Bio-based compostable polymer by Mitsubishi Chemical used in teabag pouches
The Mitsubishi Chemical Group announced the use of its bio-based compostable polymer, BioPBS, in the sealant layer and zipper closure of the redesigned pouches for EN TEA’s teabags.
EN TEA’s redesigned pouches are made of bio-based compostable polymer.
BioPBS is a bio-based compostable polymer which undergoes natural decomposition by microorganisms into water and carbon dioxide.
With exceptional low-temperature heat sealability and flexibility, BioPBS allows extensive applications, primarily as packaging material for food products and more.
Beyong the sealant layer and zipper closure, EN TEA’s pouches, including the barrier layer, adhesives and the teabags nestled within, are composed of compostable materials.
As a specialty material group dedicated to offer innovative solutions, Mitsubishi Chemical is committed to delivering high-value-added materials to drive sustainability.
EN TEA’s upgraded pouches have already been available since September 20, 2023.
