Cereplast to Supply Bioplastics to Absorbent Specialty Products

HAWTHORNE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cereplast, Inc. (OTCBB:CERP), a leading manufacturer of proprietary bio-based, sustainable plastics, today announced that it will supply Absorbent Specialty Products with bioplastic resin for its new “Bio-Bones” Bone Replacement Prosthetics.

Absorbent Specialty Products specializes in designing solutions to fill a need in the organ and tissue bank community. When an organ and tissue donor has donated their bones, it is essential that the donor be reconstructed to as close to original state as possible so that a viewing can take place.

“We’re very pleased that Absorbent Specialty Products selected our Compostables® resin for its Bio-bones product line,” said Frederic Scheer, Chairman and CEO of Cereplast. “It is encouraging to see more and more manufacturers developing and manufacturing products using sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based plastic products.”

“We selected the Cereplast resin because of its natural ability to burn clean and turn to ash during cremation, as opposed to melting and emitting toxic fumes, as well as its strength and durability,” said Carol Dancer, President of Absorbent Specialty Products. “There are other products on the market for bone reconstruction, but Cereplast provided our company with a complete solution.”
