OUR TECHNOLOGY

The PolyEarthylene™ advantage

PolyEarthylene™ is a biobased, recyclable, and landfill biodegradable alternative to traditional petroleum-based polyolefins that can be processed using conventional equipment.

01

Biobased polyolefin

Produced from plant-based feedstocks industrially grown to not impact food supply
02

Recyclable

Unlike other biopolymers, PolyEarthylene™ is designed to be recyclable in both manufacturing and curbside recycling systems
03

Durable & reusable

A balance of strength and mechanical properties that are consistent with its petroleum-based counterparts
04

Landfill biodegradable

Designed to decompose due to the naturally occurring microorganisms present in landfill environments

APPLICATIONS

Suitable for durable and single-use applications

The renewable replacement for most petroleum-based polyolefins, PolyEarthylene™ is suitable for single-use and durable goods applications because it is thermally stable and durable.

PRODUCTS

Designed for existing machinery

PolyEarthylene™ resins are designed to be processed on existing plastic processing equipment. Companies can switch to PolyEarthylene™ without having to invest in new machinery. PolyEarthylene™ typically processes at similar conditions, temperatures, and rates as typical polyolefins.

PolyEarthylene™ is a cost-effective solution for companies that are looking to switch to more sustainable materials.
