PTTMCC Collaborates with Compostify on Drop-In Home-Compostable Bioplastic from New Zealand
As global regulations tighten and demand for verifiable compostable solutions increases, manufacturers, converters, and brand owners need materials that are both scalable and truly compostable. PTT MCC Biochem (PTTMCC) is collaborating with Compostify, a clean-tech innovator from New Zealand that offers a drop-in bioplastic solution.
Compostify’s patent-pending home-compostable bioplastic is made from a blend of BioPBS, PLA, and biowaste products. It offers the durability of conventional plastic while naturally decomposing in soil within a year. It requires no industrial composting, produces no microplastics, and leaves no toxic residues. While it’s commonly known that available compostable plastics can be blended together to achieve desired properties, many times those properties come with the cost of being only industrially compostable. Compostify has found and patented a way to formulate stiffer compounds with bioPBS that are still home compostable and biodegradable in soil.
The Compostify advantage is engineered for performance, compostability, and ease of adoption:
- Seamless Integration: Runs on existing plastic manufacturing equipment — no retooling, no costly process changes
- Proven Performance: Designed to be shelf-stable for years, last up to 12 months in nurseries, withstand handling, and fully degrade in soil after use, as tested by Scion
- Market-Ready Sustainability: DIN CERTCO certified home compostable, Scion CRI certified non-toxic, BPI and EU standard compostable and home compostable in progress
- Bypass Recycled Materials Requirements: Compostify’s materials avoid the need to make expensive changes to the supply chain and production to utilize higher percentages of recycled plastic in future products
- Going Beyond Plant Pots: Compostify’s materials can be adapted for packaging, consumer goods, and industrial applications, making it a scalable alternative to single-use plastics
Innovated in New Zealand’s globally recognized clean-tech ecosystem, where innovation meets environmental responsibility, Compostify is backed by BridgeWest NZ and former Glassdoor and Zapier CMO Moody Glasgow. The company exemplifies New Zealand’s commitment to sustainable solutions that work without compromising performance.
Compostify is a drop-in bioplastic solution that meets industry needs, provides a market-ready sustainability win for brand owners, and offers distributors a truly compostable material that satisfies both regulatory and consumer demands. The next generation of bioplastics is here.
