A Sustainable Alternative
Established in 2005, lndochine Bio Plastiques (ICBP) Sdn Bhd located in Johor, Malaysia, manufactures
biodegradable, biobased and compostable plastic resin from non-food based tapioca starch. ICBP
commenced an extensive R&D phase since 2001, thus becoming the leading manufacturer for biobased
raw materials in Malaysia. The main focus of ICBP is developing innovative solutions for bioplastics to
promote global sustainability at a cost efficient level to plastic converters.

ICBP Bio Resin from Tapioca Starch
Traditional plastics are currently made from petroleum resin, a non-renewable resource. ICBP vision is to
develop an eco-friendly bio resin, an alternative biopolymer using non-food based tapioca starch to
create bio plastics.
Why ICBP Bio Resin?
a) A Sustainable Alternative
ICBP Bio Resin utilizes non-food based tapioca starch, which is abundant in supply globally and stable in price. ICBP
upcycles second generation feedstock of tapioca into renewable bio resin.
b) Cost efficient & improving carbon footprint
Viewed as a cost efficient way to produce bioplastic products, manufacturers using ICBP Bio Resin consume
approximately 50% less energy due to low temperatures used during production. ICBP Bio Resin also lowers the
carbon footprint of the end product as the feedstock carbon footprint starts at zero.
c) Versatile & safe
Unlike other biopolymers, ICBP Bio Resin can easily be compounded and processed with existing plastic injection
machineries with no modification required. It has similar strength characteristics as conventional plastic, non-toxic and
safe for food contact applications (US FDA certified).
