| Mirel P5001 is a high biobased content film grade with a high melt strength designed for blown and cast film extrusion. It is heat sealable and has excellent tensile properties, good puncture toughness, and tear propagation resistance. BPI certified to ASTM D6400 and Vincotte certified to EN 13432 standards for compostable plastics. About Mirel Bioplastics Mirel is a family of bioplastic materials that have physical properties comparable to petroleum-based resins, yet are both biobased and biodegradable in natural soil and water environments, home composting systems, and industrial composting facilities, where these facilities are available. The rate and extent of Mirel's biodegradablility will depend on the size and shape of the articles made from it. However, like nearly all bioplastics and organic matter, Mirel is not designed to biodegrade in conventional landfills. Example applications include retail carry bags; yard waste/kitchen compost bags for use in home or commercial composting facilities;anaerobic digestion where facilities are available; and for agricultural films where biodegradability in soil is a primary benefit. Telles is a joint venture between Metabolix and Archer Daniels Midland Company. |
