EspañolBASF will produce certified compostable biopolymer ecovio in Shanghai, China ® Establish modified production capacity to better support customers in Asia. After successfully completing the qualification test, a large amount of commercial materials will be provided to customers in the Asia Pacific region starting from mid-2023. The first batch of selected modifications that can be ordered includes film grades suitable for applications such as certified compostable shopping bags and organic waste bags, soil biodegradable agricultural films, and packaging. Therefore, BASF innovative biopolymers and services can provide convenient and fast services to customers in the Asia Pacific region nearby, and ensure that customers can adapt to the changing plastic regulations faster with shorter delivery time.
ecovio ® It is a high-quality biopolymer that has been certified by international and national standards and can be biodegraded by microorganisms under industrial and household composting conditions, as well as in agricultural soils. BASF Biopolymer is one of the few certified compostable polymers and meets the requirements of European food contact regulations and FDA food contact substance notification. Marcel Barth, head of global biopolymer marketing at BASF, stated: With local modified production capacity, we will more effectively meet the needs of film manufacturers in the region, thereby accelerating business growth in important Asian markets. Many Asia Pacific countries are about to introduce new laws and regulations to promote the application of compostable materials in bag applications, agricultural films, and packaging. It is foreseeable that the market development prospects are positive and full of hope
BASF Biopolymer Ecovio ® Certified as compostable according to standards such as DIN EN 13432. It's BASF PBAT ecoflex ® Blends with renewable raw materials. ecovio ® Typical applications include organic waste bags, cling films, fruit and vegetable bags, as well as agricultural film and food packaging. Research shows that ecovio ® It has advantages in food production, packaging, shelf life, and food waste collection. These advantages are based on the certified biodegradability of the material in industrial and household composting as well as agricultural soils: through larger composting methods, food waste can be reduced, nutrients can be returned to the soil, and persistent microplastics can be avoided from accumulating in agricultural soils. This helps to close the nutrient cycle through organic cycling, thereby promoting the development of circular economy.
