Biodegradable materials

Renewable starch for films, cups and food boxes

Biodegradable materials

Gaofeng's starch-based biodegradable plastic thickeners and materials are thermoplastic: they soften when heated and set on cooling, so they can be blow-moulded, extruded or injection-moulded into films, cups and boxes. Under natural conditions they break down into non-toxic substances.
