Compostable Resin

Biodegradable and compostable resins are materials that can be broken down naturally, reducing their impact on the environment. Biodegradable means that they can be broken down by microorganisms over time, while compostable means that they break down into nutrient-rich compost under certain conditions.

These resins are often used as an alternative to traditional plastics, which can remain in the environment for hundreds of years. Biodegradable and compostable resins are a more sustainable option because they restore natural cycles and contribute to soil health when properly disposed of.

Common compostable materials include

Polylactic acid (PLA)

PLA and PBAT compounds

Starch Based Resin

Typical Applications

Packaging

Food Utensils
