PolyPlant® in short

PolyPlant® is made entirely from biobased materials and builds on proven PLA technology, enhanced with a proprietary technology that improves performance, ductility, and elasticity. This makes PolyPlant® suitable for a wide range of applications while remaining scalable and compatible with existing production setups. .

Biobased
Non-toxic
Technical recyclable
Compostable
The PLA used in the PolyPlant® fiber has a 75% Reduced Carbon Footprint (compared with virgin PET)
Moisture-wicking, UV resistance, and flame retardancy
Soft and Comfortable
Biodegradable

PolyPlant® life cycle

Compared to oil-based polyester PolyPlant® enables non-fossil feedstock and multiple end-of-life solutions.

Technical Recyclable
PolyPlant® can be mechanically recycled in dedicated PLA streams, and it can be chemically depolymerized back to its monomers.
Compostable
PolyPlant® is certified for industrial composting (EN 13432).
Biodegradable
PolyPlant® is tested under controlled conditions.
