About Chestnut Biopolymers

Chestnut Biopolymers are a new generation of bio-based, biodegradable materials designed to meet the growing demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics. Developed to match the performance of commonly used polymers like polypropylene, polyethylene and polystyrene, Chestnut offers all the benefits of durability and strength, with none of the environmental drawbacks.

The standout feature? Chestnut is engineered specifically for injection moulding, meaning it works seamlessly with existing tooling and machines, no retooling, no delays.

This makes Chestnut the ideal solution for plastic moulders and brands looking to switch to more eco-conscious materials without sacrificing product quality, cycle time or compatibility.

Biodegradable

Breaks down naturally in the environment into water, CO₂ and biomass, leaving no persistent microplastics behind.
