OUR EQUIPMENT
- The compounding of bioplastics which allows combining polymers, loads, additives, etc.
- The injection of bioplastics samples and demonstration units (possibility of developing prototype moulds with our partners)
- Implementation of bioplastics on prototyping equipment for extrusion of strips and extrusion of thin film.
- The characterisation of the primary properties of polymers in the laboratory.

LABORATORY
Analysis laboratory
With this objective, BiopolyNov has obtained characterisation equipment which allows determining the primary mechanical, thermal, and weathering properties of bioplastic materials.
In addition to this equipment, we also have a large network of European technical partners (private and public R&D centres), which helps us access other equipment required to validate our R&D work.
