Het onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat composteerbare bioplastics minstens net zo goed composteren als gangbaar GFT-afval dat in de groene afvalbak wordt weggegooid.

Taghleef unveils bio-based film

Taghleef Industries has extended its Nativia range of bio-based and industrially-compostable films with Nativia Ness, which is a white voided film containing second generation starch derived from waste water of the potato processing industry. This film was developed by Taghleef in a close collaboration with Mars, Rodenburg and Mondi. This collaboration won the eleventh Global Bioplastics Award for a chocolate bar wrapper developed for Mars and Snickers bars packaging.
