The material is an alternative to flame retardant oil-based Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). The PLA compound offers a safe and sustainable option for electrical goods. Derived from plants, it is suitable for chemical and mechanical recycling and has an up to seven times lower carbon footprint than oil-based plastic.<b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cInnovation is about providing people with more options, not less,\u201d said\u00a0Patrick Krieger, PLASTICS\u2019 vice president of sustainability. \u201cFloreon Therma-Tech offers companies that want to use biobased materials in durable applications, like building and construction, with sustainable attributes from beginning to end of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inline-ad-para\" dir=\"ltr\">The award recognises one outstanding innovation in unique and creative applications of bioplastics materials, products, or manufacturing processes by a company based in or outside the United States. Applications are judged based on three categories: innovation, environmental impact, and market impact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inline-ad-para\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201c2024 is our year \u2013 we\u2019ve scaled up three products: Floreon Therma-Tech, Dura-Tech and Bio-Tech, brought new talent onboard and successfully launched our first commercial application,\u201d said Floreon\u2019s CEO Sandrine Garnier. \u201cBeing recognised by our peers in the bioplastics space highlights that the industry shares our excitement for the technology\u2019s far-reaching potential,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inline-ad-para\" dir=\"ltr\">Previous Innovation in Bioplastics Award winners include Husky Technologies,\u00a0Anellotech, Eastman,\u00a0Danimer Scientific and WinCup,\u00a0Novamont, and\u00a0Avantium.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Floreon makes proprietary compounds based on polylactic acid bioresin (PLA) containing 70% to 90% renewable, plant-based raw materials, including corn and sugar cane. The company says the materials are tougher than traditional PLA and can deliver significant energy savings in processing. Its compounds can be injected moulded in existing manufacturing equipment and are suitable for construction, medical, cosmetics, automotive, electrical, toys, food &amp; drinks, and 3D printing applications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inline-ad-para\" dir=\"ltr\">Earlier this year, the company\u00a0secured GBP 250 million\u00a0to scale up its bioplastics technology from the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI). In November 2023, it also received a GBP 2 million investment by\u00a0Northern Gritstone.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>sustainableplastics<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iranpolymer\/Baspar Floreon, a spin-out technology from the University of Sheffield, has won the 2024 Innovation in Bioplastics Award.
