Maturity stage TRL 7 - Prototype testing in the real world

This solution is a new and sustainable plasticizer, a key component of flexible plastics, which is biobased and biodegradable. Plasticizers are common components of plastics in everyday use and in industrial applications (such as phthalates). The main issues of plasticizers used today include a high risk of spreading into water, ground and atmosphere, becoming pollution as VOC while affecting human and animal health. To tackle this challenge, Cereal Docks developed a Bioplasticizer which is safe, plant-based, biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Technically, Cereal Docks Bioplasticizer is included in plastic compounds, which are produced at large scale, and then transformed by manufacturers into final products. Thanks to Cereal Docks highly scalable innovation, Bioplasticizer' users will be able to cope with future, more stringent regulations related to the use of plastics.

The Environmental Benefits

  • CO2 emissions are lower than oil-based plasticizers and extremely low for end-products with shelf life longer than 10 years

The Financial Benefits

  • The quantity of Cereal Docks Bioplasticizer needed to achieve comparable properties than oil based DOTP is 10% less lower inducing significant savings
