Compostable plastics: M-plastics customers are the first to have them

Developments in the field of compostable plastics are very interesting, both technically and commercially.

For professional horticulture, carrier and growing trays made from compostable plastics offer significant advantages in terms of waste processing, labor efficiency, and sustainability. They are, above all, a sustainable and effective solution for trays that are contaminated with organic material after use – making them impossible to clean or recycle.

At the forefront with M-plastics

At M-plastics, we have been researching and testing the possibilities of home-compostable and soil-compostable materials for years.

We have now carried out various trials in professional horticulture and are also exploring applications in consumer products. Everything with one goal: to be able to serve our customers the moment a compostable plastic becomes available – that is economically viable, technically easy to process, and suitable for cultivation and growing.

Only when all these factors come together can our customers truly work with it successfully. We are not there yet, but we are on the right track – and we are determined to take this step so that our customers can benefit from it in the future.
