2. Who we are
BioApply Polymers is your one stop provider for
your biomaterials based projects.
• Founded in 2011. Based in Gland (VD) with
industrial site in Büren a.A. (BE). Representative
Offices in San Diego (US) and Dubai (UAE).
• We combine forces of a polymer processing
market leader and a pioneering bioproducts
brand.
• Proprietary and exclusive biocompound grades.
• Product development, process engineering and
prototyping.

3. The pain and the opportunity
Clear opportunity for Sustainable Solution
• Increasing bans & restrictive regulations (PVC, EVA, PE).
• Existing Market for biodegradable products +30% / year.
• Governments and corporations shift towards biomaterials.
• End consumers demand biodegradable products or made from
renewable sources.
Vinyl chloride PVC causes liver and kidney issues, as well as brain damage.
Up to Trillion plastic bags (PE) are used yearly worldwide.
Up to 400 Years time for plastic (PE) products to degrade.
