Cereplast proprietary biobased resin is produced from renewable resources such as polylactic acid (PLA), soy proteins, PHA, PHBs, and starch from corn, wheat or potatoes. Cereplast states that the resin contains other biodegradable components to reinforce the molecular structure of the resin. Some resins are compounded with nano-materials. According to Cereplast, the resin will fully biodegrade in commercial facilities within 60-180 days. Cereplast resins are certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute as well as DIN CERTCO (composting accreditation according to the European Standard DIN EN13432).
