BioPBS™ partially (bio-based polybutylene succinate) is revolutionary in its two-fold bio properties. Bio-based: Using advanced technology from Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, it is both bio-based and biodegradable plastic. Composable: Derived from natural resources, such as sugarcane cassava and corn, BioPBS™ is compostable into biomass, carbon dioxide and water. Products made from BioPBS™ can be disposed of along with organic waste. BioPBS™ has no adverse effects on the environment and is naturally compostable, without requiring a specialized composting facility.
