Montreal, July 27, 2017 - At WCIB, Bosk Bioproducts, a young private company in Quebec, presented a new generation of clean plastic: truly compostable, nontoxic, GMO-free and made from renewable untapped by-product of the pulp and paper industry.
​
From July 23 to 26, 2017, at the Palais des congrès de Montréal, Bosk Bioproducts attended the WCIB, a large-scale congress which brings together more than 1,200 key bio-economy stakeholders from throughout the world. Thanks to the CRIBIQ and the Ministry of the Economy, Science and Innovation (MESI) for making this participation possible. Bosk Bioproducts is proud to have been one of the twenty participants of the "Espace Québec" delegation. This technological showcase, bringing together key-players in the Quebec innovation ecosystem, has fostered high-quality exchanges and proved to be an excellent business opportunity. Moreover, Paul Boudreault, CEO of Bosk Bioproducts, had the privilege to participate as a speaker to the GreenTech Investor Sessions. It was the perfect opportunity for Bosk's official fund raising launch.

Bosk took advantage of his presence to present a new generation of clean plastic. This biopolymer that can substituted conventional plastic is made from renewable untapped by-product of the pulp and paper industry, is nontoxic, GMO-free and is fully compostable. At the end of life, this bioplastic can be thrown into the composting that is done at home, with the residues of gardening and cooking.

Finally, WCIB enabled Bosk to recruit strategic partners for the implementation of its marketing plan. Bosk does not sell plastic, but rather compostable plastic finished products. WCIB facilitated meetings with qualified partners who will participate in the creation of products that meet the real needs of end consumers. The aim of Bosk Bioproducts is to create products that contribute to the daily well-being of consumers and the well-being of future generations.
