AGENACOMP® is a starch-based bioplastic for films, molded parts, and 3D printing—that composts fully at home leaving zero microplastic residues behind. PLA-free. Biodegradable. Runs on your existing production line.
A starch-based bioplastic compound that biodegrades completely—in your backyard, in the field, and in industrial composting facilities.
AGENACOMP® combines AGRANA's proprietary thermoplastic starch technology with biodegradable polyester—no PLA—to create a material that's certified home-compostable and leaves zero microplastic residues behind. A 15 μm film visibly degrades in 2 weeks and fully composts within 4 weeks at home temperatures.
Built on over 40 years of starch processing expertise in Austria, AGENACOMP runs on your existing blown-film, cast-film, injection molding, and 3D printing equipment with no modifications. Films thinner than 10 μm. Solid molded parts for consumer goods. Breathable. Silky surface feel. Transparent in multilayer configurations. Printable without corona treatment. And when it's done—it returns to the soil.
Thermoplastic Starch
Biodegradable Polyester
Every AGENACOMP product begins as a crop in a European field and ends as compost—completing a natural cycle with no trace left behind.
Fully biodegrades in home compost, industrial compost, and soil. Derived from non-GMO corn and wheat starch grown regionally in Austria.
TÜV-certified composting tests confirm complete biodegradation. Nothing left behind—not even invisible fragments in the soil or water.
A 15 μm AGENACOMP film visibly degrades in 2 weeks and fully composts within 4 weeks at ambient temperatures (28°C and less).
Unlike many bioplastics, AGENACOMP is PLA-free—significantly improving biodegradation speed and completeness in real-world conditions.
AGENACOMP drops into your existing line. Blue Standard engineers the rest.
AGRANA sources non-GMO corn and wheat starch from regional Austrian growers, converting it into proprietary thermoplastic starch at their production facilities.
Thermoplastic starch is blended with biodegradable polyester (no PLA) to create AGENACOMP granules—ready-to-extrude, made in Austria.
Blue Standard mixes AGENACOMP with our proprietary compound library to develop novel formulations tailored to your specific market and application requirements.
Extrude films, injection-mold solid parts, or 3D print prototypes on your existing equipment. Films thinner than 10 μm. Rigid parts for consumer goods. No new machinery required.
From PE-comparable mechanical performance to the highest bio-based content on the market.
Mechanical Performance
Mechanical properties comparable to PE. Ideal for mulch films and demanding agricultural applications.
Bio-Based Carbon
Strong processability with high starch proportion. Excellent balance of performance and sustainability.
Bio-Based Carbon
Sustainability boost with cost efficiency. High starch content. Recommended for multilayer films.
Bio-Based Carbon
Premium sustainability tier. Processes on conventional equipment without modification.
Bio-Based Carbon
Maximum bio-based content for the boldest sustainability claims. Same equipment, same line.
A natural fiber/wood-polymer composite engineered from two components—both sourced from nature—and manufactured through Blue Standard's patented process.
Engineered for products that need to stand up to daily use—balancing strength, stiffness, and abrasion resistance. Safer than nylon or PVC across a broad range of mechanical performance. UV and moisture stable without the problematic stabilizers conventional plastics require.
Formulations designed to biodegrade at end of life. Independent university testing confirms Vernovo is non-persistent—degrading significantly under controlled conditions. Designed to return to nature rather than accumulate in the environment.
*TÜV certification pending
Formulations that are both recyclable and produced from up to 100% renewable content. Designed for circular economy models where the material can be recovered, reprocessed, and returned to productive use.
From grocery aisles to farm fields to your child's toy box—AGENACOMP replaces fossil plastics in films, molded parts, and 3D-printed goods. Compostable, biodegradable, and zero microplastics.
Home-compostable shopping bags, fruit and vegetable bags, and bin liners. Strong enough for a full load, and they compost right alongside food scraps in your backyard.
Biodegradable mulch films that handle like PE but never need to be collected. They biodegrade in soil after harvest—PLA-free, 10–40 μm, zero microplastics left in the field. Ideal for strawberries, cucumbers, and pumpkins.
Wraps, pouches, protective packaging, and multilayer films. Excellent tensile strength, extensibility, and a silky surface feel—with breathable or high-transparency options.
Compostable polybags, garment covers, and tissue wraps. Tell your customer to compost the packaging along with food waste—because they actually can.
Injection-molded plant pots, labeling cards, and agricultural clips that biodegrade in soil alongside the plant. No retrieval, no waste stream, no microplastics in your garden.
Hotel key cards, ATM cards, compostable cutlery, hygienic gloves, and food service items. Every touchpoint your customer handles can now biodegrade completely.
Injection-molded pet bowls, treat dispensers, and chew-safe accessories. Children's toys and play sets. Planters, garden markers, kitchen utensils, and household organizers. Solid, durable parts—blended with Blue Standard's other material families for tuned strength, impact resistance, and color. Compostable at end of life, zero microplastics.
AGENACOMP and AMITROPLAST process into 3D printing filament for rapid prototyping, model making, and short-run production. Print compostable pet accessories, toy prototypes, home décor, and garden tools—blended with BSI compounds for custom mechanical profiles. Biodegradable parts straight off the build plate.
Ready-to-run compound, raw ingredient for custom blending, or purpose-built mulch film.
Ready-to-extrude bioplastic compound for film, injection molding, and 3D printing. Drop into your existing production line and start making home-compostable films, solid molded parts, or printed prototypes immediately. Blue Standard blends AGENACOMP with our proprietary compounds to create custom solutions—from flexible packaging to rigid consumer goods like pet products, children's toys, and home & garden items.
