Build your briefBuild a distinctive product with materials that work for your application. EmeraldPlast combines polymer formulation, additive expertise, product design and manufacturing to serve brands and plastics processors. We turn Thai agricultural resources and selected by-products into material opportunities for packaging, consumer goods and precision plastic components, with performance, cost and production needs guiding every project.
From hospitality and tourism to beauty, packaging and industrial components, find a starting point for your next product.
Choose an application to start the discussion. We assess feasibility, agree the specification and testing plan, and confirm costs before the next stage. Product claims must be supported by relevant formulation and finished-product tests.
Choose materials that suit your process, deliver the required performance and last for the intended service life. We help you assess the options and plan the testing.
Source thermoplastic starch (TPS) pellets or develop a formulation for your process. We confirm the grade, required performance and supply terms before you commit. TPS/PLA blends and finished products require separate development and testing.
Biodegradability and compostability claims apply only to the documented formulation, product and specified conditions. Collection and treatment must be planned.
Develop durable products using suitable combinations of biobased polymers and post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. We use your durability, finish and moisture-resistance requirements to guide formulation and trials.
Specify biobased and recycled content separately. These compounds are not automatically biodegradable or compostable; design for service life and an appropriate recovery route.
Develop the colour, texture, finish and processing characteristics your product needs. Our formulation work combines polymer and additive selection with trials to assess compatibility and targeted functions, including antistatic performance, heat resistance and barrier properties.
Claims about antimicrobial activity, antistatic performance, heat resistance or barrier properties require evidence specific to the application.
Explore new material uses for agricultural, food-processing and wood-processing residues. We assess sugarcane bagasse, eggshells, seashells, rice husks, spent coffee grounds, used tea leaves, cocoa bean shells and pod husks, coconut husks, coir pith, coconut fibre and sawdust as potential ingredients, fillers or additives for new materials. This process is known as feedstock valorisation.
Each feedstock needs assessment for composition, cleanliness, consistency and compatibility with the chosen polymer. Formulation and product trials establish suitability before scale-up. These are development opportunities, not a list of validated formulations; environmental benefits require supporting evidence.
Explore a by-product development project →Give customers a reason to remember and choose your brand. Bring distinctive design, reliable performance and viable production costs into the same product brief.
Create a product with its own identity, using Thai agricultural resources and local manufacturing. We develop texture, finish and shape alongside the material, tooling and production plan.
Develop your signature product →A catalogue product can be easy to source, but other brands may choose the same design. Develop a recognisable look through custom shapes, colours, textures and finishes, with materials and performance matched to your brief.
Build your production plan around demand and cash flow. Large overseas orders can tie up working capital and warehouse space before products sell. We assess local production options, from trials and first orders to replenishment, with quantities matched to the project’s economics.
Batch sizes and minimum orders depend on the design, tooling, material availability and production economics. We agree these with you before production.
Compare imported and locally produced options on the same basis: product cost, development, tooling, freight, duties, storage and the risk of unsold stock. Choose the route that fits your design, demand and cash flow.
| Your question | What to compare | What we agree with you |
|---|---|---|
| Will it do the job? | Performance under the intended temperature, moisture and load conditions, including dimensional requirements where relevant, over the expected service life. | Use conditions, acceptance limits and an application test plan. |
| Is the price justified? | Cost per accepted part, freight, storage and cash tied up in stock; for reusable products, cost over the expected service life. | Separate costs for materials, development, tooling, testing and supply; assumptions supported by trials. |
| What happens if a trial fails? | Responsibility, retest scope and the next decision before production. | A review of the results, clear responsibilities and an agreed decision to correct the issue, continue development or stop. |
| Can we put our brand on it? | Design, colour, finish, consistency and the evidence behind product claims. | Approved references and a defined inspection and release plan for the order. |
| What support follows delivery? | Traceability, issue reporting and the agreed route for technical review. | Contact points, records, investigation responsibilities and any remedy or warranty terms in the contract. |
Quality is a baseline requirement for every project. Where evidence is incomplete, we identify the gap and agree the next test. Cost-saving proposals must preserve essential safety and performance requirements.
Tell us what success looks likeBuy materials, validate an application or develop a product with us. Your proposal sets out the deliverables, testing, responsibilities and price, so you know what comes next.
Source TPS pellets, polymer compounds and functional additives for plastics processing. We confirm grade availability, process requirements, quantities and delivery terms for your enquiry.
Find out whether a material works for your product before committing to production. A paid development programme gives you a defined test plan, deliverables and a decision on the next step.
Turn your brief or technical drawings into a finished product or precision plastic component. We coordinate design, materials, tooling, trials and manufacturing, with clear approval stages before production.
Compare the cost of a finished part that meets your standard. Material use, processing time, scrap, inspection and delivery all affect the result. Your quotation separates development, tooling, testing and manufacturing so you can see where your budget goes.
Quotations depend on grade, volume, formulation, tooling, validation scope and delivery terms. Any yield, lead-time or cost-saving estimate must be supported by the relevant trial data.
Know what we select, what we accept and what we will not deliver.
Quality is the baseline for every engagement: we define essential safety, performance and finish requirements before work begins.
A lower price or faster deadline does not justify falling below the agreed acceptance criteria.
Define temperature and moisture exposure, performance, contact conditions, appearance, service life, cost and options after use. Agree the essential safety and performance criteria before trials.
Review the proposed formulation, ingredient consistency, supplier documentation and process compatibility. A lower input price does not justify a material that fails the agreed requirements.
Agree how the trial will run, which sample will be tested and what counts as a pass. Check that material results apply to the actual product, its shape and the conditions in which it will be used.
Agree the inspection plan, lot identification, required records and release criteria for the order. Check the agreed quality characteristics before delivery. Non-conforming work is held for review and corrective action before release; products that fail the agreed requirements are not approved for shipment.
Agree who is responsible for materials, tooling, processing, testing, inspection and any rejected work or corrective action. Where feasibility is uncertain, we propose a defined research and development phase first. We decline work that falls outside our capabilities or cannot meet essential requirements.
Plan delivery around your launch and stock needs. We agree a schedule covering materials, tooling, approvals, production, inspection and transport. Your project lead tracks milestones, shares progress and flags risks early. Dates and responsibilities are confirmed for each order, with essential quality checks built into the schedule.
Set your acceptance criteriaA single project lead coordinates the specialists, milestones and evidence needed for your packaging programme.
Your team approves the specification, costs and key decisions.
Bring your packaging challenge, component drawing or product idea. We turn the requirements for performance, appearance, cost and delivery into a coordinated plan for formulation, design, tooling and trials.
Give your team a clearer basis for product review. We bring together material specifications, composition information, supplier documents and relevant test results, and identify missing evidence early for your technical and regulatory advisers.
Plan manufacturing, quality control, logistics, collection and recovery together. Assess reuse, recycling or industrial composting against the product’s requirements and the infrastructure available in its destination market.
Could a simpler material structure work for your packaging? We explore mono-material options alongside barrier needs, sealing, labels, closures and production requirements. The aim is to simplify the pack while protecting the product. Recyclability must be assessed for the finished packaging and the collection and recycling systems available in its destination market.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) generally applies from 12 August 2026, with specific obligations introduced on different schedules. The relevant requirements depend on the packaging and market.
Relevant topics include recyclability, recycled content, packaging minimisation, reuse and labelling, as applicable. We help coordinate design and evidence work for review.
Keep your team focused on the decisions that matter. We coordinate the specialists, milestones and supporting documents, while you approve the product specification, costs and next steps.
Biobased content or compostability alone does not establish PPWR compliance. Assessment covers the finished packaging and the responsible operator's obligations. EmeraldPlast provides development and coordination support; compliance must be established for the specific packaging.
Discuss your brand's packagingEmeraldPlast creates value from agricultural feedstocks and selected waste streams by developing functional material ingredients. We develop and supply polymer compounds and additives for plastics processing, alongside product engineering, precision plastic component manufacturing and production services.
Our revenue comes from paid development and engineering, recurring material sales and repeat manufacturing orders. In-house compounding and injection moulding, supported by qualified production partners, connect material development with commercial supply.
Start with the need you have today: a material specification, product idea, existing component or packaging challenge. We scope the right first step, from material supply to a paid trial or manufacturing programme, with clear requirements and approvals for repeat orders.
Discuss a trial or supply partnership →Back the steps that turn material innovation into repeat business. Paid development and engineering establish customer requirements and production specifications; qualified applications can lead to recurring material sales and manufacturing orders. We seek climate and circular economy investors to support feedstock valorisation, formulation development, testing, customer qualification and production capacity. Progress is measured through validated applications, paid orders, repeat purchases and viable margins.
Discuss investment & scale-up →We also consider licensing and technology transfer, with formulation ownership, process rights, transfer scope and commercial terms agreed in advance.

Make sustainability part of the product brief, not an afterthought.
Choose materials, design and manufacturing around performance, service life and a practical route after use.
Evaluate renewable feedstocks, selected by-products and recycled-content options against the product's actual requirements. Consider material use, manufacturing, durability, transport and disposal together.
Biobased content is one part of the assessment. Comparative carbon or environmental benefits require a defined baseline and appropriate lifecycle evidence.
Prioritise material efficiency, reuse and longer service life where they fit the application. Evaluate recycling against the formulation and the collection and processing systems available in the target market.
For selected short-life products, investigate certified industrial-composting pathways where suitable collection systems and facilities that accept the product are available. A material label alone does not create a circular system.
These goals help us set project objectives and identify the outcomes to track.
SDG 9Material formulation, application engineering and manufacturing collaboration.
SDG 12Resource efficiency, product-life planning and practical recovery pathways.
SDG 17Connecting brands, manufacturers, designers and laboratories around defined projects.
Make progress measurable. Agree project-specific indicators such as verified biobased or recycled content, material use per part, production scrap, service life and collection or recovery outcomes. Record the baseline, test method and evidence behind each claim.
Plan your sustainability projectThe results below cover specific submitted materials.
They help guide development; finished-product suitability depends on the formulation, geometry and intended use.
The DIN-Geprüft biobased-products documentation for EmeraldPlast reports 98% biobased carbon and 99.8% volatile solids for the specified compounds/resin. Its stated testing basis is ASTM D6866:2024.
This is evidence of biobased content for the specified material. It is not a compostability certificate, and 98% biobased carbon does not mean 98% of total product mass.
SGS Taiwan reports 94.5% biodegradation for the submitted starch/PLA compound in a test referencing ISO 14855-1:2012, at 58 ± 2°C.
Applies to the submitted sample under controlled composting conditions. This result alone does not establish complete EN 13432 certification, finished-product compostability, home compostability or degradation in soil or water.
STC records a pass for the listed extractives tests referencing U.S. FDA 21 CFR 176.170, for Bio-based Resin and Thermoplastic Starch.
A test report for the submitted sample and stated conditions. It is not FDA approval of EmeraldPlast or general food-contact clearance for every product, food type, temperature or market.
