At that time in the United States the inclusion of specimens under transparent plastic material is developing. The purpose of this new technique is primarily educational: to make all the plant and animal world accessible to everybody.

He returned to France and opened his laboratory in 1953: “La Société Bioplastique” (The Bioplastic Society). It establishes a first catalog of 150 pieces approved by the l’Éducation Nationale (National Education). Recognition of his work in encouraged him to explore the artistic possibilities offered by this still fledgling technique.

His company Bioplastique officially ended business in 2002. Pierre Giraudon died on September 25, 2012. he was 89 years old.
