Nearly all plastics come from fossil resources, are non-degradable, are not easily recycled, and can cause severe environmental and ecological damage as pollution. Additionally, they are cheap to make and easily available, resulting in hundreds of thousands of products being made from them. This means millions of tons of non-disposable waste are made each year. Waste that will sit in landfills and elsewhere for decades. Petroleum-based plastics can take 20-30 years to degrade under the best of conditions. What that degradation timeline might be when buried under a thousand tons of garbage in a landfill is anyone’s guess.

Nuvone (BMVL) can be utilized in a wide range of applications depending on the specifics of the polymerization process. From elastomers to plastics and from foams to thermosets, Nuvone (BMVL) derived materials have been shown to have outstanding performance characteristics.

In addition to our focus on bio-based polymers, we can work with you to develop custom polymers on a contractual basis. Our technical capabilities in this regard are resourceful and broad.
