Solegear’s suite of bioplastic materials allows product designers and manufacturers to benefit from using plastics that are energy efficient, non-toxic, compostable and renewably sourced, while meeting today’s growing consumer demands.

Polysole^® is a high-performance bioplastic made from plants, that is designed to be compostable. It is intended for durable applications like children’s toys, personal care products and cases for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, as opposed to less demanding applications like grocery bags. Historically, compostable plastics haven’t been able to match the physical and mechanical properties of today’s petroleum-based plastics. With Polysole, Solegear has set out to change that.
