See the World in Color
The coloration of biodegradable polymers—such
as PLA, PHA, PBAT or blends—requires a careful
selection of pigments that must comply with strict
environmental standards.
Starch blend
resins often vary from white to brown and this
can influence the final color rendering in the
application.
