Compofilt
Compostable Tea Bag Paper
As we all know, nowadays products that contain plastic but are not compostable can become a big problem. This concern has inspired us to develop a new family of products called COMPOFILT.
Our new COMPOFILT meets the EN 13432 standard on material compostability, with the natural disintegration process occurring within 10 weeks. COMPOFILT also holds the four-star OK Biobased certification, indicating the highest percentage of renewable raw materials.
Our new filter paper offers a plastic-free and certified compostable alternative. The technology consists of replacing plastic with PLA, a material that has the same properties, but is renewable, biodegradable and compostable.
PLA is a biopolymer derived entirely from sugar extracts of annually grown plants (corn). PLA meets the food contact requirements for the hot beverage industry and is compostable according to EN13432.
