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.

Using compostable Biodolomer biomaterial from GAIA BioMaterials instead of plastics for coating substrate materials reduces CO2 emissions by up to 80%. The coatings are fully biodegradable and result in no microplastics, as they may behave like plastic and feel like plastic, but they are not. GAIA startpage Extrusion Coating All extrusion coating Featured extrusion coating grades Add protective coating. Not plastic. The concept of adding protective coatings to paper, cardboard, and other cellulose substrates was a game changer in packaging. Using paper or cardboard and still having all the protection from water and humidity that plastic provides. But as recycling became natural for us, it also became apparent that the plastic coating was a problem in that process as the two materials needed very different treatments. Enter compostable Biodolomer® biomaterial from GAIA Biomaterials. The material that behaves like plastic and feels like plastic – but is fully biodegradable and even compostable. Any material that can be coated with plastic can be coated with Biodolomer® biomaterial. Getting all the benefits of plastic – and none of the problems. Biodolomer® compound is not only biodegradable – it results in up to 80 % less CO2 emissions and no microplastics. Try it. It’s just like plastic. But not.
