BIO-FED produces and markets biodegradable and/or biobased plastic under the brand name M∙VERA®. The product portfolio comprises biocompounds with a share of renewable resources ranging from 30 to 100%. As a branch of AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH, a specialist for innovative customer-oriented plastic compounds, BIO-FED is part of the international Feddersen Group which has its head office in Hamburg.
In order to meet the legal requirements of the bioplastics sector in France and Italy, among other countries, BIO-FED offers compounds with a correspondingly high proportion of renewable raw materials (biobased carbon content over 50%) and variable end-of-life scenarios such as OK compost INDUSTRIAL, OK compost HOME and OK biodegradable SOIL. Possible application segments are:
- Biodegradable compounds for injection moulding applications (e.g. coffee capsules, drinking straws and disposable cutlery)
- Compounds for the production of home-compostable films for starch-based bag applications (e.g. fruit and vegetable bags)
- Compounds for the production of biodegradable films for agricultural applications (e.g. mulch films)
All M·VERA® compounds can be colored individually – for example with the AF-Eco® biopolymer based masterbatches which are certified by TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium in accordance with EN 13432. The AF-Eco® range consists of color and carbon black masterbatches as well as additive masterbatches.
"With our extensive, constantly expanding portfolio of innovative bioplastics compounds, we are making a contribution to waste avoidance by supplying alternatives to conventional plastics and thus also helping to reduce the carbon footprint," says Dr. Stanislaw Haftka, Head of Sales at BIO-FED.
