The renewable plastic at the right price. 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.

Cost Benefits
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.

Cereplast Products
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.

A Better Bio-based Plastic
Cereplast resincan be used in all major converting processes such as injection molding, thermoforming, blow molding and extrusions.

Bio-plastics are at the early stage of long-term sustained growth cycle
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.
