The situation on the plastics market is developing in such a way that more and more attention is paid to alternative materials for their production. More and more often we hear news about bioplastics made of one substance or another. And now we will tell you about another new product from this area.

The Italian company Krill Design has presented a rather promising biopolymer REKRILL. Completely compostable (we assume that under industrial composting conditions), biodegradable even in sea water, without microplastics and toxic residues. It also reduces CO2 emissions by more than 60%. It can be recycled in the flow of conventional plastics.

What's the catch, you ask. The manufacturer, of course, is silent about this, but we dare to assume that it is in the process of producing packaging from this biopolymer. But, we emphasize, this is only our guess and the question requires clarification in Krill Design.

Otherwise, the material has a fairly presentable, even premium, appearance, and can be used to produce plastic products in the areas of electrical goods, household goods, cosmetic packaging, etc. Different colors of plastic are achieved by adding what is considered agricultural waste: citrus peels, coffee grounds, wine production residues. Perhaps these components play the role of more than just dyes.

The manufacturer claims that REKRILL can be used for injection molding, 3D printing, thermoforming, and even film. We'll see how this promising innovation catches on.
