- wrappings made from Natural Polymers are breathable, food will keep fresh for a longer period of time
Natural Polymers are oxygen-permeable. Packaged baked goods, fruits and vegetables will stay fresh for a longer period of time in a breathable environment, and will be less prone to mildew.
- CO2 emissions, reduced greenhouse effect
Plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere to grow. Natural synthetic material releases, when burned or composted, only the amount of CO2, which was previously absorbed during photosynthesis from the air. Compared to the combustion of petroleum products this is a much smaller burden regarding the greenhouse effect.
- conservation of petroleum resources
Oil is getting scarcer and more expensive. In contrast, regrowing resources provides an inexhaustible source of raw materials. They grow practically on our doorstep and do not need long transport routes.
- renewable resources
- degradation of agricultural overproduction
The European agriculture is characterized by overproduction. Farmers are subsidized for fallow fields. The use of corn, potatoes and grain for the production of Natural Polymers from starch provides an alternative source of income.
- decomposes in nature
In a landfill or when thrown away bacteria come in contact with the Natural Polymers and begin the decomposition process of starch. Depending on the material thickness, temperature and number of bacteria, the process takes eight weeks to several months. Natural Polymers decompose completely.
- carrying bags
made from Natural Polymers keep food fresh, are durable, tear-resistant, compact, quickly at hand and you can buy them without a guilty conscience, because they can be used in many ways and afterwards be composted.
- compost bag
How do you dispose of your organic waste? Compost sacks made of paper become soggy quickly, can leave spots and be very discomforting for consumers to dispose of. Natural Polymer bags can hold liquid organic waste. Simply knot it up and put it on your compost heap.

The first products were launched on the market 15 years ago, unfortunately, at that time only with moderate success, because production, development and implementation were still very expensive.
Since 2002, this technology experienced a sudden development and became cheaper. Meanwhile, Natural Polymers can be processed only with minor changes on conventional plastic machines.
England and Scandinavia are the pioneers in the use of Natural Polymers. Bangladesh was the first country worldwide to outlaw plastic bags in 2002.
Natural Polymers offer a variety of applications that have the advantages of conventional plastic and do not burden the environment.
