PIONEERING A NEW GENERATION OF MATERIALS
We have developed a novel generation of biomaterials based on plant leftovers of agricultural industry. With this material innovation, we want to help build a sustainable circular biobased industry and drive decarbonization.
WE USE PLANT RESIDUES
TO CREATE A NOVEL GENERATION OF BIOMATERIALS
By replacing virgin plastics in single-use items, packaging, paper coatings or adhesives, traceless® materials enable manufacturers to develop fully regenerative, nature-based products and avoid plastics that are hard to recycle or easily end up in the environment.
FOR NATURALLY
REGENERATIVE PRODUCTS
Using our innovative, patent-pending process technology, we extract natural polymers and turn them into traceless® materials - shaping a novel material generation beyond plastics or bioplastics. traceless® materials can be further processed into a wide range of end products, using standard technologies like injection moulding or extrusion.
Due to their natural compostition, traceless® materials break down under natural composting conditions into water, humus and CO2 in just a few weeks. In other waste stream, they won't affect recyclability, releasing only biogenic renewable carbon that the plants have taken up during their growth - this way closing the natural carbon cycle.

COMPETITIVE TO PLASTICS
BASED ON NATURAL POLYMERS
traceless® materials pioneer a new generation of natural biomaterials based on natural polymers, and leave behind the familiar categories of plastics and bioplastics.
They are not only bio-based, but even biobased on leftovers, namely plant residues of agricultural industry. For biodegradation, they don‘t need industrial composting conditions, but are certified home compostable.
The secret key for traceless®' excellent compostability: Natural polymers! Because nature has produced them, the natural microorganisms out there already know how to handle them, and can easily digest them.
Under natural composting conditions like on a home compost, composting takes only 2-9 weeks, depending on the thickness of the material. traceless® is certified home compostable.
