Cereplast announces commercialization of algae bioplastics

December 21, 2012 |

In California, Cereplast announced the commercialization of Cereplast Algae Bioplastics with the introduction of Biopropylene 109D. Cereplast identified a post-industrial algae source, allowing the company to commercialize Cereplast Algae Bioplastics sooner than anticipated.

Additionally, Cereplast R&D has discovered a post-industrial process that significantly reduces the odor that is typically inherent to algae biomatter. Biopropylene 109D is an injection molding grade manufactured with 20% post-industrial algae biomatter.

The algae biomass used are byproducts from algae biofuels and nutritionals, resulting from industrial processing to extract specialty chemicals. Biopropylene 109D can be processed on existing conventional electric and hydraulic reciprocating screw injection molding machines, and is recommended for thin wall injection molding applications.
