Sustainability is the core principle Chip[s] Board® Ltd was founded on and is the driving force behind our need to improve the world we live within.
Our vision is to create a truly circular bioplastic, using abundant
waste as a feed source. Currently we are partnered with McCain, the
largest global potato processing company in the world. We have developed
a process to transform their waste into Parblex™, a bioplastics used in
Chip[s] Board® composites.
Chip[s] Board® composites currently offer two ranges of composites.
- Natural-fibre reinforced melt blends for application such as furniture, fashion and consumer electronics.
- Aligned-fibre composite panels for engineering materials in the automotive and aeronautical industries.
By
combining our Parblex™ bioplastic with natural fibres we create
completely biobased composites to replace traditional reinforced
plastics. This means at the end of a products life it can be disposed of
sustainably via composting, anaerobic digestion or inhouse recycling,
preventing further contribution to landfill subsequently polluting our
planet.
But the process doesn’t just stop at potatoes! We are building a
network of food and drink manufacturers to identify other viable
feedstocks to create bioplastics from their waste.
