What is TREEPLAST®?

absolutely natural products thermoplastically workable

the original Skipstone

the Skipstone, a TREEPLAST® product

TREEPLAST® is a new concept. It combines a two big product advantages:

  • It has a natural appearance, touch and feel.
  • It has no shape restrictions.

Because TREEPLAST is biobased it is a fully renewable material. New TREEPLAST products are currently being developed.

The original version of TREEPLAST is absolutely natural renewable and biodegradableTREEPLAST is originally made from wood chips (50%), with crushed corn and natural resins, now several receipies are used for different applications.

TREEPLAST does not contain oil based plastic!

TREEPLAST is our brandname for biobased products. Products of TREEPLAST are skin friendly and not electrostatic. Products are made of biobased composites adapted for your products!

TREEPLAST can be used in new products for different reasons:

  • The natural appearance, touch and feel combined with the freedom in shape
  • The bio-degradability and renewability
  • The high density, and many others...

The final product can be finished like wood and has comparable possibilities like MDF. The biggest advantage of TREEPLAST over other known biopolymers (like PLA) is the natural appearance which is a good tool for communicating the (natural) properties of the material.

The raw materials are extruded to make TREEPLAST granulatees, which can subsequently be processed in traditional plastic-processing machines. (Click here or on "technical information" in the table of contents for more detailed information.)
