OF BIODEGRADABLE
POLYMERS
BIOBAS together with the LABORATORIO DE MATERIALI POLIMERICI ECOCOMPATIBILI (LMPE), an entity affiliated to INSTM (Consorzio Interuniversitario Nazionale per la Scienza e La Tecnologia Dei Materiali) in Italy, offers services aimed at developing and optimizing biodegradable polymers that meet the customer’s technical and economic needs. For this purpose we have extensive technical capabilities, such as:
Polymer Laboratory
Processing Laboratory
Biodegradation Laboratory
Chemical Laboratory
Spectroscopy Laboratory
Research and development services for new biodegradable plastic products. These services are intended for those cases where a standard resin cannot be applied according to the client’s requirements and the creation of a new biodegradable compound is required. Professionals with more than 30 years of experience in the field of bioplastics will provide a solution according to your needs and respectful with the environment.

TESTS
LMPE as a laboratory accredited by TÜV AUSTRIA can perform biodegradability and compostability tests on bioplastics. In this way LMPE, through its tests, will enable its customers to obtain the OK Compost INDUSTRIAL, OK Compost HOME, OK BIODEGRADABLE SOIL and SEEDLING labels. TÜV AUSTRIA’s environmental verification mark is widely recognized internationally and offers a customized certification label for each biodegradation environment.
These services are aimed at improving or optimizing one or more properties of an existing biodegradable plastic in order to adapt it to the demands of the industry or regulations in force. Within the different optimization services we can offer:
Improvement of mechanical or thermal properties
Addition of functionalities such as a nutritional asset
Regulation of the biodegradation rate
Acceleration of the biodegradation rate
Incorporation of waste in order to meet circular economy objectives, among others
