The Plantic Research and Development laboratory has pilot scale equipment for small scale manufacture and development of Plantic resins. Our laboratory has equipment which allows for rapid development and scale-up of new resin grades. We can also perform in-house casting trials for new grades of rigid packaging and flexible films.
Additionally, we also have a fully equipped wet chemistry laboratory complete with the necessary apparatus and analytical equipment.
Plantic is currently conducting research programs with Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Monash University, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Swinburne University of Technology and University of Queensland.
Plantic also has strong links with industry through collaborative and joint development agreements. We have already announced several joint development, marketing or distribution partnerships with domestic and international companies such as Amcor, VISY and Orica. Other agreements of various types have been signed with multinational companies and will be announced in due course. These alliances with large research institutions and organisations give Plantic access to a broad range of processing and characterisation facilities, and speed the development of new products.
Further information on specific R&D projects will be posted regularly, so please check back and see how Plantic is changing the nature of plastics.
