Derived from renewable resources, Cardia Compostable resins are soft touch, colourable and printable. We can develop compounds for specific customer needs and offer a base compostable resin range. Typical compostable resin applications include:
Flexible Films to 120 microns – Mulch film, over wrap, shrink wrap, shopping bags, waste bags
Coating and Laminates – Cartons, indoor signage
Injection moldings – Closures, clips, labels, tags, utensils, pens
Blow moldings – Containers, bottles
Cardia Bioplastics can also tailor compounds to suit your specific customer applications.

Cardia Compostable

Cardia Biohybrid™ resins allow you to embrace sustainable packaging early and enable you to immediately: 
Increase the renewable content of your products by up to 50%
Reduce your carbon footprint
This high performance range has a wide processing and application window as detailed on the Cardia Biohybrid™ data sheets. These resins are colourable and printable, and can be converted on your existing equipment to make these typical applications:
Films – Over wrap, shrink wrap, shopping bags, waste bags
Injection moldings – Closures, utensils, pens
Blow moldings – Bottles, containers
Extrusions – Thermoformed trays, foam sheet, sheet, profiles
Coatings – Cartons, indoor signage

Cardia Biohybrid

Cardia Compostable™ B-F is a biodegradable and compostable resin based on a blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS), aliphatic polyesters and natural plasticizers. This grade of resin is compatibilised to offer a high level of mechanical strength, outstanding elongation properties and toughness. The resin is based on corn starch which is a renewable material.Cardia Compostable B-F resin is certified biodegradable during composting in professionally managed composting facilities. Complies with International Standard ISO16929, ISO 14855 Certified compostable for blown film applications up to 120 microns. Cardia Compostable B-F complies with: European Standard EN13432, USA Standard ASTM 6400, Australian Standard AS 4736 and Japanese "GreenPla" Standard Chinese Environmental Labeling. Cardia Compostable B-F is a completely biodegradable polymer suitable for the manufacturing of film-type products. It can be directly used in the film blowing process. It does not contain any non-degradable polymers such as PE, PP, PS and PVC. Independent university testing shows that after biodegradation Cardia Compostable B-F does not leave any harmful residues.This film grade has been evaluated for compostability in accordance with international standard ISO 16929 (2002-11- 01) "Plastics — Determination of the Degree of Disintegration of Plastic Materials under Defined Composting Conditions in a Pilot Scale Test". According to the European certification scheme for biodegradable materials, Performance Standard EN 13432, the pass threshold for this test is 90% of the material passing through a 2 mm sieve after the 12 week test period.The testing shows that the plastic film samples used in this test are completely compostable as demonstrated by their 100% disintegration after 3 months and &gt; 90% mineralization in less than 6 months. In the laboratory scale composting test according to ISO 14855: 1999 Cardia Compostable B-F film grade resin reached 90% biodegradation relative to cellulose reference material and meets the biodegradability requirement specified in the EN 13432 standard.Application Examples Compostable bags Shopping bags/Check-out bags Garbage bags Leaf litter bags Green bin liners Produce and meat liners Overwrap Packaging Mulch film Breathable film.

Cardia Compostable™ B-F

Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-M is based on a blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and polyolefin's. This grade of resin is compatibilised to offer a high level of mechanical strength, good elongation properties and toughness. The resin is based on corn starch which is an annually renewable material. A hybrid masterbatch with high content of renewable resources in Polypropylene (PP) for molding rigid products. For applications where the use of renewable resources or sustainability are desired and Biodegradability is not required. Can be used by blending Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-M masterbatch with PP in injection molding and extrusion applications. Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-M is formulated with 66% of annually renewable starch. This versatile material is suitable for a wide range of products manufactured by injection molding, extrusion or blow molding processes. Due its content of polyolefins the material is not a fully biodegradable polymer and is not intended for ultimate disposal in commercial composting facilities. For applications in which biodegradability/compostability is required we recommend the usage of Cardia Compostable B-M or T-BM resin.Application Examples Injection molded products such as cutlery, toothbrushes, combs, shavers, golf-tees, etc. Stakes and pegs Horticultural products such as flower pots, planters and stakes Injection molded caps and closures Sheet extruded products such food trays, tubs, disposable plates, strapping and labels Blow molded bottles and toys Profile extruded products such as candy sticks and disposable drinking straws

Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-M

Cardia Compostable™ B-M is a biodegradable and compostable resin based on a blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS), biodegradable polyesters and natural plasticizers. This grade of resin is compatibilised to offer a high level of mechanical strength, impact resistance and toughness. The resin is based on corn starch which is a renewable material. It is a biodegradable and compostable resin, greater than 98% biodegradability when tested to ISO14855 designed to be used for injection molding and profile extrusion.

Cardia Compostable™ B-M

Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-F masterbatch is a homogenous blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS) with polyethylene (PE). This blendable grade is compatibilised to offer a high level of mechanical strength, outstanding elongation properties and toughness. The resin is based on corn starch which is a renewable material. This TPS/PE masterbatch can be blended with a wide range of polyolefin materials to tailor a product with properties perfectly matched to the application. A Biohybrid resin for film applications offering a significant reduction in carbon footprint (compared to PE) An effective contribution to sustainability where biodegradability/compostability is not required. Blendable with LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE and PP resins. Used for thin and thick gage film and blow molding applications. Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-F is formulated with 66% of annually renewable starch. This versatile resin is suitable for a wide range of products manufactured by blown film extrusion and extrusion blow molding as well as injection molding processes. Due its content of polyolefins the material is not a compostable polymer and is not intended for ultimate disposal in commercial composting facilities. For applications in which biodegradability/compostability is required we recommend the usage of Cardia Compostable B-F resin.Application Examples Shopping bags/Check-out bags Garbage bags Leaf litter bags Bin liners Overwrap Packaging Disposable or industrial bottles
