Design with Peace of Mind
By leveraging the advanced, soil-biodegradable plant-starch matrix of BioNatur film, we can engineer custom-tailored flexible food packaging that directly aligns with your brand's strict sustainability goals. This innovative material mimics the barrier properties, tensile strength, and shelf-life protection of traditional plastics, but provides total peace of mind by completely eliminating long-term waste. Because the film is fully certified to break down naturally into water, carbon dioxide, and organic biomass without leaving behind toxic microplastics, your customers can feel confident that your packaging actively protects the planet rather than polluting landfills.
 
Whether utilized for fresh produce, dry goods, or specialty foods, this seamless swap delivers the premium performance your products require while offering a transparent, genuinely eco-friendly narrative that resonates with modern, environmentally conscious consumers.
 
Anaerobically Biodegradable
BioNatur Plastics are biodegradable in an anaerobic (lack of oxygen) environment. Current testing standard, ASTM D5511, demonstrates that BioNatur plastic biodegrades 99.7% in 1,697 days in the test environment. This particular test reflects a high heat and high moisture anaerobic environment, comparable to most landfills. While actual landfills may have less heat and less moisture compared to controlled test conditions, the presence of methane (a byproduct of anaerobic biodegradation) demonstrates that biodegradation does occur. Many U.S. landfills are capturing methane produced through biodegradation and converting it into energy—a trend that's steadily gaining momentum.
 
BioNatur's proprietary organic additive attracts naturally occurring anaerobic bacteria in a landfill to digest the additive and create enzymes that break down the large plastic polymers into smaller hydrocarbons that the bacteria then recognize as food. The bacteria then digest these smaller hydrocarbons into water, dirt and gases.
