Degradable Film: PLA/PBAT Biodegradable Packaging
Fully biodegradable under industrial composting (EN 13432, ASTM D6400). 3-6 month degradation cycle. Close to PE performance.
Product Overview
Degradable films use PLA (polylactic acid), PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate), starch-based materials, or composite formulations. Under industrial composting conditions or natural soil environments, they can be decomposed by microorganisms into CO₂, water, and biomass. BridgeX Pack provides blown-film-grade degradable material formulations, supporting bag, film roll, and liner forms.
Product Features
Fully Biodegradable
Industrial composting (58°C): >90% degradation in 90 days. EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 compliant.
Soil Degradable
Some formulations degrade in natural soil within 6-12 months. Suitable for mulch films.
Performance Close to PE
Tensile strength and elongation reach 80-90% of conventional PE through blending modification.
Food-Contact Safe
PLA/PBAT materials comply with FDA and EU food-contact regulations.
Printable
Supports flexo and gravure printing. Print adhesion comparable to PE film.
