With its predominantly fossil-free and sustainable PLA-based products, BIO-FED can offer an alternative material for a large part of packaging applications, for example. The relevant M\u00b7VERA<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> grades can be processed both in the injection moulding process and in the extrusion process, e.g. thermoforming.<\/p>\n<p>As a 100% biobased and industrially compostable polymer, PLA is versatile. Possible applications include packaging for food and cosmetics as well as consumer items, such as office supplies or household goods. PLA compounds are characterised by variable stiffness and typically low shrinkage. The material properties can be individually adjusted by adding different fillers or reinforcing agents and additives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there is no suitable compound in our portfolio, we have the ability to respond to the wishes and requirements of the customers with our experienced research team and jointly develop tailor-made PLA-based compounds,\u201d says Dr. Stanislaw Haftka, Sales Director at BIO-FED.<\/p>\n<p>According to the manufacturer, transparent compounds are also possible. Moreover, biodegradability according to \u201cOK compost INDUSTRIAL\u201d is being sought. The compounds can also be colored with the biobased AF-Eco<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> masterbatches from the sister company AF-COLOR. These are developed and manufactured in close cooperation by the two companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a branch of AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH, BIO-FED is the specialist for innovative and application-oriented biocompounds.
