Australian developer and manufacturer of sustainable resins Cardia Bioplastics has joined forces with Highland Plastics to provide sustainable packaging systems for consumer and institutional applications.
As part of this, Highland Plastics, a US-based manufacturer of food grade plastic packaging, is set to offer new packaging products with reduced dependence on finite oil resources and lower carbon footprint using Cardia Biohybrid resin technology.
According to Cardia, the technology combines renewable thermoplastics with polyolefin material.
Highland Plastics president Jim Nelson said the technology fits into the company's strategy of being able to provide a responsible packaging offering to its customers.
"The combination of packaging performance, environmental profile and cost effectiveness made Cardia Biohybrid technology the solution for Highland Plastics' responsible packaging needs," Nelson said.
Highland Plastics manufactures packaging for consumer and institutional applications.
