Summary
Compostable resin is an environmentally friendly material synthesized from plant raw materials or biotechnology, which can be completely degraded under composting conditions. Common types include PLA, PBAT, PBS, PHA and starch-based resins, which are widely used in garbage bags, agricultural products and disposable tableware.
Torise's compostable resin comply with international environmental certifications, ensure food safety, and promote sustainable development.
Introduction of compostable resin
Compostable resin is an environmentally friendly material synthesized from plants. Under specific composting conditions, they can be completely degraded into carbon dioxide, water and biomass without leaving any harmful substances. These materials reduce dependence on petroleum plastics, fostering a cleaner, more sustainable future!
Common compostable resins on the market
Polylactic acid (PLA): Made from renewable plant resources (such as corn starch), widely used in compostable packaging and disposable tableware.
Polyester (PBAT): Bio-based polyester with good flexibility, often used in combination with PLA to enhance material performance.
Polysuccinic acid (PBS): A new type of polyester with excellent compostability and mechanical properties, suitable for a variety of environmental conditions.
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA): A natural polymer synthesized by microorganisms with excellent biodegradability and compatibility.
Starch-based resin: Made from modified starch, widely used in the manufacture of shopping bags and food packaging.
Application of compostable resin
• Compostable bags: including garbage bags, shopping bags, food packaging bags, etc., help reduce the use of plastic and promote an environmentally friendly lifestyle.
• Gardening and agriculture: such as planting bags and seedling containers, which can be naturally degraded after use, improve soil quality, and help sustainable agricultural development.
• Disposable tableware and cups: provide environmentally friendly alternatives for the takeaway and catering industries, reduce plastic pollution, and protect the earth's ecology.
Torise's compostable resin
Torise's compostable resin materials are certified by international standards, including EN13432, OK Compost, OK Compost Home, ASTM D6400, and BPI, ensuring each product meets reliable environmental performance.
The main products we provide include:
•TRBF90:PBAT, PLA and starch, designed for garbage bags
•TRBF96:PBAT and PLA, suitable for packaging materials in contact with food, such as compostable fruit and vegetable bags.
All materials come from non-edible plants to ensure that they do not affect food supply.
