Public Profile

Grow Plastics produces lightweight, biodegradable products having a signififcanty reduced adverse environmental impact over conventional petroleum based plastics. The firm's inline expansion process creates a sandwich core structure in plastics such that Grow Plastic Products resemble airplane parts at the microscopic level. The sandwich core structure lets us make products competitive to solid plastics using half the materials. The company's engineered structure allows it to use 30-50% less material in the manufacture of its products, particularly plastic cups. Further, this proprietary approach generate 60% less CO2 during production than the plastics normally used to make red party cups. The company is now focused on developing a full product line, including applications in plastic packaging, aerospace, sporting goods, and the automotive industry with the organizing theme and objective being the creation of a sustainable and environmentally alternatives to standard plastic products.
