ecoPLAS® is a drop-in ready biodegradable (ASTM D5511) and compostable (ASTM D5338) limestone (CaC03) based pellet material that conforms to the FDA food contact safe (G.R.A.S.) specification and is suitable for Thermoforming/Sheet, 3D printing and Injection Molding. Additionally, our material continues to sequester carbon dioxide for the life of an object, one manufactured product at a time.
Less Material, Less CO2, no processing or equipment changes.
