Algix LLC to produce bioplastics from Algae

Many leading companies are working in the direction of developing bio-plastics and bio-based polymers for eco-friendly deals. Nowadays, Algix LLC Bioplastics Company is engaged in development of thermoplastic formulations and resins through feed-stocks. For this purpose, renewable sources are being used, the result of which is Algix Bio-resins. These resins developed by deriving up to 70 percent of their feed-stocks from aquatic biomass. In this direction, different concentrations of PP, PE, EVA, TPS etc are being applied for a wide range of end-use applications.

For commercialization and marketing of the algal biomass that works as feedstock for bioplastic conversion, Algix signed a partnership with the University of Georgia and Kimberly-Clark. The main objective of the company is to concentrate on industrial and agricultural operations like waste water treatment and livestock farming. In this series, biomass cultivation is the kind of thing that requires low cost nutrients. All these things make the company popular and appealing among the biomass producing companies. Apart from all this, the company is working for customization of bioplastic formula that will be applied in industrial, retail and commercial fields in a strong way. The clear vision and strong determination of the company together take it higher at the level of success.

Total SA, the oil and gas giant plans for launching bio-based resins

Many are here nowadays to carry out research and production deals in polyethylene; same is applicable on Total SA, the French integrated oil and gas giant in Europe. According to the statement of the company’s spokesperson during a Society of Plastics Engineers conference, Total has plan now to enter the NA rotational molding market with the vision of introducing efficient biopolymers in the industry. As the company is working for production of rotomolding resin in Europe for many years, the company is interested to do something innovative and better to meet the demand of eco friendly era. That’s how; the strategy of manufacturing bio-resin raised its head. Read more about this matter here at –

For production of bio-resins, the company is working to combine polylactic acid based biopolymers with polyolefins; further production of polymers is carried out through the fermentation process. Apart from all this, the technology giant has evolved a technique of recycling products. Despite of winning packaging applications, the demand of rotomolding is there to inspire the company for innovative deals. Just being eco-friendly is not enough for jumping into rotomolding but some additional properties in biomaterials also work well. Processing of PLA is easy and rotational molding is possible in case of pure PLA.
