MCG BioComposites has introduced the first plastic material that makes use of corn flour as a filler material.  Their LLDPE rotational molding grade is produced using 20% corn cob flour. It is the first of a series of products intended to make use of the abundant biomass that is generated from the nation’s heartland. All of MCG’s bio composites are recyclable and will meet initial requirements of “Green” initiative and sustainability programs.

These materials exhibit some improvements in rigidity and in processing while in many cases reduce the overall cost of the finished part. They also allow OEM’s to possibly produce a USDA Certified Biobased Product and pursue “Biobased Markets Program” which stems from the 2008 Farm Bill.

MCG plans to develop PE and HDPE materials with 20% corn cob flour as well.
