Industrially Compostable Packaging Films
Cortec Expands Bioplastics Portfolio with Eco Works 100
Georgia Wray Norsten — August 8, 2025
Industrially compostable packaging film is at the core of Cortec’s newest launch, 'Eco Works 100' -- a TÜV Austria-certified material containing 100% USDA-certified bio-based content. Designed as an alternative to petroleum-based plastics, Eco Works 100 meets the growing demand for renewable, compostable packaging solutions.
Made from plant-based raw materials, the film decomposes harmlessly in industrial composting facilities, as proven through soil germination tests meeting ASTM D6400 standards. By combining complete bio-based content with certified compostability, Eco Works 100 offers a unique solution for applications ranging from shopping bags to industrial waste liners.
Cortec sees the product as a way to diversify its bioplastics line while addressing tightening sustainability regulations. The company’s portfolio already includes compostable stretch film, shrink wrap, and organics waste bags, making Eco Works 100 a strategic addition to meet market demand for high-renewable-content packaging.
