Plant-Based Resin is a natural bio-based plastic, a smarter and much cleaner alternative to standard petroleum-based plastics. The material we use comes from castor bean oil, a highly resilient and renewable plant resource. It creates plastics that are strong, light, and durable while reducing our carbon footprint and ultimately, our impact on the planet.
Our plant-based resin starts on the farm, where training and education takes place to promote sustainable agricultural practices.
Castor beans are harvested and are selected in part due to their inherent drought-resistance and minimal irrigation or fertilisation needs.
The beans are pressed for their oil creating a highly resilient and renewable resource that enables us to reduce our carbon footprint.
The oil undergoes a process called polymerisation where it is transformed into plant-based plastic pellets.
The pellets are melted down and injected into moulds to become your frames. Helping people see a better tomorrow.
