PLASTPOM has been a prominent player in food and drink packaging for the past 24 years. Teaming up with BIO PLASTPOM, we have spearheaded the development of a revolutionary bio-granulate, transforming the landscape of sustainable packaging production.
The bio-granulate is an advanced biodegradable and compostable material derived from potato starch called NOPLA ®, developed in close collaboration with Polish scientific institutions, particularly the Gdansk University of Technology.
INTRODUCING NOPLA ®
NOPLA® represents a patented breakthrough, providing a cutting-edge solution in sustainable packaging materials made from potato starch. Our process involves purely physical and mechanical modifications, avoiding any chemical alterations to ensure that NOPLA® remains a completely natural, non-synthetic material free from artificial additives.
Its decomposition is eco-friendly, as it does not release microplastics due to the absence of any plastic components. This material is both biodegradable and compostable, suitable for disposal in various environments, including household composters, saltwater, freshwater, and soil.
APPLICATIONS OF NOPLA ®
- NOPLA® offers a cutting-edge, plastic-free alternative for packaging. This versatile biogranulate can be used in various production techniques like injection molding, blow molding, and thermoforming, enabling the creation of environmentally friendly products using existing machinery.
- We have established a proprietary production line exclusively for NOPLA® biogranulate, protected by copyright. Production officially began in May 2023.
- NOPLA® complies with EU Directive 904/2019 SUP, allowing for the manufacture of items such as cutlery, straws, earbuds, and balloon sticks for the EU market. It also exceeds the standards of the EN 13432 composting standard, decomposing within 3 to 6 months under household composting conditions.
- NOPLA® has been approved for food contact, undergoing rigorous migration tests by the Polish Institute of Hygiene to ensure its safety in food-related applications.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
- Competitive Edge: NOPLA® meets consumer demands for sustainable solutions, giving businesses a competitive edge.
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: NOPLA® has a significantly lower carbon footprint than traditional PP, resulting in reduced environmental impact.
- Enhanced Efficiency: NOPLA® contributes to a 30% reduction in energy consumption during production, lowering manufacturing costs and environmental footprint.
- Compliance Made Simple: With NOPLA®, there are no additional systems or fees, aligning with global sustainability trends aimed at reducing plastic usage.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Our innovative solution aligns with sustainability principles and the circular economy. NOPLA® is a natural, biodegradable, and compostable material with thermoplastic properties, offering performance similar to traditional plastics without relying on fossil fuels.
NOPLA® poses no environmental threat, sinking in aquatic settings to provide sustenance for marine life without harming sediment. It decomposes without releasing microplastics, as it contains no plastic components.
