The Science Behind the Solution

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a bioplastic used in many short-lived packaging items used on a daily basis. Until now, its compostability was possible only under industrial conditions at high temperatures.

CARBIOS Active masterbatch makes PLA compostable in any soil environment and at ambient temperature. This revolutionary breakthrough transforms how brands can approach sustainable packaging.

Our enzyme technology ensures complete disintegration and biodegradation at room temperature, eliminating the need for specialized industrial composting facilities while maintaining product integrity during shelf life.
