Innovative Bio-Based Plasticizers

Green Science Alliance has developed an innovative bio-based plasticizer derived from waste cooking oil and plant-based ingredients. This breakthrough addresses critical environmental issues such as plastic pollution, CO2 emissions, and the growing concern over nanoplastics' impact on human health.

Unlike conventional petroleum-based plasticizers, Green Science Alliance's new formulation is both biodegradable and made from renewable resources. This allows it to reduce the ecological footprint of plastic production significantly. The plasticizer is versatile and compatible with a wide range of materials, including natural rubber, synthetic rubbers like NBR and EPDM, PVC, and various resins, elastomers, paints, and adhesives. This makes it suitable for numerous applications — from food packaging and automotive components to construction materials and consumer goods.

By repurposing organic waste, the technology not only minimizes reliance on fossil fuels but also promotes a circular economy by transforming discarded materials into valuable products.
