Products made from bio-based plastics must undergo the same testing procedures as conventional plastic products to access the market of the European Union (EU). Thereby a health risk for consumers is excluded. Biodegradable or compostable plastics must undergo additional tests.

Biodegradable plastics certified for industrial composting have to meet a fixed limit for heavy metals and other toxic and hazardous substances

Bio-based plastics can lock away vast quantities of CO2 in durable, recyclable applications and make a real contribution to climate protection. All that is needed for this is the right product design and a functioning circular economy. By focusing more on this approach, the plastics sector has the chance to evolve into a key industry of a green economy.

Furniture and furnishings with a long service life are the ideal applications for bioplastics

Different kinds of methods are available for the processing of bead foams. Common to all processes is the welding of the single expanded beads, which can be challenging. A research project shows that the process can also be carried out with blends of PLA and polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate PHBV.

Carbon-Neutral and Wood-Based Plastic Material

Woodly’s heat-sealed bags serves for food-to-go products on long-distance trains.

Finland’s railway company VR Group Plc. VR Group has chosen Woodly’s heat-sealed bags as their new packaging application for food-to-go products on long-distance trains.

Made from carbon-neutral and wood-based Woodly plastic material, the heat-sealed bags are a sustainable form of packaging that will ensure longer product freshness and reduce food waste. VR plans to raise more awareness about sustainable packaging solutions by supporting a Finnish innovation and partnering with Woodly. 

“In addition to carbon-neutral travel, we want to enable our customers to make responsible choices in the restaurant car as well. We prefer products from small domestic producers in our selections, and now we are also developing our packaging materials in an increasingly sustainable direction with Woodly’s wood-based and carbon-neutral material,” says Markku Sammal from VR.

After a successful launch earlier this spring, the Woodly heat-sealed bags have made their way across different shelves all over Finland due to collaborations with notable wholesalers and brands. Moving forward, travelling consumers will recognize Woodly on long-distance trains as well.

<a href="https://woodly.com/" target="_blank">Woodly Oy</a> is a Finnish company developing materials technology, whose commercial product is a new type of plastic based on wood cellulose. Woodly material has the same characteristics as conventional fossil plastics but with the added benefit of being carbon-neutral and recyclable. In addition to packaging, it can be used to produce products for different uses.

“We are excited about the opportunity to offer a wood-based and sustainable packaging solution to VR and also to the travelling consumer at the restaurant car. The fact that Woodly is now a part of long-distance public transport is a great milestone for us,” comments Jaakko Kaminen, Woodly’s CEO.
