Sustainability
Corn starch is made from corn, which is sustainable, renewable and easy to produce. It doesn't contain harmful chemicals or toxins that are commonly found in conventional plastics.
Cornstarch "plastic" products look and feel just like regular plastic, but they are 100% biodegradable and compostable.
Compostable products are certified to break down completely into non-toxic components (water, carbon dioxide) that will not harm the environment. Eco Green Living compostable products are proven to break down within 6 months on land and 2 years in the ocean. This can put your mind at ease, knowing that eventually no trace of your purchase will be left on the planet.

Yes! Our compostable cling film is certified with the European standard EN 13432. This defines the characteristics a finished product must fulfil in order to be recovered through organic recovery. This certificate certifies the product as compostable and fits these criteria:
• is biodegradable under composting conditions.
• disintegrates completely in one composting cycle.
• has no toxic effects and does not release heavy metals over a given value into the compost
• has no negative effect on the composting process itself.
The certificate is achieved through rigorous testing including Disintegration test ; Non-toxic test, Heavy metal content test ; Compost test.
Our 100% compostable cling film is made up of the following:
• About 97% PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate) biodegradable & compostable
• about 3% PLA (Polylactide, which is made from waste corn and other plants) biodegradable & compostable
PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate) is a fully biodegradable polymer. PBAT combines some of the beneficial attributes of synthetic and bio based polymers. It is derived from common petrochemicals- purified terephthalic acid, butanediol and adipic acid. It is fully biodegradable.
When buried in real soil environments, it breaks down completely and leaves no toxic residues behind.
Polylactic Acid (PLA) is different than most thermoplastic polymers in that it is derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugar cane. It is therefore fully plant based.
Why is PBAT blended with PLA?
The results indicated that the durability and toughness properties were greatly improved when PLA is blended with PBAT.
It is made in China.
