Biodegradable

Advancing biodegradability

Our biodegradable products are designed to decompose into base components that already exist in the natural environment after their useful life. Our aim is to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing product performance by producing materials that are stable in use, but do not persist in land, water, or air.
