Use your own machinery.

With Policanoico PKN you process at low temperature optimizing costs.

Unlike other compostable materials, wastes can be recovered up to 100%. We have the lowest pH in the industry, providing longer shelf life and docile and controlled decomposition “without polluting”.

With an OTR oxygen barrier (ASTM F1307) and WVTR water vapor barrier (ASTM E96), you will have a #foodgrade material that can be adapted to withstand temperatures as high as 4 minutes in the microwave or 110 C.
