Biodegradable Film's by Bloomer Plastics offer eco friendly alternatives for many industries. It is a degradable plastic as defined in ASTM 1991: Bloomer Plastics’ Film is …”a degradable plastic in which the degradation results from the action of naturally occurring microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae.”

The biodegradability of products using Bloomer Plastics custom film process has been demonstrated using the following industry standards:

• ASTM D5209-91 “Standard Test Method for Determining the Aerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials in the Presence of Municipal Sewage Sludge”
• ASTM D5338.98 “Standard Test Method for Determining Aerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials under Controlled Composting Conditions”
• ISO 14855 method “Evaluation of the Ultimate Aerobic Biodegradability and Disintegration of Plastics under Controlled Composting Conditions”
• ASTM 5511 “Standard Test Method for Determining Anaerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials Under High-Solids Anaerobic Digestion Conditions”.

A published Ecological Assessment is available for inspection to assure our customers of Bloomer Plastics’ commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Biodegradable products from Bloomer Plastics are available as:

• Polypropylene homopolymer- high heat resistant polymer with much stiffness
• Impact co- polymer polypropylene for freezer and microwave applications (thermoforming)
• Co-polymer polypropylene for softer applications
• HDPE
• LDPE/LLDPE blends
• Custom specialty blends of many polyethylenes

Bloomer Plastics’ Biodegradable Film maintains the strength, clarity, and printability of other PE and PP blends. This film is highly flexible, has good gas barrier properties, is easily thermoformable, and can be used in a wide range of packaging and other applications including:

• FDA approved food packaging
• Overwrap
• Thermoformed containers
• Microwaveable
• Freezeable
• Tray film
• Other packaging applications
• Plastic bags
• Mulch film
• Vinyl Replacement Films

BPI’s degradable plastics meet standard polyolefin specifications, shelf lifes, and are recyclable. They are a superior alternative to starch, corn based, and PLA films.

BPI can engineer biodegradable products for your specific film application.
