Bioplastics with improved tensile strength

Bioplastics formulations that boost tensile strength unlock drop-in renewable packaging and consumer product plastics.

What it is

The technology combines renewable biopolymeric substances with selected plasticizers and additives to increase the tensile strength of bioplastic parts. It targets mechanical performance metrics—specifically tensile strength—so the material can be used where brittle bioplastics previously failed under stress. Before expiration, using these specific formulation recipes likely required licensing or permissions from the patent holder.

What you could build

Develop commodity-ready bioplastic packaging films and molded consumer casings with higher tensile strength and no licensing friction.
