  • Clamshells
  • Lids and Covers
  • Cups and bowls
  • Cutlery
  • Food storage bags
  • Shrink Film

Benefits

PolyEarthyleneTM grades are a biobased and biodegradable resin that offers several distinct advantages over traditional petroleum-based plastics. Some key benefits:

  • FDA Title 21 Food Contact Compliant
  • Environmental Sustainability
    • Biobased Composition: PolyEarthylene™ is a polyolefin derived from renewable resources, which reduces reliance on fossil fuels and supports a more sustainable materials lifecycle.
    • Biodegradability: Unlike conventional plastics that persist in the environment for hundreds of years, PolyEarthylene™ breaks down in landfill conditions, minimizing long-term environmental impact and contributing to waste reduction.
    • Industrial and Curbside Recycling Compatibility: PolyEarthylene™ has been tested and verified to be recyclable alongside polyethylene in both industrial and curbside recycling programs, facilitating its integration into existing recycling systems.
  • Performance Attributes:
    • Strength and Flexibility: PolyEarthylene™ maintains favorable mechanical properties such as dart impact, tensile and tear strength, making it suitable for a range of applications including packaging and protective films.
    • Durability: The resin offers excellent strength and durability, meeting the performance needs of various film applications without compromising quality and allowing for reusability.
    • PolyEarthylene™ is designed to process on existing equipment with minimal parameter changes.
  • Customizability:
    • It’s not just plastic! Some applications require custom solutions.
    • At Verde Bioresins we invite you to work closely with our R&D team to create custom formulations of PolyEarthylene™ tailored to your specific requirements. Our commitment to innovation and sustainability motivates us to deliver unique solutions that meet the needs of your applications.
