CGTECH-ESR-PPBC30

Bio-based compound. Recyclable alternative of renewable origin, substitute for fossil carbon black and mineral fillers like can be the talc. The raw material starts with wood chips, which are processed through a pyrolytic dissolution where Biochar is created. Then, the Biochar is functionalized into Biocarbon, providing it with different properties that are identified before moving on to the compounding process (the process of mixing plastic with other products in addition to Biocarbon).
