From hot to frozen, from small sachets to big pouches, whether for supermarkets or take-aways – go circular with paper packaging coated with ecovio® while benefiting from its excellent performance with multiple end-of-life options!
After usage, food packaging made of paper coated with ecovio® 70 PS14H6 can be composted either in garden home compost or industrial composting facilities according to local legislation. The new home-compostable biopolymer thus supports organics recycling and helps close the nutrient loop to achieve a circular economy.

Bags made of ecovio® are just as high-performing and strong as the ones made of conventional plastics. BASF offers grades with different bio-based content. Thus, ecovio® can be employed to produce bags that can be processed on conventional machines, used by consumers to transport articles and bring a unique sustainability value when collecting organic waste. Studies show that bags made of certified compostable ecovio® increase the collection of organic waste and thus help to return valuable food nutrients to the soil by organics recycling. This closes the loop towards a circular economy for food production: Food waste is diverted from landfill and incineration, resulting in the creation of valuable compost. BASF offers different grades for manufacturing strong and versatile bags like dual-use shopping bags, t-shirt bags, fruit and vegetable bags as well as bags for the collection of organic waste.

BASF developed several certified compostable and mainly bio-based ecovio® grades for extrusion coating on paper, board and other fiber-based substrates – either by mono or multi-layer extrusion without or with adhesives. The paper-coating ecovio® grades show excellent barrier properties against fats, liquids, grease and mineral oil as well as temperature stability at boiling water. They are approved for food contact and characterized by outstanding adhesion to many types of paper and board. Due to its excellent migration barrier properties, ecovio® also enables the use of recycled paper in food applications. The high content of renewable raw materials leads to a reduced material carbon footprint. These tailored ecovio® grades enable paper applications like cups and pots for dairy products, wrappings for sandwiches and cereal bars, bowls and trays for sweets and snacks as well as to-go cups for hot/cold drinks and soup. After usage, food packaging made of paper coated with ecovio® can be composted either in garden home compost or industrial composting facilities according to national legislation, thus extending the end-of-life options for paper packaging.
The Australian food packaging manufacturer Confoil and BASF have cooperated to develop a certified compostable and dual ovenable food tray based on paper. The paper tray is coated on the inside with BASF’s ecovio® PS , a partly bio-based and certified compostable biopolymer especially developed for coating food packaging made of paper or board. The trays called DualPakECO® are certified according to the Australian standard AS- and food contact approved according to international requirements. They can be used for ready-to-eat meals like lasagne, curries and stir-fries available as cold or frozen in supermarkets as well as for catering and take-away from restaurants.
The trays extend the end-of-life options for paper-based packaging by being organically recyclable: They can be commercially composted with the organic waste collected in organic waste bins. Thus the new packaging solution supports organics recycling of food residues and food-soiled packaging which increases the diversion of food waste from landfill and incineration.
