PIONEERING A
NEW GENERATION

OF MATERIALS

We have developed a new kind of material, based on agricultural plant leftovers - working with nature, not against it. With our material innovation, we're building a circular, bio-based future and supporting the transition to decarbonization.

WE USE PLANT RESIDUES
TO CREATE A NOVEL GENERATION OF BIOMATERIALS

traceless® materials can replace plastics in applications that are hard to recycle or easily to end up in the environment - such as single-use items, packaging, paper coatings or adhesives. Our materials enable converters to produce regenerative, nature-based products that work like plastic, but disappear like nature.

FOR NATURALLY
REGENERATIVE PRODUCTS

Using our innovative, patented process technology, we produce traceless® materials. Made from unmodified natural polymers, they are certified plastic-free, yet can be processed using standard technologies such as injection moulding or extrusion - enabling converters to manufacture a wide range of end products.

Due to their natural composition, traceless® materials break down under natural composting conditions into water, humus and CO₂ within just a few weeks — offering a truly sustainable solution for a world free of pollution and waste. In other waste streams, they won’t affect recyclability, and release only the renewable carbon absorbed by plants during growth. This way, traceless® supports a fully natural carbon cycle.

DESIGNED TO LEAVE NO TRACE

— FOR RESOURCE EFFICIENCY

​traceless® materials are based on agricultural residues. They are 100% biobased, fossil-free, and don’t compete with food production or cause deforestation.

MADE FROM
PLANT LEFTOVERS

— NOT LEAVING A TRACE

​​Certified home compostable (NF T 51-800), traceless® breaks down within 2–9 weeks under natural conditions. It’s safe in all waste streams, supporting a closed carbon cycle.

NATURALLY COMPOSTABLE

PLASTIC- &
PFAS-FREE

 — PROTECTING PEOPLE

& PLANET

 

​Certified 100% plastic-free (Flustix) and free of PFAs and harmful chemicals, traceless® uses only environmentally safe ingredients in product and production process — safe for people and the environment.

— FOR A LOWER FOOTPRINT​

​​

Made from renewable, non-fossil raw material and produced resource-efficiently, traceless® cuts emissions by up to 76% over its whole lifecycle and 95% in production and disposal compared to virgin plastics.

CLIMATE
FRIENDLY

— MAXIMIZING IMPACT 

​​

​With plastic-like performance and compatibility with standard production methods, traceless® is scalable, cost-competitive, and ready for industrial use.

SCALABLE & COMPETITIVE

BASED ON NATURAL POLYMERS

traceless® materials pioneer a new generation of natural biomaterials based on natural polymers, and leave behind the familiar categories of plastics and bioplastics.

They are not only bio-based, but even biobased on leftovers, namely plant residues of agricultural industry. For biodegradation, they don‘t need industrial composting conditions, but are certified home compostable.

The secret key for traceless®' excellent compostability: Natural polymers! Because nature has produced them, the natural microorganisms out there already know how to handle them, and can easily digest them.

 

Under natural composting conditions like on a home compost, composting takes only 2-9 weeks, depending on the thickness of the material. traceless® is certified home compostable.
