Green Dot Bioplastics, Inc. (www.greendotbioplastics.com) announced today that the company has joined the CB2 Bioplastics & Biocomposite Consortium
The Center for Bioplastics and Biocomposites (CB2) is a National Science Foundation Industry & University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) that focuses on developing high-value biobased products from agricultural and forestry feedstocks.
CB2 is a collaborative effort by the Biopolymers & Biocomposites Research Team at Iowa State University, the Composite Materials and Engineering Center at Washington State University, University of Georgia, host university North Dakota State University, and industry members to conduct commercially relevant research.
The Consortium brings together university researchers and industry members to push the boundaries of renewable resources and establish new revenue creating processes and high-value products, including plastics, coatings, adhesives, and composites, from agricultural feedstocks that are compatible with current industrial manufacturing systems and thereby promoting rural development.
Green Dot is excited to bring its world-class research and development capabilities and its portfolio of biobased feedstocks to the consortium.
“It is crucial for the future of our planet that we make the switch to plant-based, biodegradable plastics and working together, we can speed up the process,” Mark Remmert, Green Dot CEO said. “We are delighted to join the CB2 Bioplastics & Biocomposite Consortium and add our resources to their important work.”
