"Wingram's mission is to provide the world with environmental solutions to the increasingly prevalent problem of unsustainable plastics consumption. Wingram's core objective is to create and provide alternative solutions to conventional plastics at reasonable costs without sacrificing quality. We believe in informed consumers, and this is something that is lacking in the bioplastics market at the moment. That is why we advocate strongly for the education of bioplastics and biodegradable products. As a commitment to this, all of our products and claims are certified and tested by top labs and institutions that regulate and standardize bioplastics. Our labs and institutions include: OWS (Belgium), Fraunhofer (Germany), DinCertco (Germany), BPI (USA), (Beta Analytic (USA), Intertek (UK). Wingram's head office is located in Hong Kong with manufacturing facilities in China and a recycling plant in Malaysia. With over 10 years of experience within the bioplastics industry, Wingram has spent an abundance of time and resources into developing products that could potentially replace conventional plastics.

"The TECNARO GmbH is an innovative company that develops and produces its own bioplastics and biocomposites based on renewable raw materials and markets them worldwide through ALBIS PLASTICS GmbH’s sales network, among others. TECNARO is among the leading technology companies with its thermoplastic biomaterials ARBOFORM®, ARBOBLEND® and ARBOFILL®. Customised solutions have been successfully completed for industrial series production in the three biomaterial families for years. With customers from the automotive, solar, construction, packaging, stationery, furniture, toys, household items, musical instruments and fashion industries the materials from TECNARO serve practically every market. The materials can be processed, for example, by injection molding, extrusion, calendering, pressing, thermoforming and blow molding. Users are therefore manufacturers of moulded parts, sheets and semi-finished products from the wood and plastics processing industry. TECNARO has already won several awards for sustainability, innovation and future technologies."

We are still convinced that nature is the best recycler with a perfectly functioning closed loop system. This belief laid the foundation for the actual development of bioplastics and the establishment of FKuR Kunststoff GmbH in 2003, with the focus on bioplastics.

"We specialize in producing highly fibrillated macro (MaFC) micro (MFC) and nano (NFC) cellulose fibers, either as separate entities or in controlled mixtures. Zelfo Technology’s experience in these fields extends to sources from pre-processed and non-processed ligno-cellulosic fibers and we aim to generate the best performance properties from all constituent parts of the source material. ​ Engineered fibers perform as biobased binders, composites and absorbents etc. "
