Material from potato scraps

Chip[s] Board

Chip[s] Board ‘s company name already reveals its most important product component – potatoes. The company’s Parblex plastics [PBX] are created from the remains of potato processing, among other abundant resources. Chip manufacturers such as the Canadian producer McCain Foods take their waste to the respective production facilities where the fiber-reinforced bioplastics are produced.

The durable, translucent sheets can be formed into eyeglasses and other items based on further processing steps and the addition of walnut flour, for example. The company’s long-term goal is full cradle-to-cradle production to ensure an environmentally friendly material cycle at every stage. However, the material is not yet suitable for food packaging.
