| Mirel F3002 thermoforming food contact grade is suitable for a wide range of thermoformed food service and packaging applications including cold and hot cups, cup lids, yogurt containers, tubs and trays for meats and vegetables, condiment cups, other single-serve and disposable food packaging. The material is suitable for storage as well as food service, from frozen food storage and microwave reheating to boiling water up to 212°F. 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. Telles is a joint venture between Metabolix and Archer Daniels Midland Company. |
