas, MGP, an innovator of grain- and other plant-based ingredient solutions, has announced the development of Terratek BD, new line of biodegradable composite resins. This newest entry in the company’s portfolio of bioplastic products will be introduced at the Sustainable Packaging Forum, Sept. 11-13 in Pittsburg, Penn. Terratek is produced at MGP’s Onaga Kansas facility, from a proprietary blend of wheat- and corn-based products, as well as other compostable materials. The smooth, white, pellet-size resins can be easily processed, shaped and colored by finished goods manufacturers to meet their specific product designs and needs.
