Starch Based Biodegradable Resins
 

Corn Starch

  PLA

MATERIALS

Fully compostable and biodegradable materials some with food contact approval in Europe & USA


These revolutionary new materials are based on a blend of starch, PLA & PVOH and are certified as biodegradable. The materials are also certified for compostability (dependent on material thickness / gauge) to EN:13432 and DIN CERTCO standards.

The materials are highly flexible, have good gas barrier properties and can be used for a wide range of applications

 

 

 

Supplied as a bio-plastic granulate, which is sold to plastic processors for further manufacturing like film blowing, injection moulding or deep drawing. The granulate properties are adjustable, so that it can be processed similar to polyethylene or poly- propylene granulate on the same equipment.

The use of these resins is most suitable  for short-lived consumer durables and food packaging as well as for products in the garden, landscape gardening and agriculture.

Compostable with household compostable waste, to provide nutrients to the soil and closing the cradle to cradle cycle. The resins are processed at reduced temperatures thereby reducing the energy cost of production. A viable alternative to using non biodegradable plastics. When the product made from plant material has fulflled its role, it is composted and releases nutrients back into the soil and repeats the cycle.
