Seymour, Indiana, Nov. 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cereplast, Inc. (OTCQB:
CERP) (the "Company"), a leading manufacturer of proprietary
biobased, compostable and sustainable bioplastics, will launch
reVive™ bioplastic resins on November 15, 2013, America Recycles
Day. This new line of products is part of the Cereplast
Sustainables® family of resins and uses post-industrial and
post-consumer plastics to produce bioplastics. These revolutionary
resins are the first bioplastics to combine recycled polymers with
biobased resins for improved sustainability, reducing the carbon
footprint of this type of bioplastic by adding the environmental
benefits of recycled plastic.
The first three commercially available grades in the reVive line
combine Polypropylene (PP) with plant starch and are reVive R625D
with 25% biobased content, reVive R650D with 51% biobased content
and reVive R610D, an impact modified grade with no bio-content that
takes recycled PP and enhances its properties, answering the
increased demand for clean, recycled PP.
Cereplast Chairman and CEO Mr. Frederic Scheer stated,
"Cereplast is committed to its quest for higher sustainability and
we are always looking for ways to reduce the carbon footprint of
our product offerings. Not only does adding recycled materials to
our bioplastic resins improve the overall environmental benefits,
we hope that it also encourages further recycling of PP, for which
recycling is typically very low. We are offering the reVive line as
an answer to the demands of market, which in the USA is geared
toward an increased use of recycled material. In addition, reVive
will be close to parity with traditional recycled material, while
offering a superior carbon footprint for companies that are
interested in enhanced sustainability. We are excited to launch
reVive on America Recycles Day, the only nationally recognized day
dedicated to promoting recycling programs in the United
States."
