Our companies

NaturePlast is an innovative company that markets, develops and produces bio-based and/or biodegradable plastic solutions. In 2010, NaturePlast launched its BioPolyNov subsidiary, which has remained one of the world’s leading R&D players dedicated to these materials ever since. We are based in Caen, Normandy, in new 1000 m² premises to be built in 2022.

Our values

The environment

It’s no secret that our environment is fragile, and that it’s up to us to take care of it. At NaturePlast, we are all aware of this reality, and of the responsibility that falls to us: we have to act today, to be able to live tomorrow.
Our activity enables us to act on our own scale, by proposing sustainable solutions that are more respectful of our planet.

Innovation

We work with recently developed materials, and as such, one of the key aspects of our business is to propose new solutions adapted to a specific need. Innovation is therefore a natural part of our business. Every day, we strive to come up with new proposals – and even if not all of them are perfect today, we strive to innovate so that those of tomorrow will be.
These aspects can still be improved compared to the current situation. Indeed, the biomass used to date is mainly “noble” and often the product of dedicated crops.
In some cases, by-products such as molasses from sugar cane are already used to produce biobased polymers (in this case, biobased PET).
The use of by-products and waste from different sectors is currently being investigated in numerous projects, both locally (COPROPLAST) and at European level (URBIOFIN).
These developments are due to be industrialized in the coming years, with the aim of promoting the use of biomass as part of an eco-design and circular economy.

Respect

At NaturePlast, respecting the world around us is a matter of course. Respect for the environment, of course, but also for people. Whether it’s our employees, our customers, our suppliers or our partners, we strive to listen and respond to everyone’s expectations. Working for tomorrow also (and perhaps above all) means working together, with trust and mutual respect.

Our commitment

Zero-Loss Certification for Industrial Plastic Pellets

We are proud to announce that our plant has been awarded the Zero Waste Certificate for industrial plastic pellets. This certification testifies to our concrete commitment to protecting the environment and reducing plastic pollution.

As a player in the plastics sector, we have put in place rigorous procedures to prevent any dispersion of plastic pellets in the environment, from the receipt of raw materials through to production and dispatch.

This approach is fully in line with our policy of environmental responsibility and our desire to adopt sustainable industrial practices.

Our team

A dynamic, experienced team of men and women passionate about their professions at the heart of sustainable development and innovation.
