ecovio® – compostable polymers with biobased content
ecovio® is a high-quality and versatile bioplastic of BASF.
The primary advantage is that it is certified compostable with bio-based content.
It also enables the proportion of recycled paper fibers in food service packaging to be increased.
ecovio® has been developed for coating paper and paper board. Applied to both paper and board packaging elements by coextrusion, this unique product enables the manufacture of 100% wax and fluorocarbon free food service items, such as wrappers and clamshells, which can be composted. ecovio® coating allows you to manufacture in conformity with food safety and environment friendly standards.
