From corn starch, a revolutionary biodegradable material called Mater-Bi has been developed. Mater-Bi leaves no metal or toxic residue, thanks to its natural composition. During composting, micro-organisms transform Mater-Bi into water, carbon dioxide and humus at a degradation rate similar to that of paper.

Mineral water bottles made from PET are reduced to flakes, granulated, dehumidified, extruded, quenched and solidified to create a substance called ECO-REC, a new eco-friendly material which can be made into pens and other products.

The aluminium foil layer sandwiched between the polyethylene and paper contained in Tetrapak containers eg. milk cartons is extruded and separated from the fibre stock which is re-used for paper manufacture. The recovered aluminium and plastic is used to produce the Tetrapak Recycled range of products featured in the Eco-Firendly section.
