The  raw material with the versatility and strength of traditional plastic but without the negative environmental impact?

So were we. When we couldn’t find what we were looking for, we developed it ourselves and Green Dot Bioplastics was born.

Located in the heart of the scenic Kansas Flint Hills, we founded Green Dot Bioplastics in 2011 with a mission to create a new generation of plastics.

Our mission

Green Dot’s mission is to advance the unique characteristics of bioplastics to help designers and manufacturers create inspired products that empower consumers to contribute to a more sustainable world. In everything we do, we strive to minimize the use of petroleum-based chemicals, maximize the use of renewable materials, increase the value of reclaimed and recycled materials, and enhance the performance of biodegradable materials.

Green Dot’s mission

Green Dot is committed to improving our environment through material advances. We believe that through the research, invention and creation of renewable, biobased resins, we can make actual improvements in peoples’ lives by putting less stress on the planet. Through a variety of properties— recyclability, compostability, sustainability- we believe we can make plastics a part of the solution, not the problem.

Green Dot Bioplastics Inc is a bioscience social enterprise headquartered in Emporia, Kansas. We’re a full-service bioplastics company dedicated to delivering the very best of sustainable materials to our customers. That’s the thinking behind our Terratek® line of bioplastics, developed to meet growing demand for biobased and compostable materials with fewer of the drawbacks associated with traditional plastics.

We’re also committed to unrivaled customer focus. From our Production Development Lab to our expert plastics technicians, we help companies make innovative, sustainable products that consumers are proud to purchase.

And we’re happy to say that good work doesn’t go unnoticed. We were proud to be named by Bloomberg Business Week as one of the Top 25 Social Entrepreneurs in America for 2012. We were also honored to have our pioneering compostable elastomer named as a finalist for the International Bioplastics Award.

Green Dot is committed to providing sustainable materials of uncompromising quality in order to make contributing to a greener world just a little bit easier.
