Thermoplastic starches and bioplastic compounds: renewable materials that work
Starch-based materials for films, compounds and bag applications, built for modern material development
Made from renewable raw materials corn and wheat starch, these solutions bring natural material credentials into practical bioplastic applications. From thin films and flexible compounds to home-compostable bag concepts, they give manufacturers a reliable foundation for bio-based development that holds up in real processing conditions.
Let’s solve your challenge!
Together, we'll identify the right solution for your process, formulation, and labeling needs.
Renewable performance for films and compounds
Starch-based bioplastic development holds up in real processing conditions. Selected grades enable film extrusion below 15 μm on standard equipment and offer bio-based content up to 60%, depending on grade. Compound-optimized grades are based entirely on renewable, non-GMO raw materials. Together, they give manufacturers a strong platform for bio-based product development with compostable positioning and dependable industrial usability.
- High starch incorporation in value-added bioplastic formulations
- Film extrusion below 15 μm on standard equipment
- Different products available with bio-based content up to 60%
- Home-compostable options for responsible material concepts
