Abstract

Heritage Bag Company has developed compostable bags and liners, which are produced from composites utilizing polymer and mineral materials technology of Heritage Plastics, Inc. This product line is based on proprietary blends of different biodegradable polymers which have been modified using mineral reinforcement technology to produce a readily extrudable polymer composite. This modification yields polymers that can be readily processed for end-use products such as films and bags with characteristics very similar to those obtained with higher α-olefin LLDPE resins, yet which meet the degradability requirements of ASTM D 6400-04.
