Compostable packaging made from agriculture waste
Using agricultural waste materials, German startup Traceless has created three new types of packaging. All three are designed specifically as a replacement for high-volume single-use plastics. The new materials are fully compostable, even at home, and are completely safe to use on food.
The polymers used in its products – a film, a sprayable coating and a hard plastic alternative – are natural and without any chemical alteration, making them much quicker to decompose. The hard plastic option is usable in 3D printers and can be dyed, moulded and printed. Similarly, the film is also able to be dyed and printed, as well as heat-sealed.
The company is in the early stages of development, with its technology currently patent-pending. If manufactured and applied on a global scale, such plastic replacements could make significant strides towards reducing the production of new plastics.
