Plaxica is a technology and licensing company focused on the production of next generation biopolymers and platform chemicals from renewable resources. It was founded in 2008 and is based in London and Wilton.
Plaxica’s polymers are a range of polylactic acid (PLA) based materials which are expected to have improved physical properties compared with first generation biopolymers, to have a smaller environmental footprint, be fully recyclable and cost competitive with current oil-based alternatives.
These second generation PLA polymers are likely to compete effectively with conventional oil-derived products like PET, polypropylene and polystyrene in textile, automotive, electronics, household and packaging applications.
