Kidlington’s Essentra accelerates trials for bioplastic alternatives ⏱️🥼 Essentra, a Kidlington-based manufacturer of industrial components, is looking to accelerate development of new bioplastic materials to create more sustainable product ranges. The push follows a series of successful trials since the firm opened its new centre of excellence at the start of the year. In the first six months of operation, teams at the Kidlington centre have completed 19 trials of 14 different materials, resulting in 52 individual product samples and nine stock keeping units (SKUs). Essentra is particularly excited about ongoing trials to create flexible, seaweed-derived bioplastics in collaboration with business startup FlexSea. These can in turn be the source of a new range of products, rather than being used to substitute existing raw materials.
