Starch based biodegradable & compostable resin is based on a blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS), biodegradable polyesters and natural plasticizers. This grade of resin is compatibilised to offer a high level of mechanical strength, impact resistance and toughness. The biodegradable plastic from starch is based on corn starch which is a renewable materials. A fully biodegradable plastic from starch Designed to be used for film blowing. The resin can be fully and safely composted at home. Complies with European Standard EN13432, USA Standard ASTM D6400. Australian Standard AS4736, AS5810. The unique advantage of our HW-01 is the low density of only 1.09.
Biodegradability
Biodegradable plastic from starch are biodegradable, meaning they can be broken down by microorganisms in the environment, including bacteria, fungi and algae. This is in contrast to traditional petroleum-based plastics, which can survive in the environment for hundreds of years. The biodegradability of starch bioplastics means they have the potential to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment and prevent harm to wildlife.
Renewable resource
Starch, the raw material for bioplastics, is a renewable resource that can be grown and harvested every year. This is in contrast to petroleum-based plastics, which come from non-renewable fossil fuels. Using renewable resources reduces dependence on finite resources and helps promote a more sustainable economy.
Lower carbon footprint
Biodegradable plastic from starchhave a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional plastics. The production of conventional plastics requires the extraction of fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gases and contributes to climate change. In contrast, producing starch bioplastics requires less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases. This means starch bioplastics have the potential to help mitigate climate change.
Versatility
Starch bioplastics can be used in a variety of applications, including packaging, food service, and agriculture. This versatility makes it a useful alternative to traditional plastics in many different industries. Additionally, the properties of starch bioplastics can be customized to meet the specific needs of each application.
Biocompatibility
Starch bioplastics are biocompatible, which means they do not harm living tissue.

Packaging: One of the most common applications for bioplastics made from starch is packaging. Bioplastics can be used to make a variety of packaging materials, including film, wrapping paper, bags and containers.
Foodservice supplies: Another common application for starch-based bioplastics is the production of foodservice supplies. These include plates, cups, cutlery and other disposable items used in restaurants and catering businesses. Bioplastics made from starch are a suitable alternative to traditional plastic and paper products.
Agriculture: Bioplastics made from starch can also be used in agriculture, where they can be used to make mulch films. These mulches can be applied to the soil, helping to reduce soil erosion and promote crop growth.
