Floreon is pleased to have signed a license agreement with one of the world’s leading suppliers of black masterbatch, Hubron (International). As a licensed compounding partner in the UK, Hubron has access to Floreon’s high-performance, durable, and flame retardant bioplastic materials, as well as compostable grades for horticulture and food packaging.
