Degradable in home compost
M·VERA® B5033 is a plastic compound developed for blow-moulded film applications and has a biobased carbon content of over 50% in the compound. M·VERA® B5033 is certified by TÜV AUSTRIA as OK compost HOME in accordance with NF T51-800 [11-2015], based on the criteria set out below.
M·VERA® B5033 fulfils the requirements for contact with food and is ideal for packaging, fruit and vegetable bags and shopping bags.
Thanks to its high tear resistance and low density M·VERA® B5033 combines robustness with lightness. The material also impresses with its pleasant feel. The material can also be processed on conventional machines.
