made out from natural vegetable fibers. Their principal raw material are agave bagasse fibers
resulting from the process of making Tequila. With this bio based plastic resins sustainable and
environmentally friendly plastic products can be produced. The technology of BioSolutions relies
on the creation of a compound material in form of master batch that combines vegetable fibers
with traditional plastics. This compound can be used in several applications like
packaging, injection parts and bio-plastic bags among others. The use of this natural fiber
compound reduces the use of petroleum-based resins (finite scarce resources) because it acts as
a substitute to plastic resins. It allows the plastic industry to look for alternatives in the raw
materials used for the manufacture of their products.
