Developments in the field of compostable plastics are very interesting, both technically and economically.
For professional horticulture, carrier and growing trays made of compostable plastics offer significant advantages in terms of waste management, labor efficiency, and sustainability. They are especially 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 conducted various trials in professional horticulture and are also exploring applications in consumer products. All 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 work with them truly successfully. We aren't 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.
