3th International Congress on Bio-based Plastics and CompositesApril 20th –21st 2010, HANNOVER MESSEp ,
Introduction
Our world in the 21st century fundamentally differs y yfrom the 20th century:
• Economically due to credit crunchcredit crunch
• Ecologically due to climate changeclimate change
• Geo-politically due to drising energy needs

What is GreenGran?
Production and sales natural fibre bio-composite pgranules for injection-moulding applications
A f bi d d bl C C l ti l Agency for bio-degradable C2C plastic granules for film-, foil-, foam- and glue applications
Development of new bio-composite grades:composite grades:
• Oil-based matrices• Bio-based matrices• Recycle- and biodegradable• FR-V0 and HH

Performance Advantage of SoGreen’s PHB
Capability of producing varieties of copolymers or compositions Capability of producing varieties of copolymers, or compositions, by adjusting polymerization ratios, thus having broad application potential
Our PHB granules can be used for making:
– films films – foils– foams– adhesives– rubber additives

Concluding …
For sustainable applications to replace For sustainable applications, to replace traditional engineering plastics by bio-based alternatives use ‘GreenGran’ NF/PP, NF/PLA/PHB
For disposable applications, to replace traditional oil-based plastics bybio-degradable alternatives use ‘SoGreen’ PHB
