Biodegradable Compounds

The Compovate range offers solutions with biobased fillers, and we also have experience in processing and manufacturing a wide variety of bioplastics. Bioplastics can be derived from renewable raw materials, but they may also be plastics made from petrochemicals with biodegradable additives that enhance biodegradation.

Compovate biodegradable compounds

We have experience with a range of bioplastics including PLA, PBAT, and PHB. These biodegradable compounds offer an alternative to conventional plastics and help prevent microplastics from ending up in the environment. Under specific conditions, biodegradable plastics are broken down by microorganisms into water, carbon dioxide (or methane), and biomass.

Applications of biodegradable compounds

Our biodegradable compounds are suitable for a variety of processing methods, including foaming into packing materials, extrusion, and injection moulding with modified conventional machines. This makes them an ideal solution for a wide range of single use or short-term applications, such as organic waste collection, agriculture and horticulture (for example, mulch films and plant pots), food packaging, and disposable tableware.
