Public Profile

Eastern Bioplastics LLC is a leading manufacturer and distributor of feather fiber reinforced bioplastic resin composites. The firm’s belief is that sustainable plastics are the future of conservation and sustainability, but not at the cost of a compromise in functionality or affordability. To that end, the firms feather fiber reinforced bioplastic resins create an affordable, functional, and more sustainable bioplastic alternative while avoiding the disruption of global population food demands. Sustainable plastics also contribute to the reduction of landfill waste by eliminating poultry feathers from the waste stream; the reduction of the carbon footprint of downstream processors; and the reduction of the plastic industry's reliance on crude oil and natural gas. Eastern Bioplastics has engineered custom, proprietary, patented processes that are able to process poultry feathers into a fibrous reinforcement additive, then compound processed feathers with resins and additives using twin screw extrusion before pelletize material into resin pellets. The resin pellets are shipped to domestic and international partners who convert them into end products.
