Biostarch offers the cost-effective, EN13432 certified, OK Compost mark approved, fully biodegradable and 100% compostable biopolymer shopping bag solution and film for packaging. Biostarch products also meet the ASTM-6400-99 American Standard for Compostable Plastics and AS4736-2006 Australian Biodegradable Standard.

Features: The unique biodegradable and compostable nature of the Biostarch film is demonstrated by its ability to be dissolved in hot water. The rapid disintegration in a natural environment can be seen in this photograph, showing a Biostarch bag before and after 3 months in the soil of an Australian garden.

  • Comparable strength to plastic bags
  • Made principally from the renewable energy resource maize starch
  • Does not contain the conventional plastic constituents such as polyethylene and polypropylene
  • Can be re-used (encouraged)
  • Ideally suited for dry goods
  • but tolerates short term exposure to moisture
