In Massachusetts, Metabolix launched Mvera B5011, a new film grade resin that allows for production of compostable, and highly transparent, film and bags. Metabolix designed Mvera B5011 to meet international industrial standards for compostability, while also enabling customers to produce films for compostable bags and packaging applications with exceptional transparency compared to competing products.
B5011 is certified for compostability by Vincotte to meet the EN13432 standard and by the Biodegradable Products Institute to meet the ASTM D6400 standard.
