Solinatra delivers 100% natural, plastic-free, biodegradable materials that make it easy for industries to transition to sustainability without compromising performance, process, or planet.
Solinatra is a materials innovation and manufacturing company leading the development of biobased and biodegradable alternatives to traditional plastics. Founded to address the urgent need for scalable sustainability solutions, the company designs and produces fully compostable materials made from agricultural byproducts that provide the same consumer experience as products made of traditional plastics do.
With a focus on performance, compatibility, circularity and last but not least consumer experience, Solinatra’s materials offer a reliable and commercially viable pathway for industries aiming to reduce waste, meet regulatory targets, and transition away from fossil-based systems.
Biobased and biodegradable materials: A nature-driven alternative for industry
Solinatra’s biobased and biodegradable materials are engineered to meet the functional demands of today’s manufacturing processes while ensuring that, after use, products can return safely to nature. The company’s patented formulations are fully biodegradable, free from fossil-derived ingredients, and suitable for composting in both home and industrial environments.
By using natural agricultural byproducts as feedstock, Solinatra avoids the land-use issues often associated with bioplastics and instead turns waste streams into high-value, circular materials.
By ensuring biodegradability, Solinatra avoids the issues of bio-based plastics adding to plastic pollution because these present-day plastics, just like their fossil-based counterparts, don’t break down.
Solinatra’s materials are compatible with common manufacturing techniques such as injection moulding and thermoforming, allowing producers to integrate Solinatra into their operations without major equipment changes. Actually, this drop in material processes occurs at lower temperatures and comparable speeds. This makes it easier for businesses to meet environmental commitments without sacrificing performance or productivity.
Supporting key industries in their sustainability goals
Solinatra’s biobased and biodegradable materials are currently being used across several high-impact sectors.
In the food industry, they provide a sustainable source for disposable utensils and food-contact items. These products offer the familiar feel and comfort of traditional plastic during use, whilst ensuring a safe and trace-free breakdown after disposal.
In horticulture, Solinatra materials have proven effective in producing cold-soil compostable products such as plant pots and propagation trays. These solutions eliminate the need to remove or dispose of traditional plastic components post-harvest, supporting regenerative agriculture and zero-waste planting systems.
In the packaging sector, Solinatra offers an alternative for rigid components such as coffee capsules. These products meet aesthetic and functional requirements while meeting composability standards and reducing environmental impact across the product life cycle.
Innovation built for circularity
What differentiates Solinatra is its commitment to end-of-life solutions that genuinely close the loop. Every product made from Solinatra is designed not only for durability during use, but also for seamless reintegration into natural systems through composting.
Solinatra’s biobased and biodegradable material is certified to standards including EN 13432, ASTM D6866, and complies to Regulation (EU) N0. 2020/1245 (amending and correcting Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011) and performed in accordance with EN 1186 Materials and articles in contact with Foodstuffs, providing third-party assurance of its environmental claims.
Solinatra’s philosophy of “made from nature, made to return to nature” is embedded in every stage of its development process — from sourcing and formulation to processing and disposal. This approach allows clients and partners to confidently adopt sustainable materials that are proven, transparent, and practical.
Making sustainability the easiest choice
Solinatra is not just offering a material — it is enabling a low threshold to shift away from polluting plastics to clean materials. By prioritising real-world usability, manufacturing ease, and environmental integrity, whilst focusing on consumer expectations, Solinatra helps businesses move beyond compromise and into action.
As demand grows for circular solutions that balance performance with planet-positive outcomes, Solinatra is positioned to lead with materials that truly make sustainability the easiest choice.
