Floreon provide high performance bioplastics that don't cost the Earth. The aim of this project is to further enhance the performance of an existing bioplastic compound, increasing its heat resistance which will open up new and demanding applications such as cutlery and coffee capsules. Producing these products from a compostable bioplastic will help prevent these products ending up in landfill when regular recycling isn't possible due to contamination. The base material of Floreon's bioplastic is completely renewable and has a far lower carbon footprint to produce (70% lower than polystyrene) so the resulting products are better for the environment both before and after use.

Floreon提供不消耗地球资源的高性能生物塑料。该项目的目的是进一步提高现有生物塑料化合物的性能，提高其耐热性，这将开辟新的和苛刻的应用，如餐具和咖啡胶囊。用可堆肥的生物塑料生产这些产品将有助于防止这些产品因污染而无法定期回收时被填埋。Floreon生物塑料的基础材料是完全可再生的，而且生产过程中的碳足迹要低得多（比聚苯乙烯低70%），因此生产出来的产品在使用前后对环境都更好。
