The patent, originally filed back in 2020, covers a new and innovative line of compounds that don\u2019t rely on PLA for its properties. Instead, it substitutes the PLA with a unique blend of biodegradable and compostable polymers and minerals. Compounds based on the patent are already in use for applications such as carrier bags, fruit & vegetables bags, waste bags, and medical aprons, with several more under development or consideration.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very pleased with the final confirmation for this patent,\u201d says Peter Stenstr\u00f6m, CEO at GAIA<\/strong>, \u201cI know the effort that has gone into it; it reflects the people in our R&D department, and the work they are capable of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur customers have responded really well to the new materials developed under the patent,\u201d says Niklas Rosenkvist, Sales Director at GAIA<\/strong>, \u201cit shows that we as an organization not only are capable of identifying the needs in the market, but also deliver on them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving the patent finally confirmed in Europe, we know that our new R&D platform and patent strategy is working. We can now continue our efforts into developing the next generation of leading biodegradable and compostable bioplastics,\u201d concludes Konrad Ros\u00e9n, R&D Director at GAIA.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
