Hydro-biodegradable bags

Starch is a renewable raw material that is almost carbon-neutral in its life cycle. Plastics based on corn starch biodegrade completely within 180 days from its disposal in industrial or municipal compost facilities. We use biofilm to produce all types of environmentally friendly carrier bags as well as bin bags and some types of industrial bags. These products meet the requirements of EN 13432. Due to greater tensile strength of corn starch biofilm compared to LDPE film, the bags can be thinner and thus environmentally friendlier and economically affordable. Further advantages include enhanced mechanical, sealing and barrier properties and facilitated printing.

Characteristics:

• CO2 neutral
• renewable raw material
• biodegradable within 180 days in compost facilities
• anti-block effect
• excellent sealing properties
• good barrier properties
• facilitated printing
• 8 colour flexo-print
• consistent quality control
• guaranteed traceability
