Fruit bags/organic waste bags/food packaging

An important market of compostable resins is the flexible packaging. Carrier bags made of compostable resins are the perfect alternative to lightweight non-biodegradable plastic bags as they provide all the positive aspects of traditional bags while providing biodegradability and compostability. Applications for such carrier bags range from grocery plastic bags and plastic films to food packaging, among others. They are also the ideal solution for organic waste collection bags as they are organically recycled into fertile compost. Some formulations of our compostable resins meet more demanding requirements, having been certified for OK Compost and OK Home Compost by TÜV AUSTRIA according to the European Standard EN13432 and in line with the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act (France).

Regular plastics offer strength and flexibility, but at the expense of our environment. Today, customers want something better.

Minima has exclusive compounding capabilities to create biodegradable resin blends. Minima resins and compounds have good mechanical and physical properties, excellent superior processability, yet are completely biodegradable in commercial compost facilities.

Minima’s polymer scientists have developed a unique polymer cross-linking method that allows compostable source materials to bond into resin. For example, our signature line of resins (GP Series) combines polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable thermoplastic derived from natural plant sources, with other biodegradable polymers like PBS and PBAT to create a strong yet flexible resins. The result: superior bio-based products for film extrusion, sheet extrusion, foam sheet, injection molding, and blow molding.
