Luckys Naturbausteine (Natural Bricks) are produced using Tecnaro Arboblend biopolymer. While the exact ingredients are proprietary, it is made with at least 98% bio-based raw materials (including glucose, natural waxes and minerals). The exact recipe depends on the application. In this case, a durable product is required that can tolerate normal household use including dishwashing. Therefore, it will not biodegrade as is, but would likely behave like wood if left in the soil, taking some years to breakdown. It doesn't include any fossil-based plastic or plasticisers.

CJ Olive Young cosmetics packaging manufactured with CJ Biomaterials Phact amorphous polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in combination with polylactic acid (PLA). Amorphous PHA is relatively soft and rubbery, offering fundamentally different performance characteristics than crystalline or semi-crystalline forms of the biopolymer. It is a bio-based material that is certified for industrial and home compost, soil biodegradable and marine biodegradable. When combined with other bioplastics, such as PLA, it enhances the biodegradability and compostability of products. In the case of this cosmetics packaging, the PHA/PLA blend replaces acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Image CJ Biomaterials.
