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.

DESIGNED TO LEAVE NO TRACE

Due to their natural composition, traceless® materials are certified home compostable, breaking down 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.

— BIOBASED USING RESIDUES

​traceless® based material is certified biobased (100%  biobased carbon content) and fossil-free. Our technology uses plant-based agricultural industry residues, avoiding the risk of food competition or deforestation.

USING RESIDUES

HOME COMPOSTABLE

 

​​​traceless® base material is certified home compostable (NF T 51-800). It is safe in all waste streams and eliminates pollution risks, not leaving a trace.

SAFE FOR PEOPLE & PLANET

​As a natural polymer material, traceless® is by definition a non-plastic material. traceless® base material is certified plastic-free (Flustix) and PFAs-tested. Using only environmentally safe ingredients in product and production process.

SAFE FOR PEOPLE & PLANET

REDUCED CARBON EMISSIONS

Made from renewable raw material and produced resource-efficiently, traceless® cuts GHG emissions by up to 76% over its whole lifecycle, and up to 95% (average: 91%) in production and disposal compared to virgin plastics.(See LCA report)

REDUCED CARBON EMISSIONS 

SCALABLE & COMPETITIVE

​​

​With industrial production capacities and compatibility with standard processing technologies, 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.
