Compostable bioplastics are eco-friendly & help to reduce the dependency on fossil-based regular plastic which takes 100+ years to degrade. Compostable bioplastics degrade into compost and are food for plants within 60 to 180 days; once composted.

Today, Compostable bioplastics are mainly being used in packaging, e-commerce, waste management, food takeaway, household appliances, automotive, textiles & agriculture.

With growing awareness of climate change, the demand for sustainable product packaging is growing. Brands do not have much choice, but to look at adopting alternatives for the environmentally-conscious customer.

Compostable bioplastics are a diverse family of materials with differing properties, few to mention are polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), polybutylene succinate (PBS) & starch blends.

Indian and International supermarket chains like Dmart, Big Bazaar, BigBasket, Carrefour, Sainsbury, Billa, Spar, and Hofer offer different packaging products and/or shopping bags made of compostable bioplastics. In the leisure/sports sector brands like Benetton, Max, and Levis use compostable bio-plastics packaging material.r

Yes, technically, you can eat bioplastic. By bioplastic, we refer to polymers created from organic biomass, like cornstarch and sugarcane. However, take this yes with a grain of salt.

Yes, it can be reprocessed and reused in the existing process.

The cost of research and development still makes up for a share of investment in Compostable bioplastics and has an impact on material and product prices.
