About Us
Biocomposites from apricot kernel shells
Mapla transforms apricot kernel shells — an agricultural waste stream — into high-value biocomposite materials. Our products are 100% bio-based, compostable polymer resin compounds engineered for flexible films, rigid injection-molded parts, engineering plastics, thermoforming and profile-extrusion applications.
Our R&D team's research that began at the University of British Columbia, Canada returned to Turkey in 2022 with our incorporation at Malatya İnönü University Technopark. Today we scale up from our Malatya Technopark and İŞGEM OIZ sites toward the European market.

Sustainability & Regulation
From environmental impact to economic value
Biocomposites are a key step toward environmental, economic and regulatory sustainability — offering a safe transition path under EU regulations such as CSRD and PPWR.
Reduced Carbon Emissions
Compared with conventional plastic, our process significantly reduces carbon emissions.
Biodegradable
Our products break down in nature, preventing persistent plastic waste.
Circular Economy
Turning agricultural waste into value contributes directly to waste management.
CSRD & PPWR Compliance
A safe economic and legal hedge against the EU's CSRD and Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
