- StellanylStellanyl sheets are made from industrial hemp and PLA. Stellanyl is available in naturel, white and black. Stellanyl sheets are rigid and strong. The sheets can be printed, bonded with glue, cut, milled and lasered.
- MellanylMellanyl sheets are made from 100% PLA (poly-lactic acid/polylactic acid), a plant-based bioplastic derived from corn or sugarcane. Mellanyl sheets closely resemble polystyrene sheets and share some of the same properties. The sheets are easily printable. They can also be cut, drilled, bent, milled and laser-cut.
- FibernylFibernyl sheets are made from elephant grass fibers, starch, and PLA (poly-lactic cid/polyactic acid), a plant-based bioplastic derived from corn or sugarcane. Elephant grass is an extremely sustainable crop grown in the Netherlands. It captures four times more CO2 than trees, and no fertilizers or pesticides are used in its cultivation.
- Gelatine BioplasticThe gelatine bioplastic is light and flexible. The natural and original colour is yellow with transparency. When fabricated with tea, the yellow colour from gelatine will blend with the tea colour. It can assume different colours when pigments are combined with the yellowish base.
- Eggshell-based ceramics and bioplasticsEggshells, a globally abundant food waste, are increasingly recognized as a sustainable feedstock for innovative materials such as ceramics and bioplastics. Eggshell-derived calcium carbonate serves as a low-carbon alternative to mined limestone in ceramic production. Eggshells are also revolutionizing bioplastics as a biobased filler and biodegradability enhancer.
- Bioplastic bags from cassava and shrimp waste on Plastic Bag Free DayIn the past years, we have discussed many sources of bioplastic. From cheese waste to pine needles, and from milk to cow dung, all…
- Leaf-Inspired Bioplastic Promises Strong, Fully Biodegradable PackagingResearchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a breakthrough in bioplastic design that could transform sustainable packaging and beyond. Inspired by the…
- Bioplastics from Organic WasteRotterdam based architect and designer, Anna Vershinina, has developed an extensive series of bioplastics made from organic waste. Depending on the ingredients, their concentration and preparation methods, one can create bioplastics with specific characteristics and sizes.
- Turing seafood waste in biodegradable bioplasticFour designers from The Royal College of Art & Imperial College London developed new manufacturing processes to turn seafood waste into biodegradable, recyclable bioplastics.…
- Bioplastic called Wheypack made from cheese wasteIf there is one thing the Dutch, and thus Materia employees, love, it’s cheese. However, in the cheese making process, a byproduct called whey…

- PHA bioplastic made with the help of predatory bacteriaPHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) are polyesters produced by bacteria, which are an alternative to petroleum-based plastics. There are various ways to extract the bioplastic from the…
- PHA bioplastic made from sewage sludgePolyhydroxyalkanoates or PHAs are high quality bioplastics produced by bacteria. These bacteria produce the material when there is an abundance of food, to eat…
- Fantastic BioplasticFantastic Bioplastic is a product range produced from GMO-Free potato starch. The raw materials and environmentally friendly additives used are 100% compostable, biodegradable, recyclable and reusable. This product breaks into pieces under certain conditions of light, heat and humidity, ultimately disappearing without leaving toxic particles in the environments.
- Engineered Bacteria Turn Potato Starch Into Biodegradable BioplasticResearchers at the University of Barcelona have developed a biodegradable bioplastic from unprocessed potato starch. The material offers a promising alternative to conventional petroleum-based…
- Egg bioplasticTo address this shift of value and to generate awareness for the waste of eggs on an many scales but also for the consumption habits of the individual, in the project ‘How do you like your eggs’ expired egg whites and shells are thermoformed into bioplastic cups with zero additives. The b-stock and damaged eggs used for this project come from the organic farming project Geluksvogel.
