ECO+ (Biodegradable Products)
If you want a compostable / biodegradable option we can offer a PLA based extrudate that meets both the EN13432 and ASTM 6400 compostable standards. The polymer offers unique hot tack and sealing properties to itself or other PLA films. For example, complete biodegradable options are coated or laminate paper/boards using this polymer. A truly ‘green’ option
Alternatively, if retaining all the polyethylene properties is preferred, but require a rapid degrading option that potentially could also be consumed by micro-organisms, we can offer the oxo-biodegradeable versions. Using the latest oxo-degradable technology, we can achieve a product that retains its normal functionality (barrier or sealable). However towards the end of its accepted shelf life (or when exposed to initiators in landfill), it will be susceptible to elements such as UV or heat. This will initiate the oxo-degradation process which will rapidly degrade the polymer.
