Bioplastics Solutions

from the idea to the finished product

Who we are

BioApply Polymers is your one stop provider for

your biomaterials based projects.

• Founded in 2011. Based in Gland (VD) with

industrial site in Büren a.A. (BE). Representative

Offices in San Diego (US) and Dubai (UAE).

• We combine forces of a polymer processing

market leader and a pioneering bioproducts

brand.

• Proprietary and exclusive biocompound grades.

• Product development, process engineering and

prototyping.

The pain and the opportunity

• Increasing bans & restrictive regulations (PVC, EVA, PE).

• Existing Market for biodegradable products +30% / year.

• Governments and corporations shift towards biomaterials.

• End consumers demand biodegradable products or made from

renewable sources.

Clear opportunity for Sustainable Solution

Vinyl chloride PVC causes liver and kidney issues, as well as brain damage.

Up to Trillion plastic bags (PE) are used yearly worldwide.

Up to 400 Years time for plastic (PE) products to degrade.
