Properties

M·VERA® GP1025

Rigid and high proportion of renewable raw materials

M·VERA^® GP1025 is certified by TÜV AUSTRIA as OK compost INDUSTRIAL according to EN 13432, based on the criteria set out below. This means that it is industrially compostable. M·VERA® GP1025 contains over 98% renewable raw materials in the polymer. The material is also suitable for direct food contact, making it ideal for use in the catering industry as packaging or storage in the food industry, or as crockery.

The material offers very high rigidity and strength which also makes it ideal for technical products. With a heat resistance of over 110 °C (depending on processing and post-treatment), it shows remarkable thermal stability. Its light grey appearance gives the end product a modern look. M·VERA^® GP1025 can be easily moulded on conventional injection moulding machines, which makes it a versatile and practical choice for a wide range of applications.

Criteria for certification by TÜV AUSTRIA in accordance with

OK compost INDUSTRIAL (according to EN 13432)

Testing for certain limit values of heavy metals must first be successfully completed
The tests are carried out at approx. 60 °C:
1. Disintegration (end product): Min. 90 % must disintegrate within 12 weeks; remaining parts must not be larger than 2 mm
2. Biodegradation (powder): Min. 90 % within 6 months; measurement of CO₂
Ecotoxicity test: Growth test with two plant species
