Lactips offers the first water-soluble,
fully biodegradable plastic-free plastic.
Created in 2014 by
Marie-Hélène Gramatikoff,
plastics and business strategy specialist, and
Frédéric Prochazka,
PhD, researcher at Saint-Etienne University,
LACTIPS designs, develops and markets
a groundbreaking water-soluble,
biodegradable plastic-free plastic material
based on milk protein.
Completely industrially applicable on all plastic processes,
the LACTIPS pellet is currently being rolled out
on the market for fully biosourced unit packaging
for detergent products.
This new material is also food contact and edible
and aligned with a sustainable development
for the food processing sector.
LACTIPS plans to set up a 2,500 sq.m plant
in its region in middle term
to rise up its capacity to 3,000 tons a year and beyond.
Located on the MetroTech innovation Park
in St Jean Bonnefonds, Lactips benefits from
its perfect location between Lyon and St Etienne.
It enables Lactips to develop synergies
and strong relationship
with both its business partners and clients.
