News coming from Earthtimes is that Cereplast has a new strategic plan in place to go after the bioplastic market. They look to working with NatureWorks™ to develop greater market applications. Cereplast has been all over the news recently. Doral's, Safety 1st® (for those who have kids) will start marketing hybrid bioplastic items for babies and children. Georgia Pacific recently announced they will be partnering with Cereplast and NatureWorks to put PLA into Dixie® Cups.
What does this all mean?
Working in the supply chain with bioplastic producers for greater market application, and those manufacturers who are supplying the products for the brand-owners?
Cereplast is shutting down the yet to be built/finished facility in Seymour, Indiana. It also looks as though the California plant will be shutting down by Cereplast CEO Frederic Scheerer statement... "“This is the painful part of growth,” said Scheer. “Unfortunately, we will not be able to include many of our manufacturing employees as we move forward. However, we plan to focus on our strengths and anticipate hiring additional product development and marketing personnel in the future.”
