We are the Australian and New Zealand commercial partner for a breakthrough US biopolymer — a patented blend of starches, polysaccharides and engineered polymers that brings genuinely sustainable materials to market for the first time.
Whether you manufacture, distribute or need a sustainable alternative for your products or site — we have a solution that fits your business.
We supply biopolymer resin to Australian manufacturers who produce finished biodegradable products. Golf tees, fishing lures, nursery pots and more — made here, sold here.
Buy biopolymer resin pellets direct. Run them in your existing injection moulding, extrusion or thermoforming equipment without any process changes.
Biodegradable soil stabilisation and dust suppression for construction and mining. Mandated compliance made sustainable — the only product that actually regenerates the ground.
The reason most manufacturers haven't switched to sustainable materials isn't ideology — it's operational friction. Our biopolymer removes that friction entirely.
| Other Bioplastics | Clean Plastics | |
|---|---|---|
| Machine changeover required | Yes | None |
| Microplastics left behind | Yes | Zero |
| Marine biodegradable | Rarely | Yes |
| Safe if ingested by fish | No | Yes |
| Safe for waste management | No | Yes |
Runs seamlessly on your existing equipment at lower temperatures — no retooling, no recalibration, no production downtime, and reduced energy usage.
Decomposes completely in marine, soil and composting environments — not just industrial facilities. Leaves zero microplastic residue and no toxic byproducts.
Registered with AICIS as the Australian introducer of record. All chemical components listed on the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals.
Australian owned and operated, based in Sydney, NSW. We're here for technical questions, trials and commercial conversations.
From fishing line to construction sites, our biopolymer resin has a solution across multiple sectors facing regulatory and consumer pressure to move away from conventional plastic.
Biodegradable fishing line, lures and accessories. Safe for marine environments — fish can ingest it without harm.
Biodegradable golf tees for courses mandating sustainable alternatives. High volume, simple switch.
Dust suppression and soil stabilisation for construction sites. Mandated compliance, zero microplastics.
Federally regulated dust control for mining operations. The only biodegradable solution that regenerates soil.
Biodegradable nursery pots and agricultural film. Reduces plastic waste across the supply chain.
Coffee lids, straws and food service packaging. Coming soon — pending food contact regulatory approval in Australia.
Any injection moulder, extruder or thermoformer wanting to offer sustainable product lines without changing equipment.
Biodegradable agricultural film for mulching and crop protection. Tills straight back into the soil.
Nobody chose to fill the world's oceans with microplastics. Nobody decided that fishing line, golf tees and nursery pots should persist in the environment for 400 years. It happened by default — because genuinely sustainable alternatives either didn't exist, cost too much, or required manufacturers to retool their entire operations.
Those barriers no longer exist. Our biopolymer resin is a verified drop-in replacement for conventional plastic — running on existing equipment, at comparable cost, with zero microplastic residue. The only thing standing between the current situation and a better one is adoption.
That's what we're here to accelerate.
Every product made with our resin degrades completely — in soil, water, and marine environments — leaving no toxic residue, no persistent fragments, and no lasting environmental footprint.
Sustainable materials have historically required new equipment, new processes, and new supply chains. Our drop-in resin removes every operational excuse not to switch.
Independent ecotoxicity testing. AICIS regulatory compliance. We make no claims we can't support — and we hold our product and our partners to the same standard.
Our goal is to build sovereign Australian manufacturing capability in biopolymer production — so that sustainable materials are made here, tested here, and held to account here.
Since 1950 we have produced over 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic. Most of it still exists — fragmenting, invisibly, into the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the bodies of every living thing on earth. The science is no longer ambiguous.
Patients undergoing arterial surgery who had microplastics in their plaque faced a significantly higher risk of heart attack, stroke and early death — the first major human study to directly link microplastic accumulation to cardiovascular outcomes.
Nanoplastics can enter individual cells and reach cell nuclei, triggering oxidative damage, DNA damage, and changes in gene expression — established precursors to cancer development in humans.
Microplastics were found deep within the tonsil tissue of healthy children, including visible Teflon particles under a microscope. Researchers are now investigating links to rising rates of paediatric thyroid disease.
Cancer rates in people under 50 are rising for the first time in recorded history. Young-onset colorectal cancer is up 2–3% per year. Breast cancer and lung cancer in young adults are also increasing. While causation is still being established, the concurrent rise of microplastic contamination across every human tissue type — and the documented mechanisms of DNA damage and hormonal disruption microplastics trigger — has led researchers at Dana-Farber, Harvard, and Stanford to call for urgent clinical investigation.

Australia's single use plastic bans are expanding. The question isn't whether your products will need to change — it's whether you're ahead of it or behind it.
Single use plastic straws, cutlery and stirrers already banned nationally
PVC and polystyrene food packaging phasing out across all states by mid-2026
Victoria has the strictest bioplastics legislation in the country — and other states are following
Fishing lures, golf tees and nursery pots are under increasing environmental scrutiny
Safe Work Australia mandates dust suppression on all construction sites — biodegradable is the future standard
Safe for waste management — breaks down through standard processing without contaminating waste streams
Our biopolymer resin has undergone rigorous independent ecotoxicity testing across multiple environments. The results speak for themselves.
Our biopolymer is safe if ingested by fish and marine life — a critical differentiator for fishing products entering waterways. No harmful residues, no microplastics, no lasting environmental impact.
Not because we stopped caring — but because the material itself breaks down harmlessly. Consumed by soil microorganisms. Gone without a trace. Safe by design, not by luck.
We envision a world where plastic that escapes into the environment doesn't stay there forever. Where it breaks down into compounds that soil microorganisms can consume, leaving nothing behind that accumulates in tissue or water. Where "safe if it's lost" is the baseline expectation — not the exception.
Whether you want to trial the resin, discuss a supply arrangement or find out more — we'd love to hear from you.
