New formulation has been certified by TUV as home compostable<\/span><\/p>\n

Danimer Scientific, Inc.<\/span><\/a> (NYSE: DNMR) (\u201cDanimer\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) and TotalEnergies Corbion<\/span><\/a>, both leading bioplastics companies focused on the development and production of biodegradable materials, today announced that they have developed a new compostable coffee pod biopolymer that is in compliance with proposed EU packaging regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The EU recently announced a proposal requiring plastic packaging such as tea bags, coffee pods, very light plastic bags and sticky labels for fruit and vegetables to be compostable. Danimer and TotalEnergies Corbion\u2019s new formulations, containing a blend of Danimer\u2019s signature polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Nodax\u00ae and TotalEnergies Corbion\u2019s Luminy\u00ae High Heat polylactic acid (PLA) material, have already passed biodegradability tests and have been certified by TUV as home compostable. They are currently being tested in the market by numerous European companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Danimer has estimated that, in the European market, 550 million pounds of plastic are used in the manufacture of single-use coffee pods annually.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSince beginning our collaborative partnership with TotalEnergies Corbion a couple of years ago, we\u2019ve been working to blend together our respective materials, Nodax\u00ae and Luminy\u00ae, to meet the specific functionality needs of our customers for a variety of applications,\u201d said Scott Tuten, chief marketing and sustainability officer of Danimer Scientific. \u201cWe support the EU\u2019s proposed new regulations as a necessary first step in addressing the problem of plastic waste, and we\u2019re pleased to be offering our compostable coffee pod biopolymer as one example of how the technology behind bioplastics has evolved to serve the needs of manufacturers, regulators and consumers as the world moves toward a cleaner and more responsible future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2021, Danimer and TotalEnergies Corbion entered a long-term collaborative arrangement for the supply of Luminy\u00ae PLA, a biobased polymer used to manufacture compostable products.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited about the potential of compostable bioplastics to provide an environmentally friendly alternative to single-use petrochemical plastics, and we hope that the coffee pod biopolymer we\u2019ve developed in partnership with Danimer Scientific will be the first of many collaborations to come,\u201d said Thomas Philipon, CEO of TotalEnergies Corbion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coinciding with this announcement, Stephen Croskrey, chairman and chief executive officer of Danimer Scientific, will be ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange today, Monday, April 17, to mark the beginning of Earth Week.<\/span><\/p>\n
