Mass Manufacturing of Injection Molded Articles from Certified Plant-Based Biopolymers
Injection Molding - An elegant yet simple manufacturing process
At beyondGREEN biotech, we manufacture all injection molded parts using our blends of plant-based biopolymers. If you have a need for high volume, intricate parts, you have come to the right place. The manufacturing industry has provided businesses with the tools to create plastic articles for decades, we have now taken the manufacturing industry to the next level!
beyondGREEN biotech, Inc. has spent countless years on research and development creating plant-based resin and a manufacturing method to convert that resin into operational products. The best part is, with manufacturing done in Southern California and control on the biopolymer supply, beyondGREEN is able to provide it's clients with a price comparable to that of off-shore plastic manufacturing.
Specializing in close-tolerance injection molding of small certified home and industrial plant-based parts, we provide a total concept solution from design and tooling to production, fulfillment, and packaging. The combined effort of our designers and toolmakers results in molds that ensure quality, precision tolerances, and optimized cycle times. We have the capacity to mold parts with complex geometries and variations in wall thickness. Our core competencies have centered on small, high volume custom biopolymer components.

Tooling Details for Injection Molding Projects
Rapid Tooling
Molds with steel cavity and core with a shot life of 5,000 - 10,000 shots typically machined in 2 weeks.
Production Tooling
P20 or equivalent steel tool with shot life up to 1M shots.
Ability to integrate side-pulls or cam actions.
Typically machined in 3 weeks.
Multi-Cavity or Family Molds
Multiple identical cavities of family of parts machined into a single tool.
Allows for more parts to be produced per shot, minimizing unit costs.
Insert Molding
Inserts are placed into the mold and molding occurs around them to extend tool life for critical features.
Allows for inserts such as helicoils to be molded in your design.
Over Molding
Pre-made parts are placed into the mold and are molded over.
Allows for multi-material injection molding.
Injection Molding Polymer Details & Post-Processing Options
At beyondGREEN biotech, Inc. we refer to Injection Molding as Injection BioMolding because we specialize in manufacturing products from a wide range of biopolymers. Not only are we able to source biopolymers from some of the Industry's largest polymer manufacturers but we also excel in polymer blending in-house so that you can get the feel and look of your products with the environmental benefits exactly how you like. In addition to sourcing biopolymers, we are also able to manufacturer using recycled plastics and ocean plastic for products which require a longer life-span.
Some of the common polymer we use include:
- Certified Home Compostable Biopolymers (beyondGREEN Blends Only)
- High-Heat Resistant Biopolymers
- PLA (Industrial Compostable Only)
- Re-Granulated Polymers (Industrial Compostable Only)
- Recycled Ocean Plastics
- Recycled Plastics
Additives and Fibers
