Plastic is bad for the environment as it not biodegradable. We all know this but the usage of plastic is still on rise. Plastic is being used not only as a carry bag but in forms of auto parts, bottles and even keyboards. The world would be so much greener and healthier if all these were made of natural products. One company based in California is making this happen.

Cereplast (Cereal + plastic) offers cost-competitive alternatives to traditional petroleum-based resins.

Cereplast Inc. designs and manufactures proprietary starch-based, renewable plastics created from breakthrough technology. These resin families replace a significant portion of petroleum-based additives with bio-based material such as starches from tapioca, corn, wheat and potatoes, meeting the demand from consumers and manufacturers for sustainable plastics. 

Since Cereplast resins replace a significant amount of petroleum-based content with starches, the cost is not as influenced by the volatile price of fossil fuels. The manufacturing process for Cereplast resins takes place at a lower heat than that required for manufacturing with traditional plastics, further bringing down manufacturing costs.

On the cutting-edge of bio-based plastic material development, Cereplast now offers resins to meet a variety of customer demands:

Cereplast Compostables® resins are ideally suited for single-use applications where high bio-based content and compostability are advantageous such as the food service and packaging industries.

The newly launched Cereplast Hybrid Resins® products combine high bio-based content with the durability and endurance of traditional plastic. Cereplast Hybrid Resins® products meet the needs of customers in industries such as automotive, consumer goods, electronics and packaging.

Cereplast resincan be used in all major converting processes such as injection molding, thermoforming, blow molding and extrusions.

Cereplast’s leadership team is positioned to capitalize on the company’s first-mover advantage in the bio-plastics field. At the same time, institutional investors are actively re-allocating portions of their portfolios into the green / sustainable sector.
