Kansas-based global bioplastics company Green Dot Bioplastics recently broke ground to commence the construction on its expansion project at its facility in Onaga, Kansas, US.
Entering its second decade, Green Dot, known for creating the world’s first biodegradable elastomeric rubber, Terratek Flex, as well as a variety of other biocomposites and biodegradable resins to replace traditional plastics, is preparing to introduce two new product categories for use in compostable packaging applications, including film. The Onaga facility is to add floor space to accommodate additional equipment and warehouse space in order to double production capacity. The project is expected to be completed in September 2021.
