Cortec introduces new bioplastics product Eco Works 100

-

Cortec has introduced Eco Works 100, a new bioplastics product emphasizing high biobased content. This certified industrially compostable packaging film, verified by (TUV Austria #TA8012509046), boasts 100% USDA-certified biobased content. It aims to cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives to conventional plastics. Eco Works 100 expands bioplastic choices in the market, offering a sustainable option for consumers seeking to reduce reliance on petroleum-based products.

Eco Works 100 addresses sustainability at both ends of the product life cycle. Made from renewable raw materials, the bioplastic film contains 100% biobased content, according to the company. At the end of its use, it is designed to break down in industrial composting environments without harming the soil. This was demonstrated through a germination test, where sunflower seeds were planted in compost containing Eco Works 100 resin. The results showed comparable germination rates and seedling growth to the control sample, meeting the standards of ASTM D6400 and indicating low ecotoxicity.

With tightening government regulations reinforcing popular trends toward sustainability, compostable and biobased plastic options now encompass a wide range of products, from compostable disposable cutlery to biobased mailer bags. While Cortec does its share of contributing to bioplastic portfolio diversity with a long line of specialty bioplastics – including industrially compostable stretch film, shrink wrap, corrosion inhibiting film, and organics waste collection bags – Eco Works 100 fills a special place that many bioplastics do not, thanks to its high level of renewable content combined with compostability. Eco Works 100 therefore, presents a key opportunity to create a range of 100% biobased bags – whether for shopping, waste disposal, or various other industrial or commercial uses – that can easily meet the requirements for certification as industrially compostable material.
