Manufacturing
Treeplast® is a new material. It is made from wood, fully renewable, thermoplastic and biodegradable. It can be processed in traditional plastic-processing machines and turned into toys, environmentally sound business-gifts or products for the wood industry, packaging industry or agriculture. Because of its natural ingredients Treeplast is employable where some plastics are not. Treeplast® comes in different versions; a fully biodegradable version, a water-resistant version and several others. It is skin friendly and not electro-static. The final product can be finished like wood and has comparable possibilities like MDF. Gift from the designer.
