Degradable in the soil without microplastics
M·VERA® A5002 is a biodegradable plastic compound that complies with EN 17033 Biodegradable in Soil and is therefore fully biodegradable in soil. It is food compliant and safe for applications that require contact with food. Its very good tear resistance and low density ensure excellent specific properties.
M·VERA® A5002 has an opaque appearance and can be easily combined with the specially developed AF-Eco® black masterbatch. It can be easily applied on conventional blown film lines and was specially developed for the production of mulch films. The combination of these properties makes M·VERA® A5002 an excellent choice for the production of films for agriculture.
