A NATURAL IN COMPOUNDS

Plastic Soup is a major public concern
and activists of all kinds rightly protest
against it.

The only
logical

solution...

But does this protest – Even though justifiable
and effectively eye opening – tackle the root of
the problem?

Beologic is a team of proactive innovators,
keen on building a greener world.

More than 10 years ahead of the hype against Plastic Soup, the Beologic team were already

involved in the development and production of bio-based compounds with natural fillers.
Ever since, we have kept on looking for alternative materials, replacing traditional plastics
without sacrificing their unique features.

...is the
beologic

solution

Our ambition to replace plastics by less harmful polymers is driven by our strong

belief in a circular economy with bio-based, bio-degradable and recycled materials
as feedstock. It is a challenging journey in which we progress day by day, step by step.



Let us join forces for a greener world!

Beologic compounds enable you to manufacture a whole range of objects free of ‘traditional’ plastics but still
presenting the unique mechanical characteristics of plastics: elasticity, processing readiness, impact, tensile
strength, Melt Flow Index…
Our compounds are fit for a variety of processing methods such as extrusion, co-extrusion, injection, rotomoul-
ding and 3D printing.

At Beologic, we not only design new compounds, we make them in our factory. The interaction of R&D and
field practice enables us to develop ever more sustainable compounds while realising our mission to work for a
greener world. So far, plastics are inevitable. But we are determined to bring about a substantial improvement,
together with you: our customers and the eco-friendly community.

This systematic approach is also reflected in our website

most suitable compounds for you with the help of our
unique coding system.

The beobase family of compounds offers a total solution for
a new generation of bio-based materials with a matching
look and feel.
beobase compounds are obtained by adding bio-based
fibres to a fossil polymer or by replacing fossil-based
polymers by bio-based ones.

Fillers include wood or other fibrous plant material.

Main characteristics
Traditional WPC formulations based on wood and
standard polymers
Fewer fossil-based raw materials
The bio-component is visible in the final product
Aesthetically nicer than plastics
Higher E-modulus

Typical materials
PE, PP, PVC, PS, ABS, Bio PE

Target processing
Injection
Extrusion
Co-extrusion
Rotomoulding
Other processing on request

Sample applications
Decking, fencing, (design) furniture, cosmetics
packaging, flower pots and planters, toys, building
materials, tableware

The beograde family of compounds includes mainly blends
of fossil and bio-based biodegradable polymers.
We increasingly replace the plastic substrate by a
biodegradable alternative. Adding wood creates a look and a
feel that emphasizes the biodegradable characteristics.

Main characteristics
Biodegradable/compostable

Opaque or transparent
Pure or natural fibre/mineral filled

Food compliance possible
Optional certification
a
Typical materials

PLA, PHA, PHBH, PBAT, PBS

Target processing
Thermoforming sheet extrusion

Injection
Blow moulding

Film extrusion

Sample applications
Bags, food packaging, coffee cups, cosmetics
packaging, bottles, canisters, caps, closures, bins,
trays, technical parts, shrink/stretch films, toys,

cutlery, kitchenware

The beocycle family includes compounds based on recycled
material. In this range we gradually replace prime and vir-
gin feedstock by recycled material, along with recyclable,
non-virgin fillers.

Main characteristics
Based on entirely or partially recycled material
Cost effective
Consistent with the circular economy of the future
Additives can be added to restore mechanical
properties
Typical materials
PE, PP, PVC, PLA, TPE
Target processing
Injection
Extrusion
Rotomoulding
Sample applications
Garbage bins, flower pots and planters

Obviously we cannot do entirely without plastics. Indeed, in some cases the use of plastics does make sense. Therefore
we foster the use of recyclable feedstock aiming at a cradle-to-cradle solution where a product at the end of its lifecycle
constitutes the raw material for a new product.
Recycling is rapidly gaining importance. Bottles, toys, caps, industrial waste, even furniture and other plastic objects are
milled and reused. In parallel, the use of virgin materials is on the decline. The future is mass recycling!

beosmart compounds still contain fossil-based feedstock,
yet they present features that make them more sustainable,
e.g. by reducing the weight or by using eco-friendly additives.

Some examples
Our foam formula makes the final product
lighter but, above all, it requires less material for an

equivalent volume.
In some cases, beosmart compounds

can perfectly replace heavy metals, or provide a
solution when an electrically conductive polymer

is required.
Another application is flexible pvc

featuring phthalate free plasticizers

Typical materials
PVC, PP, PE,

Target processing
Injection
Extrusion

Rotomoulding

Sample applications
WPC boards and profiles, rotomoulded

flower pots, design furniture, automotive parts,
wearables
