BioSolutionsMonterrey
BioSolutions is a Mexican company dedicated to the manufacture of bio based plastic resins made out from natural vegetable fibers. Their principal raw material are agave bagasse fibers resulting from the process of making Tequila. With this bio based plastic resins sustainable and environmentally friendly plastic products can be produced. The technology of BioSolutions relies on the creation of a compound material in form of master batch that combines vegetable fibers with traditional plastics. This compound can be used in several applications like packaging, injection parts and bio-plastic bags among others. The use of this natural fiber compound reduces the use of petroleum-based resins (finite scarce resources) because it acts as a substitute to plastic resins. It allows the plastic industry to look for alternatives in the raw materials used for the manufacture of their products.
