Plantic Technologies Ltd. Competitors

NatureWorks is an advanced materials company offering a broad portfolio of renewably-sourced polymers and chemicals to the packaging, polymers, fibers, and chemicals markets. With performance and economics that compete with oil-based plastics and fibers, naturally advanced Ingeo™ polymers are valued for their unique functional properties and used in products from coffee capsules and electronics to diapers and wipes. Creating performance through chemistry, Vercet™ lactide-based solutions help innovators realize significant, measurable performance and cost advantages in products such as C.A.S.E., toners, and surfactants. NatureWorks is jointly owned by Thailand’s largest and ASEAN’s leading integrated petrochemical and refining company, PTT Global Chemical, and Cargill.

RWDC Industries is focused on replacing petroleum-derived materials with alternatives designed with human health in mind. Microplastics are now being found in our water, our food, and the human body, raising new questions about the long-term impact of the materials we use every day. RWDC exists to address that challenge at its source. Using a proprietary microbial fermentation process, we produce PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate), a naturally occurring biopolymer made from plant-based oils. Our material, Solon®, is designed to perform like conventional plastics in use, while breaking down completely at end-of-life, without leaving microplastics behind. From foodservice items to everyday consumer products, Solon provides a practical path forward, replacing materials that persist with ones designed to return safely to the environment.

We are a Versalis company and we enjoy an internationally recognised leading position in the production of bioplastics and the development of biochemicals and bioproducts of renewable origin. Our industrial company’s roots lie in the Montedison School of Materials Science where some research workers started to develop an ambitious project to integrate chemistry, the environment and agriculture. We are also a Benefit Company and a certified B Corporation. For over thirty years, we have been using chemistry creatively, as a clean, regenerative force to bring eco-design solutions to life that do not release persistent substances into the environment, that can be recycled in various ways and that can return to the earth, closing the carbon cycle.
