When you think about plastic, in this period, you immediately think of something negative, both for the starting materials and for the problem of disposal. But what if we told you that M49 is not plastic as this term is generally understood? As a matter of fact, M49 is composed of cellulose acetate and a plasticizer of vegetable origin. The resulting formula is mostly composed of materials from renewable sources. What is Cellulose Acetate? + What makes M49 different? + Calling a material Bioplastic already sounds like turning something bad into something sustainable, which is true for a lot of products. It makes sure that it reaches certain standards, like being based on natural resources or being biodegradable. The problem is: material which is based on fossile raw material but able to be biodegraded also fits into this definition – which is not enough for our standards. As a matter of fact M49 is both bio-based and biodegradable. What is Bioplastic? What does Bio-based mean? What does Biodegradable mean? What does compostable mean? Sustainable even in what you cannot touch. Did you ever think of plastic as an agricultural good? We did – and it turns out to be very important to do so. Creating a material that follows an ecological cycle in its lifetime is more valuable than just putting a bioplastic label on it – at least that´s what we think. A new carbon cycle. What impact does it have on agriculture? Believe in us – trust in science Natural plastic still doesn´t sound right to you? To be precise, M49 is nothing like it at all. Why call it plastic then? Because although Cellulose Acetate is a much more sustainable and noble material, it´s not yet in the peoples´ minds. Check the science part to get it into yours. Biobased Carbon Content according to ASTM D6866 + Biodegradability according to UNI-EN-ISO 14855-2: 2018 standard + Biocompatibility according to Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 + You design a lifetime We´ve talked a lot about wasting and biodegradability. The truth is: through its biodegradability M49 is designed for the long shot. The versatility of the material allows you to create amazing products – so why would anybody want to get rid of them?
