Applications

Biodegradable waste bags from Clear Earth have a much greater moisture barrier than other bioplastics. This is due to the fact that Clear Earth does not contain starch or starch derivatives. Organic waste releases moisture during collection within the container. With Clear Earth, this moisture remains in the bag and does not leachate into the dustbin.

Compostable Garment/ Apparel Bags from Clear Earth have a much better moisture barrier than other bioplastics because of the fact that Clear Earth does not contain any starch or starch derivatives. Best contact transparency with elegant surface gloss, high output and smooth processability, adequate & long-lasting side seal strength are the prime advantages of Clear Earth made compostable Garment bags for Garment packaging.

Grow Bags made from Clear Earth resins have the advantage that they do not biodegrade too quickly during their protective function as a bag in contact with Soil with seedling/ plant. Since in Bio-Flex resins, starch or starch derivatives are not used, Grow bags made from Clear Earth resins are less sensitive to moisture and variations in weather, thus making it more durable.

Compostable courier/ mailer bags from Clear Earth resins offers matt finish and silky feel which will complement the luxury of product being packed whilst being eco-friendly. Clear Earth resins ensures waterproof, tough & durable courier/ mailer bag due to its excellent moisture barrier being free from starch or starch derivatives.

Durable side seal strength and reliable bond with adhesive glue strip will be the special attributes of mailer bags made from Clear Earth resins.

Ensure to remove all labels and adhesive strip if made from plastic prior to disposal for composting.

We offer Home compostable as well as industrial compostable Clear Earth grades for manufacturing Courier/ mailer bags.

Mulch films made from Clear Earth excel due to their ease of machinability and ground laying compatibility. Mulch films made from Clear Earth have the advantage that they do not biodegrade too quickly during their protective function on the surface of the field. However, they do biodegrade steadily once ploughed into the soil after use.

For use as diaper backsheet or femcare products.The unique combination of breathability while maintaining a barrier to water vapour is particularly suitable for the production of diaper back sheet and other similar hygiene products. Clear Earth F 1130 has a pleasing, soft feel even though it has been produced as blown film. With films made from polyethylene such a smooth surface can only be produced by using an embossed cast film.

Food packaging has to fulfill complex tasks. In addition to the protection of the goods, it must also meet the corresponding mechanical requirements at various temperatures along with filling processes. We can meet these requirements with the help of a wide range of resins – whether as mono-films or in co-extrusion; whether biodegradable or bio-based, together we will find the right solution for your product.

Clear Earthresin coated paper cups would be not only disposable but also truly compostable. Bio-Flex resin can be coated on the same equipment of LDPE coating & Clear Earth lined paper cups can be formed on the same paper cup machine used for forming LDPE lined paper cups, so it’s drop in solution.

For the production of extrusion-coated paper/ board, you have the possibility to use a compostable resin from the Clear Earth family or a bio-based Green PE compound resin from the Terralene® family. Dependent upon how your product will be disposed off, one or the other solution is recommended.

Being single use plastic (SUP) item, disposable cutlery (Spoon, Fork, Knife & chop stick) should be biodegradable & compostable now in various countries for which Bio-Flex resins are the most preferred options due to proper injection moulding & adequate strength and stiffness as per the requirement and choice.

For the production of variety of disposable tableware items like plates, bowls, trays, glasses etc, we have a comprehensive portfolio of bio-based, biodegradable and compostable resins which are drop-in solutions for sheet extrusion & thermoforming process. If you need transparent trays and shells, we recommend the use of our partially bio-based PET or pure PLA. However, if you want to produce a biodegradable and better heat-resistant tableware, we recommend the use of Clear Earth F 6611.

It consists of more than 60% renewable raw materials, is biodegradable and compostable and heat-resistant up to 70 °C thus suitable for cold beverages as well as warm food items.

Compostable straws extruded from Clear Earth have much better dimensional stability along with optimum balance between stiffness and elasticity. This enables manufacturing bend as well as U shaped straws on existing bending machine with minimal wastage.

Clear Earth resins boasts an excellent balance of strength, stiffness, flexibility and processability for manufacturing plain/ bend/ U bend straws.

It can be processed on existing straw extrusion lines with higher speeds similar to PP straws. Further processing like bending also would happen on existing machines. Clear Earth resins are approved for direct food contact and contains no heavy metals. Straws made from Clear Earth resin are durable & compostable after disposal if disposed off in wet waste system.

Compostable straws made from ‘Clear Earth’ Home as well as Industrial compostable PLA Compound resins would be most effective Environment friendly alternative to plastic straw.

For the production of transparent blister packaging, we currently offer two products: on the one hand a partially bio-based PET and on the other hand a biodegradable PLA. Both products are distinguished by their high transparency.

Nettings should be biodegradable or purely bio-based, depending on the application. We have both options for you in our portfolio. For the production of bio-based nettings, we recommend the use of Green HDPE SHE 150. If you are looking for a biodegradable solution, Clear Earth F 2110 is especially recommended because it has a strong toughness and a good restoring force. With Clear Earth you can produce both extruded and knitted nettings.

The combination of different substrates like paper, foil & various plastic films usually serves to meet the high requirements of a packed product, such as certain barrier values, stiffness, high end printing etc. Depending on the requirements you want to achieve, we have the most diverse Bioplastics within our portfolio. All the alternatives as per your choice will ensures smooth lamination & excellent heat seal performance on Form Fill & Seal (FFS) machines.

This may be a partially bio-based PET, a bio-based PE or even a biodegradable/ compostable plastic such as Clear Earth . The possibility of combinations is diverse. Please contact us for more information.

For the production of bottles and canisters using a blow moulding process, we offer different products from our Green PE range. Especially Green HDPE SGF 4950 or SGF 4960 are recommended. As a “drop-in” solution all Green PE grades can be processed like conventional polyethylene. Recycling of Green PE is comparable to conventional polyethylene; Green PE is 100% recyclable.

Caps and closures can be made from various bio-based or biodegradable Clear Earth  bioplastics. Undercuts and film hinges are also possible with our plastics. Some grades are characterized by a special ratio of stiffness and elasticity, even for complex forms. Below you can see which of our bioplastics are suitable for caps and closures.

We offer different granules for the production of injection moulded containers and bins. You can choose from a variety of bio-based and biodegradable products.

Our packaging keeps what your products promise. In general, consumers are well informed about the ingredients within certain products. More and more, the emphasis is placed on “natural” cosmetic products and consumers spend time searching for them. It remains a fact that cosmetics are a life-style statement and an affirmation of one’s personality.

Packaging from renewable raw materials supports the natural message of your cosmetics brand and stands out from the mass of traditional packaging.
