B4Plastics is a Belgian Biopolymer Tech Company specialised in: Creating (R&D), Producing (up to kton), Selling and Licensing novel biomaterials, based on a unique range of Bio Based Building Blocks (hence the B4), tailored to an extended variety of applications.
This Belgian-based company, located in Limburg, is a pioneer in bioplastics production. With its “Bio-Based Building Blocks”, B4Plastics is recognized as a global leader within the emerging bioeconomy. The company’s team of 27 colleagues, consistently pushes forward in developing biopolymer products derived from renewable resources, including sugar beet waste, wood by-products, and vegetable oils.
These materials help reduce or eliminate dependency on non-renewable fossil-based resources, while also significantly decreasing greenhouse gas emissions — a proactive step in combating climate change. Through this leading-edge approach, B4Plastics advances the development of a sustainable future.
Some of the company’s innovative bioplastics are designed to degrade naturally in the environment, leaving no harmful residues or microplastics behind. This eco-conscious solution is particularly critical given the increasing concerns around global plastic pollution, especially from high-wear products such as footwear and trimming lines.
B4Plastics’ commitment to reducing plastic waste and safeguarding ecosystems strengthens its role as an influential player in the green transition.
The company has an R&D Centre for the screening and scaling of new Biomaterials from gram to ton scale. Beyond that, their Production Centre supplies ready-made Biomaterials up to 1 Kton. Furthermore, their Tech Platforms are organised in a Licensing House for Tech Transfers to a companies own equipment and last but not least, they transform their technologies into prototyped bio-end-products that one can use and experience in their daily life – eg.: Tie wraps, brushes, drinking straws, 3D Filament, cutting boards, bioclips for plants and vegetables, plant pots,…
Their materials provide loads of new sustainability features*, not compromising on the performance of traditional fossil-based materials.
