Bioplastics

Properties and advantages of bioplastics

1. Resource conservation and sustainability
Bioplastics utilize renewable raw materials or by-products from the agricultural and food industries. This reduces the use of petroleum-based plastics and improves the CO₂ balance.

2. Good mechanical and thermal properties
Depending on their composition, modern bio-based compounds achieve high stiffness, dimensional stability and surface quality and are suitable for functional components.

3. Industrially processable
The materials can be used in existing production processes, including for:

• Injection molding

• Extrusion

• Thermoforming

In many cases, no or only minimal adjustments to machines and tools are required.

4. Energy and process efficiency
Lower processing temperatures and good flow properties can reduce energy consumption and cycle times.

5. Variety of options
Bioplastics are available in different versions:

• durable and recyclable

• biodegradable

• Home or industrial compostable

• fiber-reinforced or mineral-modified
  
  

Typical areas of application

• Packaging and disposable products

• Consumer goods and household items

• Technical injection molded parts

• Garden and agricultural products (e.g. plant pots)

• Housings, molded parts and functional components

• Products with a focus on circular economy and environmental certification

Environmental and circular economy aspects

Depending on the material design, bioplastics can support:

• Circular economy through recyclability

• Biodegradation under defined conditions

• Composting in industrial or private settings

• Reduction of plastic waste and microplastics

Certifications according to common environmental and organic standards are possible for many qualities.

Compostable and biodegradable bioplastic granules

Our bioplastics are extremely versatile and perfectly suited for various applications, including injection molding and thermoforming. They are a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) . Nozzles are not only 100% recyclable but also designed for optimal processing, reducing cycle times and costs.

The granules are not only biodegradable , but also compostable under normal composting conditions (certified by TÜV Austria).

Another advantage of our materials is their lower specific density compared to conventional materials, resulting in up to 20% less mass. Furthermore, we have opted for TÜV Austria certification to demonstrate the quality and sustainability of our products.

If you are looking for environmentally friendly materials that save energy and minimize environmental impact, our materials are the perfect solution. We also offer a wide range of certified colors to meet your requirements.

We are happy to support you with the certification of your products and are available for further information and inquiries. Choose sustainable materials, choose an environmentally friendly future.

Product examples for bioplastics include:

1. Plantable plant pot : These plant pots allow for easy and sustainable planting. You can plant the pot along with the plant, ensuring a smooth transition for the plant. These plant pots have already been tested by various nurseries and are suitable for machine processing.

2. Biodegradable labels : These biodegradable and compostable labels can be safely placed in the soil next to your plants. They are available in various sizes and shapes and can be custom printed. Choose sustainable labeling for your plants.

3. Biodegradable plant trays : These trays are an environmentally friendly solution for growing plants. They can be made using existing tools and disappear without a trace after use, as they biodegrade or can be recycled. We offer various sizes and styles to meet your needs.

4. Reusable cups for coffee, tea, smoothies, and other beverages: Discover our high-quality reusable cups, perfect for coffee, drinks, and much more. These reusable cups offer a sustainable alternative to disposable cups, helping to reduce waste and protect the environment. Our reusable cups are durable and available in various sizes and designs to meet the needs of all coffee lovers and beverage enthusiasts. They are made from environmentally friendly materials and are easy to clean, so you can use them again and again.

5. Home-compostable coffee capsules: Enjoy your coffee and do something good for the environment at the same time with our home-compostable coffee capsules. The capsules are specially designed for Nespresso systems and offer an environmentally friendly solution for transforming valuable coffee grounds into compost without leaving behind any plastic waste. The entire system, from the capsule to the sealing film, is proudly certified by TÜV Austria with the OK-Compost-Home seal. This means you can confidently dispose of your coffee capsules in your own compost heap, where they will transform into valuable nutrients for the soil.

(Alternatively, the ground sunflower hulls can also be used as an additive to conventional plastics as a natural fiber material. Sunflower fibers have a lower specific density than mineral fillers or glass fibers – up to 20% less mass is possible! Product examples include handles, injection-molded parts, coat hooks, and insert molding components.)
