comp I verde, The home compostable bioplastic with soil-enriching effect

More than just biodegradable

With the increasing regulation of single-use plastics and growing awareness of microplastics, demand for genuine alternatives is rising. comp I verde is a state-of-the-art, home compostable and biodegradable compound that combines environmental compatibility with high performance.

What sets comp I verde apart from many bioplastics: it actively enriches the soil after decomposition. The minerals contained in the material are released during the breakdown process and improve the water absorption of the soil, a positive cycle rather than mere damage mitigation.

Documented degradation study per ÖNORM EN 13432:2008

The performance of comp I verde is not only claimed but documented. In a flower-pot trial under real home composting conditions, a 38-gram pot with a wall thickness of approx. 1 mm was used. Result after 28 days: 97% degradation, verified by an independent institute following the ÖNORM EN 13432:2008 methodology.

This goes beyond the minimum requirements of industrially compostable materials: degradation takes place under mild conditions, no industrial compost, no controlled high-temperature facility.

Four properties that make the difference

• Rapid degradation on soil contact: as soon as soil bacteria are active, decomposition begins, not before.
• Bio-based & home compostable: 100% from natural raw materials, decomposable in your own compost.
• Soil-enriching: released minerals improve soil structure and water absorption.
• Material properties retained: no premature decomposition, the material stays robust until the end of its useful life.

Which applications fit comp I verde?

comp I verde is suitable for all applications where plastic should return to nature or compost after use. It has proven itself for:

• Flower pots and plant clips in gardening
• Single-use packaging and food-service items
• Mulch films and aids in agriculture
• Single-use tableware and cutlery

Compatible with your existing production

Switching to comp I verde requires no new machinery. The compound is compatible with all common plastics processing technologies, injection moulding, thermoforming and extrusion. Processors can continue using their existing equipment without retooling costs.
