In Saint-Etienne, Lactips employs around fifty people and plans to produce 10,000 tonnes by 2025, thanks to a new 2,500 m2 production site in the Gier valley. Objective ? Produce a completely biodegradable natural polymer in the marine environment: 100% natural ingredients without chemicals. Until then, the company only produced 450 tonnes on one line, the other two being devoted to product development. Now, six lines are dedicated to production. Lactips' bioplastic has already found a customer, BASF, who has been interested since its creation, and who uses it to package its tablets for dishwashing or laundry.
