BIOPAR® was first introduced on November 2002. The first stores that sold products manufactured from BIOPAR® were all well-known supermarkets and convenience stores in the Netherlands.
Biop Biopolymer Technologies AG succeeded in producing a plastic product almost indestinguishable from conventional plastic made from common polyolefin’s. Some of the properties of BIOPAR are even better than those of a conventional plastics. To differenciate BIOPAR®, the material was tinted a green colour. Now four years after the introduction of BIOPAR® green tinted films are associated with biodegradable / compostable products made from renewable resources. However even without this colour it is easily to distinguish BIOPAR® from conventional plastics. |
