EcoWorks® Resin, Biodegradable Resin for Film

Product Description

Eco Works® Resin is a proprietary blend of aliphatic and aromatic polyesters designed for compostable film extrusion applications. Eco Works® Resin also contains a biopolymer sourced from annually renewable feedstocks. When placed in a typical commercial composting environment, films produced from Eco Works® Resin will fully biodegrade within a matter of months (exact time depends on conditions of the disposal environment). There is no ecotoxicity to the soil, plants, or microorganisms involved in this process. Films produced from Eco Works® are shelf stable and will not degrade prematurely until placed in a proper composting environment.
