BIOMATERIALS AND THEIR PROPERTIES
Biomaterials
Solutions for real production conditions
Our portfolio includes biopolymers and bioplastics in granulate form designed for B2B production – from processability and mechanical properties to the required end-of-life pathway.
Thermal and mechanical resistance
Selected blends offer high thermal and mechanical resistance, while properties can be adapted from rigid applications to more flexible solutions according to the project type.
Implementation into production
The portfolio covers injection moulding, extrusion, film blowing, thermoforming and other technologies. For selected types, simpler implementation without demanding production interventions is possible.
Compostability and functional end of life
Depending on the material type, industrial or home compostability, biodegradation in soil or water, or mechanical recycling is available.
European origin and technical consistency
We cooperate with European partners and materials with a focus on supply reliability, consistent quality and technical support during testing.
TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
Quick technical overview of our materials
The final selection of bioplastic or biomaterial pellets always depends on the application, technology, thermal load and required end-of-life pathway.

Frequently asked questions
Not always. Drop-in Bio-PP, Bio-PE and Bio-PET are designed to work on standard technologies similarly to fossil equivalents. For compostable blends, implementation depends on the specific material type, product and process conditions.
A biopolymer is a polymer of biological origin. Bioplastic is a broader term – it can be bio-based, biodegradable or both. Therefore, it is always important to distinguish the material origin, properties and end-of-life pathway.
BP blends are designed for projects where compostability or another specific end-of-life pathway is decisive. Drop-in Bio-PP, Bio-PE and Bio-PET are bio-based materials chemically close to their fossil equivalents and are recycled in existing streams according to polymer type.
Yes, for selected materials. However, suitability always depends on the specific application, product thickness, thermal load and operating conditions.
PCR materials help increase the share of recycled content in products while supporting communication of circularity, traceability and more responsible material sourcing.
In addition to materials, we also focus on biostimulants and biofertilizers for agriculture. This is a separate line focused on supporting soil, plants and reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers.
It depends on the product, technology, target market, required properties, price and whether you are looking for a bioplastic, bio-based plastic, PCR granulate or compostable material for a specific application. That is why we first evaluate the application for each project and only then recommend a specific material.
