BIO-ON srl

Bio-on was founded in 2007 to work in the field of modern biotechnologies applied to widely used materials in order to create completely natural products and solutions, obtained 100% from renewable sources or agricultural processing waste materials. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (truly biological plastic) for the full range of strategic applications (general packaging, food packaging, design, clothing, automotive). Bio-on directly targets the agriculture and food sector (production and distribution), providing all players with the technology required to produce or use PHAs through the development of the relative characterisations. Intellectual Property Company. From the design office to the pool of engineering firms and labs engaged on an ongoing basis in the design, production and distribution of Bio-on know-how. The production of PHAs is restricted, area by area, through technology usage license contracts or industrial partnerships dedicated to specific commercial areas. Scale up industrial processes by defining production modules. We create complete Engineering from the laboratory to the production plant on an industrial scale, with production modules from 5 to 10 thousand tons per year. We offer production technology licensing with design and implementation by qualified industry partners.

Products & Services

MINERV-PHA is a high-performance PHA biopolymer. MINERV-PHA is endowed with optimal thermal properties. Production needs which range from -10°C to a +180°C can be met through characterization. This product is particularly suitable for injection and extrusion methods for the production of objects. It takes the place of highly pollutant materials such as PET, PP, PE, HDPE and LDPE. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a linear polyester naturally occurring as a result of bacterial fermentation of sugar waste. This family can bring together more than 100 differing monomers to produce materials whose properties vary very greatly. Thermoplastic or elastomeric materials can be created with melting points ranging from 40 to more than 180°C.

Applications ? Food Packaging ? Cups and boxes ? Thermoformed trays ? Bottles ? Shrink film for labels

SUKANO® bio-loy Bioplastics are the plastic industry’s answer to the request for ecologically responsible alternatives to petrochemical-based polymers. SUKANO® bio-loy biobased polymer alloys are highly attractive solutions for such a demanding task. Contrary from the typical use of biopolymers in one-way packaging applications SUKANO® bio-loy enable the functional utilization of biopolymers in more durable applications. SUKANO® bio-loy are compounded alloys and blends to meet the requirement of such semi durable products featuring good impact strength and durability.

Applications ? Caps & Closures ? E+E housings ? Sporting goods ? Consumer goods ? Cosmetic & personal care ? household, toys, decorative goods

FKuR Kunststoff GmbH

With the slogan "Plastics – made by nature!" FKuR Kunststoff GmbH was incorporated in 2003. In cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT, Oberhausen, FKuR has developed a wide range of biodegradable plastics primarily made from renewable resource materials.

PRODUKTE & DIENSTLEISTUNGEN

Generally, raw bioplastics (starch, PLA, PHA, PBS and others) are not easy to use on conventional plastics processing machinery. Only by smooth compounding processes and special additives mixtures it is possible to process the resulting blends as standard plastics. The FKuR product lines Bio-Flex®, Biograde® and Fibrolon® meet the requirements for smooth processing on conventional plastics processing machines.
