Mirel™ is a family of bioplastic materials made from a renewable resource, plant derived sugar. Mirel resins are durable but will biodegrade at the end of their useful life. Mirel resin is unique in that it shares many of the physical properties of petroleum based resins but is both biobased and biodegradable. Mirel resins are certified to biodegrade in soil and water environments, as well as home composting and industrial composting facilities (in areas where such facilities are available). However, like nearly all bioplastics and organic matter, Mirel will not biodegrade in conventional landfills.
Mirel is a distinctive solution as a high-performance bioplastic alternative in consumer goods, compost bags, business equipment, packaging, agriculture/ horticulture, and marine/aquatic applications.
