Floreon Technology, B Corp certified, was born from a successful partnership with Sheffield University and specialises in transforming Polylactic Acid (PLA) into durable, high-performance biopolymers. Unlike standard PLA, typically used for disposables, Floreon’s biopolymers are robust enough for engineering applications like building & construction, electrical & electronic parts, transportation components and more. Designed as sustainable alternatives to fossil-based polymers like ABS, PC-ABS and HIPS, Floreon bioplastics offer up to 7 times lower carbon footprint, combined with lower processing temperatures, leading to scope 2 & 3 reduced emissions, and the potential for lighter, thinner parts without compromising structural integrity or flame-retardant properties.
What encouraged you to become a member of ASBP?
We joined the Alliance for Sustainable Building Products because sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Floreon plant-based bioplastics are made from renewable sources like corn and sugarcane, and significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to conventional fossil-based plastics. By aligning with ASBP, we strengthen our commitment to promoting a circular economy with materials that are not only high-performing but also mechanically and chemically recyclable. This partnership supports our mission to provide eco-friendly solutions for industries seeking to minimise their environmental impact and embrace sustainable building practices.
