Firmbase Materials Technology – Bioplastics
We live our lives immersed in plastic pollution: In the past decade, the problem of plastic waste has reached unprecedented levels.
Compostable bioplastics products have tremendous potential to help reduce plastic pollution and promote more circular economies by providing substitutes for single-use plastics that biodegrade easily in the natural environment, while potentially providing a valuable commodity as a byproduct. Made from sustainable biomass feedstocks, compostable bioplastics can displace petroleum feedstocks for ubiquitous plastic products. At the same time, compostable bioplastics reduce plastic pollution while diverting traditional plastics waste streams from landfills. At the end of their useful lives and given the right conditions, these products can potentially be processed into organic compost, a valuable commercial product that can generate additional economic benefits for communities and the natural environment.
Being in the chemical and plastics business over the last 30 years, Firmbase’s Founder Mr CT Pung has continuously seek for materials with the versatility and strength of traditional plastic that do not have negative environmental impact. There is no single bioplastic solution that will eliminate the pollution from plastics, especially in waste and over-reliance on these non-renewable resources. Firmbase, in collaboration with its strategic partners, has developed capabilities and products that provide our customers with a comprehensive portfolio of additives, compounds, and solutions to meet the various processes and applications. We work in close partnership with our customers in addressing their needs and a sustainable solution. It is with the Principle On Sustainability, continuous pursue of compostable bioplastics solutions and close partnership in the value chain and customers that we believe will create a cost-competitive alternative to traditional plastics and a more sustainable environment.
