Plantic Technologies Ltd. Information

Discover a better barrier. Made from plants. Made for performance. Plantic Technologies manufactures high-barrier bioplastic resins and films for food, industrial and pharmaceutical packaging. Our proprietary corn-based polymer is designed to extend shelf life, reduce food waste and lower the carbon footprint of packaging structures. Unlike conventional bioplastics whose polymers are produced in petrochemical refineries, Plantic’s polymer is grown in the field from non-GMO corn. The result is measurable performance for converters and brand owners, with sustainability credentials including EN 13432 (Plantic R1 and HP1), FDA approval, BPI accreditation in North America, and AIB-Vinçotte and Din-Certco certification in Europe. Plantic has been a part of the Kuraray group, a global leader in advanced materials and technology, since 2015. Plantic applications include modified atmosphere packaging for fresh and processed meats, ready meal trays, dairy, bakery, seafood, pet food, and pharmaceutical blister packaging. Our materials are validated by leading global brand owners and supermarkets across Australia, North America and Europe. Backed by Kuraray (founded 1926), one of the world’s largest specialty chemical groups and the global leader in EVOH (developed and commercialised by Kuraray in 1972 under the EVAL brand), Plantic combines bioscience, polymer engineering and industrial scale. Plantic has a unique position in the global bioplastics market, with proprietary technology that delivers a biodegradable, organic alternative to conventional plastics using non-genetically modified corn. Unlike many bioplastics, Plantic’s raw material and polymer originate from a renewable, field-grown source. This combines innovation with commercial performance, delivering cost, performance and long-term environmental benefits. Plantic is committed to bioresponsible materials that provide the functionality of conventional plastics in an economical, more environmentally responsible way.
