Introduced in 2011, ENVIPLAST® is a pioneer of unique bio-based polymer compounds that was created by Inter Aneka Lestari Kimia and is now under Intera Lestari Polimer, an experienced producer of masterbatch and bio-based polymer compound products. The group’s in-house team of scientists created the eco-friendly ENVIPLAST® range of products in direct response to growing environmental concerns regarding the use of conventional plastic bags and film, and in anticipation of heightened demand for alternatives to products derived from fossil-based resources.
ENVIPLAST®’s bio-based polymer compound is derived from raw materials such as cassava, corn, and other industrial natural starches not allocated for use in the food supply chain, as well as vegetable oil derivatives. As such, the company taps into the abundance of sustainable natural resources available in Indonesia and is readily positioned to offer ENVIPLAST® as an alternative to a possible wide range of applications for plastic.
ENVIPLAST® continues to carry out extensive research and development to provide novel innovations and offer new products that meet the evolving needs of its global customers. Responding to rapid growth in Indonesia’s consumer goods industry, the company recently introduced wrapping film that has the potential to be utilised as packaging for electronic products and groceries due to its distinctive protective properties. ENVIPLAST® currently seeks to collaborate with local and international businesses to discover further lucrative applications for their bio-based polymer compound product.
With increasing global awareness of plastic pollution, Inter Lestari Polimer is the manufacturer of choice for local and international companies seeking to cater to the demands for bioplastic products. As such, ENVIPLAST® is able to provide bio-based compound pellets — to partners wanting to manufacture their own bio-based products — in addition to finished products ranging from shopping bags to garbage and laundry bags amongst many others. Furthermore, this provides future international partners with the potential to utilise their own local resources of cassavas, corn, and other industrial starches to produce bio-based products and, thus, positively impacting local economies in the long-term.

ENVIPLAST® is focused on entering regions where consumers have demonstrated a proclivity for eco-friendly products and are thus targeting cooperation with clients and distributors in developed markets. With new regulations soon to curb the use of plastic bags abroad, foreign companies have reciprocated this interest and ENVIPLAST® has exported its products to a number of key markets around the world; indicative of the global nature of this movement towards green lifestyles.
ENVIPLAST®’s emergence as a leading manufacturer of eco-friendly alternatives to plastic coincides with rising global awareness on the need to limit the use of conventional plastic products. To address concerns related to the negative environmental impact of plastic waste, several countries around the world have already taken steps to implement legislation designed to curb the utilisation of single-use plastic bags. Per a report from the Earth Policy Institute, multiple markets – both those that are developed and those that are developing – currently have in place regulations to either ban or discourage the use of conventional single-use plastic bags. This brings about new opportunities for companies such as ENVIPLAST® to introduce eco-friendly solutions to an international customer base.
From 15th-18th November 2017, ENVIPLAST® participated at the 2017 Plastics & Rubber Indonesia Expo which was held in Jakarta. Attracting more than 12,000 visitors and 500 exhibitors, this international trade show showcased the latest in plastics and rubber technology in addition to providing a platform for participants and visitors to network, and form potential partnerships.
