Products from cow’s milk protein (casein)

Milk Plastic

Milk Plastic is engaged in the manufacture of products based on casein as a starting material. For this purpose, the curd contained in surplus milk is separated from the liquid whey by applying heat. The curd obtained is then dried and processed into pellets by adding natural plasticizers. By processing the pellets into board material, it is possible to subsequently create tableware as well as furniture pieces. Due to a wax layer sealing, the vessels decorated with pigments and colors can also be made waterproof and food-friendly.
