NEW! 100% compostable plastic
To most people, plastic sounds not sustainable. How can plastic be 100% compostable? Please let us explain.
100% compostable plastic is made from wood pulp, maize starch or sugar beet. This film looks like plastic, but it is made of 100% natural raw materials. The bag can be sealed and gives extra protection against external influences. Of course, it is also allowed to come into contact with food. So a conscious and sustainable choice!
Natureflex™ is made of 100% paper pulp and is 100% compostable. The film serves as a plastic layer and has the same appearance. The film is transparent, strong and shiny, so it can be used for window bags. The barrier properties are better than standard plastic materials and the film is compostable!
Unique properties:
- 100% compostable / 100% bio-based (certified in accordance with European standard EN 13432)
- FSC-certified paper
- Excellent barrier properties against external influences (oxygen, moisture, resistant to oils and fats)
Difference between PLA and NatureFlex™: Both materials are made of 100% natural materials, but NatureFlex™ has had a special treatment and therefore has a high barrier.
