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.

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 🙂 )
