Plastic banana tree bags create a lot of waste and stay in nature for a long time if disposed of incorrectly. Making them from compostable Biodolomer biomaterial reduces waste and CO2 emissions drastically without compromising function. And they biodegrade without leaving any microplastics. GAIA startpage Banana tree bags Banana tree bags Plastic banana tree bags create a lot of waste. And bags that blow off can fly away and stay in nature for a very long time. By making the bags out of compostable Biodolomer® biomaterial you reduce both waste and CO2 emissions drastically. While still having exactly the same function. And if they accidentally find themselves in nature, they will soon biodegrade, leaving no microplastics. Contact us

Gaia Biomaterials h as successfully concluded a $5 million rights issue. The rights issue is backed by the Swedish state owned greentech venture capital fund Almi Invest Greentech, and private international and domestic investors. Funds will be used to expand market penetration in the United States, India, and other targeted markets. Gaia Biomaterials is unique as the company’s home-compostable material, Biodolomer, is based on limestone, one of the most commonly available minerals on earth. Biodolomer can replace fossil plastic in everything from drinking cups to grocery bags. It is fully compostable with a minimal carbon footprint and does not result in any micro-plastics during the composting process, “We have a revolutionary and proprietary technology, we have the production capacity, and we have done our market testing,” says Peter Stenström, CEO. “Now, the time has come to expand our market presence. We will use our funds to expand our global network of commercial agents and train and support them.” Gaia Biomaterials is unique as the company’s home-compostable material, Biodolomer, is based on limestone, one of the most commonly available minerals on earth.

Their product has an enormous potential as it is both climate-positive and will reduce waste and microplastics.” Gaia’s material was recently used in beer cups for the Formula 1 final in Abu Dhabi. It is also used in a variety of disposable products to replace fossil plastic, from health-care aprons to drinking straws, food containers, and planting pots. “There are very few limits,” Stenström continues. Our material can be used in various production techniques, including film blowing, bottle blowing, thermoforming, injection, and extrusion coating, with no changes in machinery. This makes it easy for brand owners to drastically reduce their CO2 emissions and reduce the waste mountain problem. Today, Gaia has a production capacity that can be scaled up to 50,000 tons/year within the existing structure. "The need for plastic replacement is recognized globally, and we are witnessing tremendous interest in our offerings. Responding to the high demand from brand owners, we are currently expanding our network of commercial agents worldwide." Published date 3 apr. 2024 Category News

Swedish company GAIA Biomaterials' limestone-based bioplastic material Biodolomer has received more compostability certifications from BPI in the USA. The new certifications cover Biodolomer T and enable the production of compostable products that require rigid materials, such as drinking mugs and food trays. GAIA startpage More BPI Certifications for Gaia Biomaterials Allow for New Compostable Products More BPI Certifications for Gaia Biomaterials Allow for New Compostable Products Swedish company GAIA Biomaterials' limestone-based bioplastic material Biodolomer has received more compostability certifications from BPI in the USA. The new certifications cover Biodolomer T and enable the production of compostable products that require rigid materials, such as drinking mugs and food trays. Gaia Biomaterials recently received its first BPI compostability certificate for the thinner grades of Biodolomer suitable for film applications. The new certificates are given to Biodolomer T for Extrusion, Granulates, Sheet Resin, and Thermoforming Resin with a maximum thickness of 1000 microns. Biodolomer T is suitable for products that require a rigid material, such as beer and coffee cups, and food trays. “This means that we can now offer a USA-certified compostable material for a number of new applications that require a thicker and more rigid material”, says Gaia Biomaterials CEO Peter Stenström. BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) is North America's leading authority on compostable products and packaging. They ensure that all claims of compostability are supported by scientific evidence as requested by the FTC. Biodolomer T already has a European certification from the German certification bureau DIN Certco. Like other Biodolomer materials, it is based on limestone and does not result in any microplastics. It also reduces CO2 emissions by up to 80% when incinerated. Published date 20 maj 2024 Category Press release
