Solanyl Biopolymers Inc. was established in 2005, when the founders of the company, Derek and Earl McLaren, had the vision and desire to further process the byproduct streams of local Manitoba food processors. In Europe a technology of bioplastics for this purpose was already in the commercial stage. As a result, an international partnership was formed with Rodenburg Biopolymers B.V. from the Netherlands with the goal to bring biodegradable plastics to North America. For your Solanyl bioplastics needs for South America please visit the website http://www.biopolymers.com.br and they will be able to answer any questions for that market area. The method of processing available to Solanyl Biopolymers Inc. allows for the recovery and upgrading of potato starch taken from the waste stream of the local potato processing industry. The reclaimed potato starch can be further processed into biodegradable plastics resin.
