Description
Floreon Ltd is a pioneering company that embarked on a journey in 2011 to create a sustainable alternative to oil-based plastics. Shaun Chatterton founded the company to address the environmental issues associated with traditional plastics through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with the University of Sheffield. This collaboration led to the development of Floreon's patented material, a bioplastic derived from renewable resources like sugar cane and corn.
Floreon's innovative compound, based on polylactic acid (PLA), offers the same performance as conventional plastics but with sustainable end-of-life options, including industrial composting and recycling. The material seamlessly integrates into existing manufacturing processes without needing new equipment, making it a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution. Floreon's products are available globally, with production capabilities in the UK, Europe, and China, and have achieved significant certifications, including the UL94V-0 rating for fire safety. This achievement underscores Floreon's commitment to providing high-performance, sustainable materials that meet stringent safety and environmental standards.
