Frequently Asked Questions

What are Pack Chips Bio made of?

Our packaging Chips are 95% vegetable, potato or corn starch. The remaining 5% are biopolymers. Biopolymers are plastics which are completely biodegradable, which means that they are fully converted by microorganisms into carbon dioxide, water and humus. No harm for the environment!

Where does the volume and strength of the packaging chips come from?

It comes from the production process, namely extrusion. A mixture of starch and polymer is pressed through extruders under high pressure and temperature. Thanks to this production method, we ensure a more efficient use of raw material and a relatively low use of energy and water in production, compared to the production of paper fillers.

Do Pack Chips Bio smell?

Yes, the packaging Chips smell slightly of grain. This smell is hardly perceptible to the packaging chip’s receiver, who has received a small amount of Chips Bio in a package. (However, if you are a packer and you start working with our Chips Bio, you may crave for grain products 🙂 )

What colors are available?

If you want to return the goods, please check whether its packaging and its filling can be reused! Pack Chips Bio are biodegradable and compostable. You can dissolve them in water and use it to water your flowers, you can dispose of them in your bio or compost bin.

What is the difference between compostable and biodegradable?

In the case of packaging fillers, biodegradable means that they decompose naturally and leave no harmful compounds. However, the duration of its decomposition is not specified. Compostable packaging fillers, on the other hand, decompose into fertilizer within 6 months, when processed in industrial composting plants or home composting facilities.
