Natur-Tec® biobased and compostable plastics are manufactured using patented and/or proprietary technologies and are intended to replace conventional petroleum-based plastics. Natur-Tec® has an exceptionally broad bioplastics portfolio which spans flexible film, foam, rigid injection molded materials and engineered plastics. Natur-Tec® products do not contain any conventional plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polystyrene. Natur-Tec® products are derived from renewable resources, per the ASTM D6866 standard and require far less energy to manufacture and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants compared to conventional plastic materials.
Natur-Tec® biodegradable and compostable finished products, such as bags, cutlery and packaging foam are engineered to be fully compostable and meet all international standards for compostable plastics, such as the US standard ASTM D6400. Natur-Bag compostable bags are certified 100% compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI). Natur-Ware® compostable cutlery is biobased and made from annually renewable, gmo-free, non-food source materials.
Natur-Tec® products and technologies are environmentally-responsible solutions to help both industry and consumers move towards a carbon neutral footprint.
