However, bio-based plastics can be a great solution for making your next medical device or piece of diagnostic equipment more sustainable. With bio-based plastics, you can not only reduce the CO2 value in the supply chain by up to 80%, but also help to combat the vast amount of plastic waste in the market.
BIOVOX GmbH offers a range of medically suited biopolymers, made from PLA (polylactic acid). Derived primarily from renewable resources like corn starch or sugar cane, PLA is an environmentally friendly alternative to some traditional plastics.
The MedEco polymers from BIOVOX GmbH are made up from up to 100% renewable raw materials. Offering rigid, transparent, sterilisable solutions these materials are not only suitable for both injection moulding and extrusion processes, but they also conform to ISO 10993 (4.5, 10 & 11) and are accredited to ISO 13485 standards.
