The company known as Natural Polymer International Corp., or NPIC for short, was founded in 1996.  Our incarnation was as a biodegradable company that focused on the useable application of a vegetable protein as an alternative to plastic and stryofoam based products. Two years later, in 1998, we firt developed the N-Bone® line of long-lasting edible and digestible chew bones and treats in a response to the lack of safe and long-lasting chew bones and treats. Since then, we have used our patented biodegradable technology to further develop safe and biodegradable chew bones and treats.
