EcolBiotech Solutions for Plastic Parts

Established in December 2005 as a subsidiary of SK Networks and headquartered in South Korea, EcolBiotech was the first Korean company to localize production of polylactic acid (PLA). Spun off as an independent entity in September 2009, the company manufactures nano-composite biodegradable materials under its EcolGreen brand, blending PLA with twelve organic materials to create grades for injection molding, blown film, fiber, and packaging. Products degrade in as little as 45 days, are dioxin-free, and offer physical properties comparable to PS, PP, PE, and nylon.
