ABOUT US
Floreon is a plant-based plastic, derived from crops such as corn and sugar cane, making it a renewable alternative to oil-based plastics.
We use PLA, a plant-based material, as our base and then add our additives to create a tough bioplastic called Floreon. Floreon competes on performance with oil-based plastics but with a substantially lower carbon footprint, helping you to achieve your sustainability goals.
Our formulation enhances the performance of PLA, making it over ten times tougher than ABS, a common oil-based plastic.
