Using our formulation expertise and operational capabilities, we create an essential link between
large chemical producers (our raw material suppliers) and designers, assemblers and processors of plastics (our
customers).
Competition
The production of plastics and the manufacturing of custom and proprietary formulated color and additives systems
for the plastics industry are highly competitive.
The AEPW enables and brings to scale solutions to
minimize and manage plastic waste and promote solutions for used plastics that move towards a circular economy.

Biopolymers may be manufactured from
renewable materials such as corn and sugar cane
and can be biodegradable, meaning they degrade
under biological—mainly microbial—conditions.
Recent publications from the European Union
recognize that design for composting can be
beneficial for applications such as bio-waste bags,
teabags, plastic carrier, shopping or vegetable bags
and coffee capsules to name a few.
