BIOWA
Designed for a wide range of applications that demand both elasticity and durability, BIOWA is a balanced material with up to 74% biobased content. Its formulation ensures that any microplastics emitted are naturally degraded through microbiological activities, helping reduce environmental impact. BIOWA supports a circular end-of-life strategy, enabling recycling and the continuous reuse of materials in production.
This market-ready material is available in versatile forms such as pellets or filaments, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including injection molding, extrusion, and 3D printing.
Key Features
Sustainability
- Eco-Friendly Composition: Biobased content from 40% to 74%, significantly reducing reliance on fossil-based polymers.
- Lower Carbon Footprint: Generates 60% fewer CO₂eq emissions compared to standard EVA-based materials.
- Biodegradable Microplastics: Due to their chemical structure, microplastics emitted due to the abbrasion of the material will disappear thanks to water and enzymes activity. As more data becomes available, KUORI remains committed to sharing further updates.
- Composting: Biodegradation following ISO 17556.
- Recyclable End-of-Life Solution: BIOWA can be recycled up to 5 times.
