Vektro provides compostable solutions for the entire packaging chain of supply in order to promote, support, and inspire top-down solutions for the world’s consumers.
Our environmental commitments and goals are embedded in our mission, strategy, and code of business conduct, and we are committed to running our business in a long-term sustainable manner as fellow members of a circular economy. We hope to encourage sustainable change with our technology and by our example.
Why Compostable Packaging?
Compostable plastic packaging addresses the challenges of plastic pollution from the design phase. It offers a packaging alternative that perfectly mimics the positive properties of a conventional plastic packaging such as moisture and oxygen barrier, shelf-life, lightweight design, and flexibility, but with a built-in circular solution for its end-of-use.
Plastic packaging is a complex system and requires different types of packaging for different types of usage, and therefore requires different types of solutions. Flexible films and multilayered packaging are playing an essential role in protecting the freshness and nutritional value of our food because it is low weight and convenient for transport and use.
Vektro Bioplastics
Bioplastics (also called organic plastics) are a form of plastics derived from renewable biomass sources, such as vegetable oil, corn starch, pea starch or microbiota , rather than fossil fuel plastics which are derived from petroleum. It’s simple. If we can make everyday products that have less impact on the environment, then everyone benefits. That’s what we at Vektro have done. Traditional plastics & fibers are all made up of oil. We source biopolymer, which is made from plants.
