Biodegradable Plastic Manufacturer

At Biopakwell, we are passionate about creating a better future through innovative biodegradable solutions. Driven by our independent research and development, we deliver highly reliable and consistently high-quality bioplastics that are not only effective but also kinder to our planet. Our commitment lies in offering sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics, thereby assisting businesses and consumers in reducing their environmental impact.

What are Biodegradable Plastics?

Biodegradable plastics are designed to decompose naturally by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, unlike traditional plastics that persist for centuries. Often made from renewable resources like corn starch or plant cellulose, they offer a sustainable alternative.

Biodegradation works by microorganisms breaking down the plastic’s polymer chains into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass under specific conditions like moisture, oxygen, and temperature, typically found in composting environments.

What We Offer

Biodegradable Plastic Technology

At Biopakwell, we leverage the inherent potential of starch-based plastics as the foundation of our resin polymers. Our innovative process begins with:

The Sustainable Advantages of Switching to Our Bioplastics

• Reduced Reliance on Fossil Fuels: By utilizing renewable resources like starch, we significantly lessen our dependence on finite fossil fuels, contributing to a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.
• Lower Carbon Footprint: Bioplastics, especially those based on plant-derived materials, can have a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional plastics. The plants absorb CO2 during growth, and the biodegradation process can release less greenhouse gases than the incineration of fossil fuel-based plastics.
• Sustainable Waste Disposal: Our biodegradable and compostable resins offer a genuine solution for organic waste diversion. By enabling composting, we can transform discarded packaging into valuable compost, enriching soil and reducing landfill burden. This creates a more circular system, turning waste into a resource.

Why Choose Our Biodegradable Plastics?

What are Our Biodegradable Plastics Used For?

Our biodegradable plastic compounds are primarily designed for the production of biodegradable packaging film using blown film machinery. The film is then transformed by bag making machines into various packaging solutions, including:

• Trash bags & bin liners
• Grocery bags & retail bags
• Die-cut handle bags
• Mailing bags & e-commerce packaging
• Resealable bags & food packaging film
• Stretch film & shrink film

FAQs

What is the lifespan of biodegradable plastic?

Biodegradable plastic usually takes 3-6 months to decompose. Biodegradation processes are triggered under specific composting conditions (domestic or industrial), and their degradation times will vary depending on factors such as the composting environment and product thickness.

What’s the shelf life of your compostable raw material?

Half a year.

Do your biodegradable plastics break down in landfill?

While our plastics are biodegradable and compostable under specific conditions, landfills are not typically optimized for biodegradation. Landfills often lack sufficient oxygen, moisture, and microbial activity for efficient biodegradation to occur.

Therefore, while our plastics are designed to break down in composting environments, biodegradation in a landfill environment would be significantly slower and less effective. The ideal end-of-life scenario for our products is composting, not landfill disposal.

Are biodegradable plastics better for the environment than other plastics?

Yes, in many ways. Biodegradable plastics offer significant environmental advantages compared to traditional plastics:

• Renewable Resources: They are made from renewable resources, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
• Reduced Carbon Footprint: Plant-based bioplastics can have a lower carbon footprint.
• Compostability: Biodegradable and compostable options offer a viable end-of-life solution for organic waste diversion, reducing landfill waste and potentially creating valuable compost.
• Reduced Persistence: They are designed to break down in specific environments, minimizing long-term plastic accumulation in the environment (compared to conventional plastics that can persist for hundreds of years).
