GAIA is a young company with great experience. Thanks to our long and successful background from the food packaging industry we are experts to find biodegradable solutions for every need. The vision is to replace current fossil based plastics with a renewable and compostable alternative without sacrificing quality. Our first success story was a pouch for the Scandinavian waste industry. Our second, an apron made in-house for Swedish hospitals.
Today we offer biomaterials in different qualities such as; film blowing, injection molding, sheet extrusion, and bottle blowing. We co-operate with big global companies to make sure we can serve a global demand on sustainable biodegradable product solutions.
Biodolomer® for Life
Biodolomerforlife
In June 2016, Gaia BioMaterials AB, in a joint partnership with NSR and Båstad Kommun, received EU funds from the LIFE programme for a 30 MSEK project in order to show how fossile-based and energy intensive plastics and packaging materials can be replaced by Gaia BioMaterials renewable and biodegradable biomaterial Biodolomer® The project will show how Biodolomer® material can be produced and will be validated through four different commercial reference products to control for the feasibility of undertaking it for the European plastic and packaging industry as a whole. Biodolomer® is unique in its concept as it exhibits all of the following qualities:
Renewable
Biodegradable
Compostable
Convertable to to bioenergy
Significantly reduced CO2-emissions when incinerated, as compared with conventional plastic and paper. Whilst other existing biomaterials exhibit one or more of these qualities, none of them exhibit all of them, making Biodolomer® the most versatile biomaterial available.
The Biodolomer® Family by GAIA
Biodolomer® is a high-quality mineral filled biomaterial
COMPOSTABLE, BIODEGRADABLE AND CONTAIN RENEWABLE RESOURCES.
BIODOLOMER®:
compostable and biodegradable
contains renewable resources
printable and weldable
ready to use in existing machine equipment
Biodolomer® may be converted to a wide variety of blown film applications ranging from organic waste bags, shopping bags, and agricultural film. Biodolomer® is available for bottle blowing, thermoforming, and injection molded conversion.
Why calcium carbonate?
CALCIUM CARBONATE CONTRIBUTES TO THE EARTH’S NATURAL FERTILITY.
THAT IS WHY GAIA ADDS CALCIUM CARBONATE IN BIODOLOMER®.
Calcium carbonate is added in growing medium to raise the pH interval and supply plant life with calcium and magnesium to raise growth potential.
Calcium carbonate contains trace minerals like silica which also improves growth. Silica gives nutrition, mechanical strength, and resistance against fungal diseases.
Calcium carbonate is used to counteract acidification. That is why calcium carbonate is spread over fields, lakes, and forests to neutralize the pH value.
