Compostability

Compostability is an efficient route for the recovery of organic waste. Compost helps prevent desertification, and its production is essential to achieve a favourable environment and fertile soil for growing food products such as fruit and vegetables, which contribute to a healthy diet.

Therefore, it is necessary to collect and manage organic waste efficiently in order to produce high-quality compost, avoiding contamination with other materials. By introducing compostable materials into everyday products such as bags, packaging, coffee capsules, etc., we prevent contamination of organic matter and support the proper management of the brown bin.

The alternative of compostable biopolymers

Compostability or organic recycling is the alternative that gives a second life to the organic fraction, while also providing a sustainable solution that helps reduce the management costs of conventional plastic materials after use.

INZEA’s compostable biopolymers offer recovery options for applications whose management would otherwise be complex, such as multi-material packaging and containers with organic residues

Advantages of compostable products

Compostable materials add value to packaging that is in contact with organic content, as at the end of their life cycle they can be managed in a composting plant.

On the other hand, conventional plastics require a large number of processes to be recycled and, in many cases, end up in landfill, which entails significant economic and environmental costs compared to the simplicity of the composting process.

WHAT IS INZEA

The world is changing and the plastics industry has to adapt to a new situation where sustainability is a priority for governments, businesses and consumers. INZEA® is our response to our customers’ demand for more sustainable plastic materials.

INZEA is a range of biopolymers which can replace traditional plastics in different applications such as bags, mono-use items and packaging, with the advantage of being biodegradable and compostable.

INZEA product range is obtained from renewable sources and is designed to return to nature by different disposal methods like industrial & home composting, or by biodegradation in different environments.
