AN INNOVATIVE
NATURAL BIOMATERIAL TECHNOLOGY
traceless’ disruptive potential lies in our patent-pending technology — an innovative process that extracts natural polymers from agricultural plant residues. This environmentally friendly and industrially scalable technology takes a straightforward yet groundbreaking approach: rather than synthesizing new polymer molecules, we use those already created by nature.
The result of our process is a broad portfolio of traceless® materials tailored to meet diverse product needs across rigid, paper coating, and flexible film applications. All are plastic-free, fully biobased, and naturally compostable.
​
We primarily produce traceless® materials in standard granulate form. With thermoplastic properties, they are compatible with common industrial manufacturing techniques such as injection moulding and extrusion. The easy integration into existing value chains enables industries to adopt our materials with minimal investment and operational disruption.
Our first large-scale production facility in Hamburg-Harburg now enables traceless® materials to be available in commercial volumes for converters and brand owners. This groundbreaking facility empowers our partners to bring innovative, sustainable products to market, while it showcases the industrial scalability of our technology.
​
Each ton of traceless® materials replacing virgin plastics, helps prevent plastic pollution, and reduces industrial carbon emissions. Discover more about our product range and technical specifications below.

TRACELESS® PRODUCTS
INJECTION MOULDING
The traceless® materials for injection moulding are our solutions for rigid and semi-rigid applications. They are designed to be processed at standard injection molding machines covering both cold- and hot-runner systems. With good flowability, traceless® is suitable for multi-cavity molds ensuring industrial production. The processing of traceless® requires lower machine temperatures therefore generally reducing the operational and energy costs while still offering good cycle times.

PAPER COATING & ADHESIVES
traceless® materials and paper and cardboard products - a strong natural combination for holistically sustainable packaging and product solutions. Tailored to flexible and rigid applications, the traceless® coating adds functionality to the paper, while maintaining its recyclability in the paper waste stream and avoiding microplastics. With its capability to run on extrusion & dispersion coating machinery, the traceless® material is a scalable solution for the rapidly growing paper and fibre-based packaging market.

FILM EXTRUSION
traceless® film application materials are engineered for the further processing on common cast- and blow-film production lines. They offer a natural and plastic-free solution for various packaging applications, and can replace plastics in producs that are difficult to recycle, in which the use of recyclates is not feasible, or that easily end up in nature.
