Kassar från Gaia Biomaterials ser ut som, och känns som, plastkassar. De är tillverkade av Biodolomer som är gjort av kalksten (krita). GAIA startpage Komposterbara bärkassar från Gaia Biomaterials. Ge dina kunder något bättre än plastkassar KOMPOSTERBARA BÄRKASSAR AV BIODOLOMER - FRÅN SVERIGE Nu kan du erbjuda dina kunder en kasse som känns och används som en plastkasse. Men som inte är en plastkasse. Vad är grejen? När du känner på den är det svårt att förstå, men Gaia-kassen är baserad på krita. Ett av världens vanligaste material. Materialet den görs av heter Biodolomer och är utvecklat i Sverige. Det ger våra kassar en hel mängd unika egenskaper: • Komposterbarhet Kassarna är komposterbara i en helt vanlig hemkompost. Det betyder också att om de av misstag skulle hamna i naturen så bryts de ner. Det gör också att du kan använda dem för matavfall som du lägger i din egen kompost. När de bryts ner så avges bland annat kalcium. • Hållbara Känn på dem! Dra i dem. Lasta tungt. Detta är kassar som håller för flera vändor till affären. • Minimal klimatpåverkan När kassen används för sista gången – som soppåse – går den till förbränning. Och då vet du att den avger ca 80 % mindre CO2 än en vanlig plastkasse. • Inga mikroplaster Alla saker av vanlig plast – och även många av så kallade Bioplaster – avger mikroplaster när de slits eller mals ner. Men inte kassar eller andra produkter gjorda av Biodolomer. • Tillverkade i Sverige Både materialet Biodolomer och själva kassarna tillverkas i Sverige av Gaia Biomaterials i Helsingborg. Det ger korta transporter i hela värdekedjan. Detta är starka kassar som klarar last på upp till 12 kg och som kan återanvändas upp till 15 gånger. Du kan lägga en kasse direkt i hemkomposten och se den brytas ner.

By changing from plastic to compostable Biodolomer biomaterial in thermoforming production, products like cups, trays, and pots become biodegradable. GAIA can also provide sheets made from Biodolomer compounds to the preferred thickness. GAIA startpage Thermoforming All thermoforming Featured thermoforming grades Add pressure to the substrate. Not to the environment. Thermoforming is a great production method for many disposable products. However, the products are not always so great from the planet's perspective – if you use plastic. But if you change from plastic to compostable Biodolomer® biomaterial from GAIA BioMaterials in your production it’s a whole new ball game. Then everything you produce becomes fully biodegradable. Drinking cups, various trays, and even planting pots (you don't even have to remove the pot when you plant as it decomposes by itself …). Biodolomer® compound is not only biodegradable – it results in up to 80 % less CO2 emissions and no microplastics. We supply the granules if you produce your own sheets, or we can provide sheets made from Biodolomer® compound of your preferred thickness. Try it. It’s just like plastic. But not.

Disposable plastic automotive covers create a lot of waste. If blown off, they stay in nature for a very long time. Automotive covers made from compostable Biodolomer biomaterial reduce waste and CO2 emissions drastically. They have the same function and biodegrade without leaving any microplastics. GAIA startpage Automotive covers Automotive covers Covering cars with disposable plastic automotive covers creates a lot of waste. And if blown off, they fly away and stay in nature for a very long time. By making automotive covers 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 Earns BPI Certification for Biodolomer® T GAIA startpage GAIA Earns BPI Certification for Biodolomer® T GAIA Earns BPI Certification for Biodolomer® T Following up the company’s impressive BPI certification for its Biodolomer® F film grades, in thicknesses up to 126 microns, GAIA continues its quest to conquer the hearts and minds of US consumers and companies by adding another BPI certification. This time for Biodolomer® T grades for thermoforming. (Photo: Genberg & Co) “With the BPI certification for Biodolomer® F, things were new for us, says GAIA R&D Manager Konrad Rosén. “It was the first time we certified a material with BPI, and although we were confident that the material would pass the certification, due to our previous experiences with TÜV Austria and DinCertco, there are always minor differences in the way the processes are structured, and the way results are viewed between the different certification bodies. This time around there were no uncertainties whatsoever.” The BPI certification is for 1000 microns and is based on the US ASTM D6400 standard, which is very similar to the European EN 13432 standard. With the new BPI certification, GAIA is rapidly building a reputation as a company that is serious about entering the US market. The company now holds BPI certifications for both thermoforming-, as well as film blowing materials, and has received FDA Authorisation for its materials for use with foods.

Compostable Biodolomer biomaterial can replace plastics in existing film blowing machines with only a few changes to the settings. Energy savings are achieved due to the lower working temperature, and the resulting product is home-compostable and biodegrades without leaving any microplastics. GAIA startpage Film Blowing All film blowing Featured film blowing grades Film blowing in a sustainable way. Whatever you produce with film blowing, the odds are that compostable Biodolomer® biomaterial from GAIA BioMaterials can make those products biodegradable and your company a part of the sustainable transition. Just replace the current plastic you use with Biodolomer® compound, change a few settings, and you will become a producer of compostable plastic bags, aprons, wrapping film, or whatever you specialize in. “Compostable” as in “actually decomposes in a regular home compost.” Leaving no microplastics and resulting in some 80 % lower CO2 emissions. Add to that the fact that your machines can run at a lower temperature and produce at least at the same speed as with plastic – often faster. Plus, that Biodolomer® compound is made in Sweden, using calcium carbonate. Try it. It’s just like plastic. But not.
