MATER-BI: Biodegradable Copolyester

Biodegradable and compostable bioplastics. MATER-BI is quickly biodegradable in natural conditions, such as the marine environment. Its production consists of non-genetically modified corn starch and vegetable oil from conventional agricultural practices. In the EU, only 1% of the total production of corn starch is used in bioplastics. The process has minimal impact on water consumption as only 25 to 30 liters of irrigation water is required to produce 1 kg of MATER-BI materials.
