About the Product Family
BIO-FED offers a wide range of compounds for injection moulding. All compounds can be processed on conventional injection moulding machines and with standard moulds.
Compounds with recycled content
Our M·CYCLOSE® compounds contain recycled materials. These recycled materials either come from products that have already completed a life cycle with consumers (PCR = Post Consumer Recyclate), or from waste products from industry, such as start-up materials from plastics processing (PIR = Post Industrial Recyclate). In both cases, using recycled material can reduce the proportion of virgin material in the respective compound.
Our M·CYCLOSE® materials contain varying proportions of 'post-consumer' or 'post-industrial' recyclates. These recyclates are used in our compounds either as a base material or as a filler. We specify the origin and the percentage of recycled material for each compound.

Biomass-balanced or biobased compounds
Most of our M·BIOBASE® compounds consist, amongst other things, of biomass-balanced polypropylene (PP), which is derived wholly or partly from renewable raw materials such as vegetable oils and waste oils. These selected compounds are certified to ISCC PLUS, which ensures the traceability of the massbalanced material flow throughout the entire value chain. The proportion of ISCC-certified bio-circular material is sourced and allocated to the relevant compound in accordance with the ISCC mass balance approach, and is stated separately by us for each compound.

Biodegradable Compounds
Our M∙VERA® bioplastics contain varying proportions of renewable raw materials and polymers, with degradability specified for each compound. The relevant certifications from independent institutes are specified for each compound, e.g. for industrial composting (OK compost INDUSTRIAL in accordance with EN 13432), home composting (OK compost HOME in accordance with NF T51-800 [11-2015]) or soil biodegradability (OK biodegradable SOIL in accordance with ISO 17556/EN 13432 or Biodegradable in Soil in accordance to EN 17033:2018-03 for mulch films) under defined conditions. Further details follow below.
