Cereplast expands with green foam development

Cereplast Compostable 5001 is a compostable foam using Ingeo PLA and various biodegradable and compostable components. This breakthrough resin is ideally suited for thermo-forming application, such as egg cartons, meat trays and mushroom and berries boxes.

Frederic Scheer, chairman and ceo of Cereplast, said: “The launch of Cereplast Compostables 5001 represents an outstanding opportunity for companies across the plastic supply chain, currently using petroleum-based foam plastic resins, to reduce the industry’s reliance on oil and contribute to environmental sustainability.”

Plastics converters can use Cereplast Compostables 5001 on conventional extrusion equipment, without process or screw changes. A foam density of 5lb/cubic foot can be achieved using conventional equipment.
