Ecoflex® Biodegradable Plastic

Ecoflex® Biodegradable Plastic

Ecoflex® is BASF's completely biodegradable and compostable plastic. It is ideal for trash bags or disposable packaging as it decomposes in compost within a few weeks or in soil without leaving any residues. Ecoflex is designed to process like Low Density Polyethylene into films, bags or coatings. It does not require drying and is shelf and warehouse stable for one year.

Global Certification

Ecoflex® biodegradable plastic is certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute in North American via ASTM D6400, and has biodegradable certifications with the European Standard EN 13432 on compostability as well as the Japanese standard GreenPla. Certification is very important for biodegradable materials, as they ensure materials will swiftly and safely biodegrade in the environment.

Ecoflex® grades are part of PlasticsPlus™, BASF's name for a specialty plastics line that includes high-performance styrenics, biodegradable materials, and foams. Wherever exacting requirements have to be met, the experts and products from PlasticsPlus™ supply a particularly high level of diversity, reliability, partnership, and innovation.
