3. PLANTIC’S RAW MATERIAL
OUR POLYMER ( HIGH AMYLOSE ) IS CREATED BY
NATURE ...
Starch is found in plants including maize, potato, rice, wheat,
tapioca
Regular starch has ~ 17% amylose, ~ 80% amylopectin
Plantic’s starch has ~ 80% amylose, ~ 17% amylopectin
Cooked starch – not a “filler” : NOT PLA
Easier to process- behaves like a thermoplastic
Linear Amylose molecule
Glucose molecules connected by (1,4) glucosidic linkagesα
Highly branched Amylopectin molecule
Short (1,4) glucose chains linked by (1,6) glucosidicα α
linkages
Amylose
(linear structure)
Amylopectin
(branched
structure)

7. PERFECT FOR MEAT, CHEESES,
PASTA AND OUR GRANDKIDS
New eco Plastic™ offers numerous
environmental advantages :
•Highest renewable content - lowest in class
carbon footprint
•Each tonne is equivalent to removing 1 car
from the road for a year or planting 421 new
trees

per year
•Energy consumption is approximately half that
of a comparable traditional plastic barrier PP,
barrier PET tray or PLA tray

8. SAVES YOU MONEY
YET DOESN’T COST THE EARTH
New eco Plastic™ can improve your margins :
•Longer shelf time means reduced discounting

MATERIAL
The only ultra high barrier packaging that can be recycled.
With our new product in the recycling process the PET is
recovered, and the Plantic will biodegrade into the waste
water.
Matching PET barrier lidding film available
Other barrier structures are not able to be recycled because
the barrier resin EVOH acts as a contaminant.
