Dow and BioLogiQ will work together to test and consider potential applications that incorporate bio-based resins with polyethylene, in the hopes of enabling more plant-based plastic products. BioLogiQ, a seven-year-old startup based in Idaho Falls, Idaho that\u2019s committed to creating plastics from renewable resources, will utilize Dow\u2019s industry-leading research and development, as well as the company\u2019s extensive plastic resin sales and distribution network, to determine if they can successfully leverage plant-based plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a science-driven company, Dow is excited by the technical and environmental advantages that could be achieved by combining NuPlastiQ with Dow\u2019s industry-leading polyethylene,\u201d stated Tim Boven, recycling commercial director at Dow. \u201cWe are looking forward to learning more about NuPlastiQ, and hope the collaboration will help us determine how these product combinations can benefit the market needs for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dow\u2019s commitment and mission to deliver breakthrough sustainable chemistry innovations that advance the well-being of humanity directly aligns with BioLogiQ\u2019s goal of discovering more sustainable solutions to plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur mission at BioLogiQ is to provide a way to create plastic products made from renewable resources,\u201d explained Brad LaPray, founder and president of BioLogiQ. \u201cThis evaluation will help us determine if there is an opportunity for Dow and BioLogiQ to work together in the future to offer new applications to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The evaluation will help determine if NuPlastiQ is a potential fit with Dow\u2019s business from performance, bio-based and commercial viability perspectives. During the next year, Dow and BioLogiQ will perform evaluations at Dow\u2019s Pack Studios Development Center in Freeport, Texas and engage brands, research institutes and associations to evaluate the range of benefits from a combined offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
