Cereplast Compostables™ resins are renewable, ecologically sound substitutes for petroleum-based plastic products, replacing nearly 100% of the petroleum-based additives used in traditional plastics. Cereplast Compostables™ resins are starch-based, made from corn, wheat, tapioca and potato starches that primarily come from the Midwest (versus oil from the Middle East).

All Cereplast Compostables™ resins are certified as biodegradable and compostable in the United States and Europe, meeting BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) standards for compostability (ASTM 6400 D99 and ASTM 6868), and European Bioplastics standards (EN 13432).

Cereplast Hybrid Resins™ products are bio-based, replacing 50% or more of the petroleum content in traditional plastic products with materials from renewable sources such as starches from corn, tapioca, wheat and potatoes.

Cereplast Hybrid Resins™ products are cost-competitive with traditional petroleum-based plastic resin. With significantly more of the resin content derived from starches, the pricing of Cereplast Hybrid Resins™ products is not as influenced by the volatile prices of oil.
