Our high focus brings substantial value and increased speed to customer’s bioplastics projects.  

Norner offer

• Hands on experience with biopolymers from development, processing and testing.
• In depth technology and market studies on BIO materials for international FMCG companies.
• Scientists with direct experience in biopolymers. 
• A technology center where the various aspects of a polymer can be tested like: polymer, characterisation, compounding, processing, performance testing on standard specimens or on our s packaging prototypes.
• Broad industrial expertise in plastics from polymer properties to application performance.

Client studies and research programmes 

• Norner performs strategic technical studies of the suitability of bio sources for polymers.
• Norner evaluates bio-polymerisation in a cost/complexity/benefit scenario.
• Bio polymers as neat solutions or as composites are studied versus end applications.
• Conversion to end products and documentation of end use performance of biopolymer.
• Development of new and enhanced properties and applications for biopolymers.

Examples of our biopolymer work

• Catalytic polymerisation, modification, processing and testing of polymers from CO2.
• Processing and testing of commercially available bioplastics like starch based, PLA and PHA types in film and moulding lines.
• Patent and literature surveys on the converting of various raw materials to bioplastics.
• Chemical modifications of starch to make it plastic. 
• Organising bioplastic seminars with excellent feedback on quality and content.
