  • Film Blowing | GAIA BioMaterials | Compostable

    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.
