GP9001A – Compostable Resins
GP9001A is a certified compostable resin from Minima designed for extrusion coating onto paper or other certified biodegradable films. It can be used to create grease-resistant food wraps, paper plates and card stock for making paper hot cups.
Minima resins are independently certified to biodegradable in professionally managed industrial compost facilities. Check locally since such facilities are not available in all communities. All Minima resins are also tested to be free of BPA, phthalates and other plasticizers.
