Ampacet, a global masterbatch leader, has introduced its BIORANGE masterbatches, enabling end use plastics made of compostable polymers to be completely and fully composted in an industrial compost facility.
Biodegradable end products made of compostable polymers and Ampacet’s BIORANGE masterbatches can be mixed together with organic wastes, thereby enabling an end-of-life via industrial composting.
The BIORANGE masterbatches are a part of Ampacet’s sustainable product offerings, which is compatible with EN13432 composting standard, are designed for use in compostable end articles, supporting the environment from traditional plastics pollution.
In recent years, numerous countries have introduced legislation restricting the sales of lightweight plastic bags in order to reduce littering and plastic pollution. If not disposed off properly, the plastic bags can pollute waterways, clog sewers, affect soil and plant life and disrupt the habitat of animals and marine life.
Consumers are getting more and more aware of environmental issues and brand owners are investing in sustainablity policies and programs to promote sustainable image in marketplace.
These changes have led to development and increasing popularity of biodegradable compostable plastics. These materials have gained larger market shares in categories of single use lightweight bags as well as other non-durable applications and are considered to be sustainable alternative to conventional plastics, unlike oxo-biodegradable solutions.
