Biodegradable polymers with controlled end-of-life.

HUMICUR®

HUMICUR® is developed for industries seeking controlled biodegradability in their products. Made primarily from hemicellulose side streams, HUMICUR® currently contains up to 60% biobased carbon content (ASTM D6866). It is developed for applications such as underground (drainage) tubing and agricultural applications. HUMICUR®’s biodegradation can be monitored and controlled; it is industrially compostable per EN 13432 (Letter of Opinion covering the HUMICUR® product family).

Non-persistency

Adjustable degradation time – test data per environment on request

Benefit from high functionality with
biobased content and controlled degradation:

  • Processable on extrusion and injection molding equipment
  • Soil degradability - upcoming in water - and industrial compostability
  • Up to 60% biobased content

Future-focused biodegradability detection and prediction

The material shows very high performance in applications like tubing, offering excellent pressure resistance and ductility.

Degradation Curve

Non-persistency is a relatively new term for slow but complete biodegradation. ​

Slow biodegradation is any degradation that falls outside existing certification.  ​ ​

B4Plastics products are developed to combine longevity for durable wear-out applications with controlled (sufficiently slow) biodegradability.

Production Facilities

Pilot Plants up to 10-ton customized production per week.In TRL stages 5 to 8, we scale from kg to ton scale in 4 sequential steps, if necessary.
Our stainless-steel plants can typically handle high viscous polymeric materials under increased temperature and pressure.

TriggerPlastics

HUMICUR® is a product of our TriggerPlastics technology.

Micro-plastics are unavoidable; due to wear and tear, plastics disintegrate and end up in the environment. One moment plastics should offer performance in the application; the next moment the generated microplastics need to be gone, for instance by means of the stimulus or ‘triggers’ applied to them such as our TriggerPlastics. Our TriggerPlastics act as: Substitutes for Polyolefins, PVOH and PEG.
