Mater-BI, a Product of Novamont S.p.A products

MATER-BI carrier bags are the perfect alternative to lightweight non-biodegradable plastic bags as they provide all the positive aspects which made traditional bags so popular (strength, water resistance etc) but are certified as biodegradable and compostable and as such can also be reused for the collection of food waste. Compostable carrier bags are already on offer to consumers in over 100 local authorities across the UK. To find out how MATER-BI compostable carrier bags can work for you in the UK, contact us.

Liners and sacks made from MATER-BI are fully certified to EN13432 and can be produced to be suitable for home composting with certification to Vincotte’s OK Compost Home.

MATER-BI compostable resins can be used in a wide variety of packaging applications including bags, pouches, sealing films, cling film plus ridged pots, trays and lids. MATER-BI is also designed to be used on existing blown, cast film, thermoformed and injection moulding equipment used for traditional plastics. MATER-BI has unique barrier properties versus traditional plastics such as good moisture vapour breathability which can help extend food shelf life in specific applications.
