Toys
GDH-B1 used in 'Scented Scoops'
BeginAgain Toy's Scented Scoops encourages imaginative play with stackable 'ice cream' scoops made with Green Dot's GDH-B1 bio-resin. The Scented Scoops toy comes with three 'flavors' chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.
BeginAgain chose to use GDH-B1 because not only was it renewable, safe and compostable, but also because the corn starch based material is easily scented. Chris Clemmer states in BeginAgain's press release, "this corn starch bio-resin is the most innovative eco-material we've ever had our hands on."
The toy has received praise and accolades from a variety of sources, and most recently, was featured on Yahoo as one of the 10 best eco-friendly toys hitting the shelves in 2012.

Le Mans Racing
Green Dot is a proud sponsor of Greaves Motorsport
Why would a bioplastics company sponsor a race car?
Greaves Motorsports promotes innovation, competing in the LM P2 protype class in the Le Mans World Endurance Championship, and because one of the company's founders, Christian Zugel, is a driver for the team.
We're all looking forward to an exciting and successful season in 2012.
NSF Testing
ASTM tested safe
GDH-B1 was tested at NSF International for Children's Product Safety Testing. The material underwent testing for hazardous metals including lead and cadmium, phthalates and BPA. GDH-B1 passed each of these tests and is in compliance with standards for the United States of America, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
iPhone Cover
The world's first bio-based, soft plastic phone cover.
Now there's a better way to protect your phone. Green Dot is pleased to announce the launch of our first consumer product - a case for the iPhone® 4 and 4S. The case is manufactured in the U.S. using our GDH-B1 compostable bio-resin. This pioneering material is the first bio-based soft plastic, tested to comply with U.S. and E.U. standards for compostability. So, not only is the case made from sustainable materials, but is also designed to be returned to nature after its useful life has ended.
The Green Dot case is now available in REI retail stores and online.
New Applications
films, lamination and extrusion
GDH-B1 is ideal for producing bio-based films, laminations and extrusion
Green Dot continues to expand the applications for our GDH-B1 bio-resin. We've processed film in a wide range of thicknesses and we've used our bio-resin to laminate a variety of different materials. In additional trials we've found excellent results with extrusion, creating flexible soft tubing using GDH-B1. These trials open up a broad range of new markets from food packaging to agricltural production.
