Cereplast, Inc. has opened a corporate office in Hyderabad, capital of the Indian state Andhra Pradesh, to service its partners in South Asia. The new office will provide a direct pipeline between its South Asian partners and Cereplast’s US headquarters to streamline communication between all parties.

Cereplast, Inc. designs and manufactures proprietary biobased, sustainable bioplastics which are used as substitutes for traditional plastics in all major converting processes - such as injection moulding, thermoforming, blow moulding and extrusions - at a pricing structure that is competitive with traditional plastics.
