Meridian Products Corporation adheres to stringent quality control measures, ensuring compliance with industry standards. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification underscores our commitment to excellence and reliability in every product we manufacture.

As processes continue to develop to streamline manufacturing, the cost of using bioresins is in approximately the same range as when using traditional plastics.

We provide precision molding with tight tolerance levels and a variety of customization options to meet specific client requirements. Our capabilities ensure consistent and high-quality production.

Biodegradable resins excel in single-use disposable products such as utensils, straws, bags, and food containers. Their rapid decomposition is particularly beneficial in these applications, crucial for waste reduction. Biodegradable plastic injection molding is particularly suited to the food industry and consumer products.

While biodegradable injection molding resin will never completely eliminate the problem of plastic waste (since they are not suitable for all product applications), they are useful and important in reducing pollution and waste in some instances. Petroleum-based plastic production by some estimates costs the world economy $75 billion each year in natural capital, so anything to mitigate that cost is an important factor.

This new bioplastic will power the company's first-ever Seaweed Utensil Set and be manufactured on standard plastics injection-moulding equipment.“We're thrilled to launch our second regenerative, compostable resin”, said Loliware founder and CEO Sea F. Briganti. “It unlocks hundreds, if not thousands, of new products to replace single-use plastics at scale using the industry's existing equipment.”These new products will easily fill a market gap created by the UK’s recent ban on single-use utensils, in addition to the ban on single-use plastics under the EU Plastics Directive. These new utensils represent Loliware's formal launch into the European and UK markets, meaning their products will be widely available for businesses to purchase or license.At the event, Loliware also introduced its newest advisory board member Jeff Wooster, the former Global Sustainability Director at Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics, and offered demonstrations of the new products. Company officials also met with potential distribution partners for the company's new line of Seaweed Utensil Sets, as well as its popular Seaweed Straws in all sizes – standard, jumbo, boba, and cocktail. “Creating a seaweed resin that was compatible with injection moulding machinery proved to be a challenging task, as seaweed has unique properties and stringent performance requirements had to be met for the resulting parts”, said Loliware Chief Technology Officer Victoria Piunova in her address at the materials industry's premier annual event. “Loliware's utensils function similarly to their plastic counterparts but, by composting naturally, are literally Designed to Disappear®”.Founded in 2016, Loliware is a leader among a growing number of regenerative businesses focusing on materials that support a stronger ecosystem. Loliware's seaweed-derived resins are fully compatible with existing manufacturing plastic extruding equipment, providing a unique, cost-effective way to replace single-use plastics at scale. The seaweed can be processed into Loliware's materials at local facilities and made into a wide array of products which compost easily and enrich the soil. Utensils and injection moulding resins are ready for pre-order. ATwww.loliware.com

At the recent 2023 Rethinking Materials Innovation and Investment Summit, Loliware (San Jose, CA, USA), North America's fastest-growing seaweed materials company, announced the launch of its newest seaweed resin for injection moulding.

Various resins suitable for biodegradable injection molding are available, including PLA (Polylactic acid) and PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate), primarily compostable and derived from renewable plant sources like corn.
