For this collaboration, Bamboolife proposed we use a very innovative material that is bio-based and biodegradable: a bioplastic called M49.

The M49 bioplastic is composed of cellulose acetate (derived from wood pulp) and a plant-based plasticizer. The resulting formula is composed mainly of materials from renewable sources. Since it is made up of 68% naturally sourced components, it is considered a bio-based material.

To define a plastic material as biodegradable, the degree of biodegradation must reach 90% within an incubation time not exceeding 6 months. The degree of biodegradation of M49 exceeds 90% after just 115 days of incubation, and therefore, it is biodegradable (according to the UNI-EN-ISO 14855-2: 2018 standard).
