The Mend’s bioplastic protectors are made from a biopolymer of corn starch, while mimicking the properties of traditional plastic protectors. They are made from renewable materials, and are biodegradable and industrially compostable. Our bioplastic protectors are popular for their protective coverage as they mimic plastic’s bundling properties.
The strategy with sensitivity to place and scale in order to sustain local communities and provide new job opportunities while preserving the quality of the environment and reducing your carbon footprint
Compost is a mixture that consists largely of decayed organic matter and is used for fertilizing and conditioning land. Something that is compostable can be used as compost when it decays. (From Merriam Webster)
Industrial composting can deal with a broader range of compostable products and operates in a highly controlled setting with specific temperatures and conditions. Industrial composting is able to apply a far higher temperature to the already pre-processed packaging material. The high heat breaks the packaging down even further, hastening the decomposition.
