Compostable Resins

Compostable resins, also known as biodegradable resins, are a type of plastic made from natural materials that can break down into organic matter under certain environmental conditions. Unlike traditional plastics, which can take hundreds or even thousands of years to decompose, compostable resins can break down in as little as six months under the right conditions.

Compostable resins are typically made from a variety of materials, including corn starch, sugarcane, potato starch, and other biodegradable polymers. These materials are used to create a plastic-like substance that can be molded into various shapes and forms.

What is compostable resin made of?

Compostable resin is a type of bioplastic made from renewable, natural materials such as corn starch, potato starch, sugarcane, or cellulose derived from wood or agricultural waste. These materials are broken down into a pulp or powder form and then combined with other ingredients such as vegetable oils, resins, and waxes to create a plastic-like material that can be molded into various shapes.

Compostable resins are designed to break down quickly and completely when composted under specific conditions, typically within 180 days. They are also designed to be free of harmful toxins and to have a lower carbon footprint than traditional petroleum-based plastics. Compostable resins are commonly used in food packaging, utensils, bags, and other disposable products as a more sustainable alternative to conventional plastics.
