NatureWorks
The increasing popularity of single serve beverage systems
for coffee, tea, and now soft drinks raises the question of
how best to prevent spent capsules ending up in landfills.
For several years, NatureWorks, compounders, converters,
and coffee companies have engaged in a comprehensive
research and development effort, using Ingeo to solve the
many technical challenges presented in making a capsule the
meets the temperature requirements for both the drip and
high pressure platforms while maintaining compostability.
NatureWorks shows at Chinaplas a range of successful
Ingeo implementations of compostable pods. The technical
achievements in films, rigid capsule bodies, and nonwovens,
used for filtration, has opened new pathways to achieve
success in both coffee platforms.
The company features new solutions in transparent form,
fill, and seal (FFS) cups for dairy and dessert packaging.
These cups feature transparency that showcases the natural
products inside, stiffness for break apart applications,
material reduction, and they can be processed on existing
machines, making this a cost-effective performance solution.
Newly developed Ingeo 3D870 grade for industrial 3D filament
that rivals ABS heat and impact resistance will be on display
for the first time. NatureWorks also showcases new injection
molded food service ware, new fibers, new high barrier
property films, and more.

ASTM6400D standards. Its shelf life is 12 months
under the condition of being stored in sealed
packages. It can ensure a storage life of 12 months
after being processed into finished products.
Ecoword biodegradable plastic can be broken down
by microorganism into CO 2
, H 2
O and high quality
organic fertilizers within 180 days under composting
conditions without generating any poisonous gas. It
is the main raw material for biodegradable plastic
films which can help reducing white pollution.
In contrast to conventional plastics, Ecowill allows
its final plastic products to possess both biological
(biodegradable and compostable) and physical
(printable and weldable) advantages at the same
time. Ecowill had been widely applied to industrial
and agricultural sectors, such as shopping bags,
garbage bags, food packages and mulch films etc.
