 Compost-readyTM products are blends of co-polyester and PLA (GM free) which, depending on the particular grade, can contain up to 100 % natural resource material.
Compost-readyTM does not contain any starch or starch derivatives.
Bioplastics generally replace conventional materials such as LDPE, HDPE, PS and PP. For packaging applications materials need to be converted into film which is as thin as possible while maintaining high tensile strength.
Depending on the specific application, packaging films have to provide a high barrier against humidity, oxygen and aromas or alternatively provide adequate permeability ("breathability").
All of these requirements are met with the various Compost-readyTM grades.
