Biodolomer® T is a biodegradable and industrially compostable bioplastic for sheet extrusion and thermoforming. GAIA has achieved great success by adding minerals to its patented method.

Biodolomer® T bioplastics can be broken down by microorganisms. In the process, the microorganisms emit enzymes which break down the polymer chains of the material into smaller molecular components. These are subsequently absorbed by bacteria and fungi, metabolized and, in the process, converted into carbon dioxide, water and biomass.

The biodegradability of Biodolomer® T has confirmed by approved, independent institutes based on clear test criteria. Furthermore, practical tests in composting systems show that thin-walled extrudates made of Biodolomer® T, such as planting pots, fully biodegrades in an electric composting unit in 72 hours.

Biodolomer® T is very well suited for several applications and end-products, such as planting pots and horticultural trays, food packaging, single-use trays and plates, medical packaging, single-use drinking cups, consumer and industrial packaging, and many more.
