HAWTHORNE, Calif., Sep 29, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cereplast, Inc. (OTCBB: CERP), a leading manufacturer of proprietary bio-based, sustainable plastics, today announced that the Brazilian market, which numbers approximately 200M consumers, continues to grow for the Company's Cereplast Compostables(R) resins. Bunge Alimentos, a Brazilian subsidiary of Bunge, Ltd (NYSE:BG), a US $49.5B agri-business and food company with 25,000 employees in over 30 countries, is expanding nationwide with the Cyclus(R) line of containers made from Cereplast Compostables(R). In June, 2009 Bunge Alimentos received the Embanews Award for the "Best renewable and biodegradable packaging." The thermo-formed packaging used for the Cyclus margarine tub is based 100% on Cereplast Compostables resins. The Cereplast Brazilian distributor, IraPlast-Krest, is also expanding their brand of "Mr. Green" items, utilizing Cereplast Compostables resins. "After several months of testing in the States of Parana and Santa Catharina, Bunge Alimentos is expanding their Cyclus line to all Brazilian States," commented Mr. Frederic Scheer, Founder and CEO of Cereplast, Inc. "This is an extremely exciting development for all the participants: Iraplast-Krest, Cereplast distributor in Brazil, Poly-Vac who is thermo-forming the tub, and Bunge Alimentos, the largest food company in Brazil. Having our products accepted by a company as large and far-reaching as Bunge is truly a milestone for our Company." Philippe Ravera, Vice-President Sales and Marketing for Cereplast, stated, "We are very encouraged to see that the Brazilian market understands the importance of sustainability and the benefits of our proprietary bio-resins. However, while encouraged, we are not really surprised by the support Cereplast is receiving from the Brazilian market. Brazil is known for being one of the most sensitive markets for environmentally sound products." The "Mr. Green" line of products was developed by Iraplast-Krest in Sao Paulo, Brazil and includes cutlery, plates, cups and carry-out bags all made of Cereplast Compostables(R) resin. The line was formally introduced early summer and is starting to pick up momentum with increased usage of the products. To learn more about Mr. Green please visit: www.mistergreen.com.br.
