Green Dot introduces compostable elastomeric bioplastic

In Kansas, Green Dot is introducing what they consider to be the market’s first compostable elastomeric bioplastic, GDH-B1. Unlike most compostable bioplastics, GDH-B1 is a soft, rubber-like material that is strong, pliable and durable. Green Dot is placing this pioneering compostable bioplastic in the hands of millions with innovative products for consumers.  GDH-B1 is made from renewable plant based sources. It has been tested by NSF International to be safe from phthalates, BPA, cadmium and lead. GDH-B1 is the only soft elastomeric plastic verified to meet U.S. (ASTM D6400) and E.U. (EN13432) standards for compostability.
