The partnership of Polymateria and Toppan Specialty Films has launched a new bio-transformed packaging plastic film. The partnership claims that this packaging film biodegrades in just 176 days. It leaves behind no toxins. The partnership claims that it is an environmentally sustainable option to traditional packaging plastic films.  The non-biodegradable nature of traditional plastics is a major environmental problem. 

Nialle Dunne, CEO of Polymateria said, “I’m delighted to be announcing our record-speed biodegradation here in India given the leadership role the country is playing on tackling plastic pollution. In a market the size of India, multiple solutions will be needed and our technology provides an additional route by making plastic fully biodegradable in the ambient environment. Working with sustainability champions like Toppan gives me great hope that by coming together the industry will rise to the challenge.”
