Nursery pots
A practical product concept for horticulture, nursery production and early material validation.
Bioplastic
from nature
for nature
PolyDust is developing a new generation of bio-based composite materials for practical applications in horticulture and agriculture. Designed for conventional processing methods such as injection moulding, extrusion and thermoforming, our material is currently being validated for processing stability, mechanical performance and soil-contact applications.
Applications
Initial product directions.
PolyDust is currently focused on practical horticultural and agricultural product concepts that allow partners to evaluate processing behaviour, mechanical performance and real-world soil-contact use before moving into more technically demanding applications such as films.
Seedling trays
A potential application for propagation systems, seedling production and controlled growing environments.
Soil pins
A simple injection-moulded product concept for fastening mats, covers and selected horticultural elements.
Plant labels
A simple product format for plant identification, processing trials and soil-contact validation.
Future extrusion products
A longer-term development direction for profiles, strips and application-specific extrusion formats.
Technology
Designed for real-world processing.
PolyDust is developed around practical manufacturability, measurable performance and application-specific validation for selected horticultural and agricultural products.
Bio-based TPS composite
Based on renewable and natural components, developed for selected technical and soil-contact products.
Conventional processing
Prepared for existing industrial methods including injection moulding, extrusion and thermoforming.
Soil-contact applications
Targeted at products where use conditions, soil interaction and end-of-life behaviour must be considered together.
Technical status
Validation roadmap.
PolyDust is currently under validation: promising, tangible and testable, with claims developed around measured data, pilot trials and application-specific performance.

Why PolyDust?
A practical material concept for soil-contact products.
PolyDust focuses on bio-based composite materials for selected horticultural and agricultural applications where conventional plastic collection and recycling can be difficult. The material is designed for practical processing methods while its performance and soil-contact behaviour are being validated through further testing.
Bio-based direction
Developed around renewable and natural components for selected technical product applications.
Practical processing
Designed for conventional methods such as injection moulding, extrusion and thermoforming.
Soil-contact focus
Intended for horticultural and agricultural products where soil-contact use is relevant.
Validation-first
The development process focuses on measurable performance, testing and application-specific data.
Partner-ready
Suitable for discussion with manufacturers, converters and horticulture partners during pilot trials.
Pilot collaboration
Seeking industrial partners for practical validation.
PolyDust is looking for manufacturers, converters and horticulture partners to validate processing, product performance and real-world soil-contact use.
