Two materials, PLA and PBAT, built into bags that do the job and then break down.
What our bags are made of
PLA
Polylactic acid
Made from fermented plant sugars, such as corn or sugarcane. It adds stiffness and strength, and its
carbon comes from plants, not oil.
PBAT
Polybutylene adipate terephthalate
A soft, flexible compostable polymer. It adds stretch and tear resistance. No BS: today it is mostly made
from fossil feedstock. It composts, but it isn’t plant-based.
PLA strength+PBAT flexibility=Film that feels like plastic, then composts
The numbers
Home and industrial composting
Compostable means complete breakdown within defined timeframes under
set conditions, with limits on heavy metals and no harm to plant growth (EN 13432, ASTM D6400, TÜV OK
compost).
Home composting
180 days
Ambient 20–30 °C
Industrial composting
6–12 weeks
55–60 °C, high humidity
Standards typically require about 90% disintegration within 180 days for home-certified
plastics. Our products meet TÜV OK compost HOME and industrial standards (ASTM D6400, EN 13432) where
labeled.
Lifecycle impact vs conventional plastics
Life-cycle analyses show plant-based polymers emit far less greenhouse
gas than oil-based plastics.
PLA production
~0.5 t
CO₂ per tonne of polymer
Conventional plastics
~3.5 t
CO₂ per tonne of polymer
PLA takes in CO₂ as the plants grow (sugarcane, corn) and returns it when composted, closing
the carbon loop and avoiding crude-oil feedstock.
Other environmental benefits
Water and energy
Lower
The Luminy® PLA life-cycle analysis reported a lower water
footprint than PET and reduced overall energy use.
Landfill and air
Less methane
Diverting waste from landfills and incinerators avoids methane
emissions and toxic air pollutants.
Altogether, compostable solutions often use less non-renewable energy and leave non-toxic,
usable compost instead of long-lasting waste.
Proof, not promises.
Independent testing is how a green claim becomes a fact.
