THE PROJECT
BORN is a circular, SSbD, biobased polymer formulation that is biodegradable, compostable, thermal resistant, suitable for food contact and low cost.
BORN is a bio-based low-cost polymer formulation that can be used to fabricate biodegradable thermal-resistant food packaging, as well as a variety of products that require resistance to high temperature. This is a groundbreaking innovation for biodegradable and biobased polymers that can generally withstand temperatures not higher than 50-55 °C.
