Key Environmental Advantages
Vivomer’s most significant advantage lies in its ability to biodegrade naturally across diverse environments, including home compost, industrial composting, marine ecosystems, and landfill. Certified by TÜV Austria, the material decomposes completely without leaving behind microplastics—an issue that conventional “bioplastics” often fail to resolve.
In addition to eliminating long-term pollution, Vivomer contributes to reducing reliance on petrochemicals. As a material derived from natural sources, it lessens the carbon footprint associated with traditional plastic production. This shift toward bio-based resources reflects the packaging industry’s broader transition to circular economy principles.
Importance for Cosmetic Packaging
For cosmetic and personal care packaging, this is especially critical. Consumers increasingly demand environmentally responsible products, and packaging plays a vital role in shaping brand perception. By adopting Vivomer, companies can showcase their commitment to sustainability while ensuring packaging maintains durability, protection, and design flexibility.
Conclusion / Next Steps
Vivomer demonstrates that packaging can be both high-performing and environmentally safe. Its zero microplastic residue and multi-environment biodegradability set it apart from conventional plastics and even many bioplastics. In our next article, we will explore how Vivomer is being applied in cosmetic tubes and bottles, with real-world examples of its impact on the beauty industry.
