Cargill launches Biovero bio-based plasticizer - bioplastics
“Biovero plasticizers are one of our contributions to a more sustainable supply chain in commercial manufacturing, which provides new applications for our renewable feedstocks while delivering more environmentally-conscious products to the marketplace.”
Bioplastics for a circular economy | Nature Reviews Materials
Abstract. Bioplastics — typically plastics manufactured from bio-based polymers — stand to contribute to more sustainable commercial plastic life cycles as part of a circular economy, in which
Bio-Based, Phthalate-Free Polyvinyl Chloride Plasticizer
A phthalate-free PVC plasticizer based on vegetable oils can be manufactured using a single reactor synthesis which drastically lowers complexity. Due to the low price of the feedstock, the plasticizer can be manufactured at the same price with similar performance compared to the most commonly used, banned phthalate, dioctyl pthalate.

- What are natural based plasticizers?
- Nowadays, there is increasing interest in the use of natural-based plasticizers that are characterized by low toxicity and low migration. This group includes epoxidized triglyceride vegetable oils from soybean oil, linseed oil, castor-oil, sunflower oil, and fatty acid esters (FAEs) .
- Is bioplast 300 biodegradable & compostable?
- Bags, fruit and vegetable bags, films and mailing films made from BIOPLAST 300 are fully biodegradable and compostable according to EN 13432, and have achieved the OK Compost HOME certification awarded by TÜV Austria. The absence of plasticizer allows the material to be easily processed to manufacture products of consistent quality.
- What is bioplast 900 used for?
- BIOPLAST 900 is easy-flowing and therefore particularly suitable for processing by injection moulding to produce items that are completely biodegradable and applicable for hot filling (e.g. beverages). The material can also be converted by sheet film extrusion.
