Injection moulded samples of recycled polypropylene (rPP) mixed with around 20% Renol lignin masterbatch. Using lignin reduces the amount of plastic required and helps to reduce the total carbon footprint.

Air vase by Torafu Architects, 2010. Printed and die cut paper.

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) film with Renol lignin masterbatch added. The lignin imparts a brown colour and woody smell to the film. It is used to reduce the amount of virgin plastic used, and so bring down the carbon footprint of the film.

Olive Young cosmetics packaging manufactured with CJ Biomaterials Phact amorphous polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in combination with polylactic acid (PLA). Amorphous PHA is relatively soft and rubbery, offering fundamentally different performance characteristics than crystalline or semi-crystalline forms of the biopolymer. It is a bio-based material that is certified for industrial and home compost, soil biodegradable and marine biodegradable. When combined with other bioplastics, such as PLA, it enhances the biodegradability and compostability of products. In the case of this cosmetics packaging, the PHA/PLA blend replaces acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Image CJ Biomaterials.

Expanded foam packaging produced with Kaneka polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) bio-based and biodegradable polyester. The packaging is recyclable and compostable, providing an alternative to fossil-based expanded polypropylene (EPP) and expanded polystyrene (EPS).
