According to Ellen McArthur Foundation, A circular economy is based on three principles, all driven by design: Eliminate waste and pollution, Keep products and materials in use and regenerate natural system. BioPBS is one of the material solution to support in all these principles in a way that it is made from renewable resources and compostable at the end-of-life turning into soil supporting another lives on earth as in closed loop system.

To minimize its impact on the environment, the Marathon de Nantes has chosen the BioPBSTM paper cups. More than 100,000 cups have been used and collected at the end of the event. After their collection, these cups will be composted at Baugeois Compost (Maine-et-Loire).

Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC; Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Masayuki Waga) is collaborating with Giravanz Kitakyushu, a Japanese soccer club, to implement a verification test as a step toward realizing circularity using compost derived from paper cups made with MCC’s BioPBSTM (manufactured by PTT MCC) compostable material.
For the verification test, MCC will supply about 6,500 paper cups made with MCC’s BioPBSTM compostable material to the Giravanz Summer Festival 2021, a soccer event hosted by Giravanz Kitakyushu on August 22nd and 28th, 2021. The used paper cups will then be collected and composted together with any food residues at composting facilities. A portion of the compost that is produced will be used to cultivate vegetables at a local high school, which will then be the harvested and sold at the soccer stadium.

The use of compostable plastics makes the mixed waste suitable for organic recycling (composting), enabling the shift from recovery to recycling (a treatment option which ranks higher on the European waste hierarchy). This way, biowaste is diverted from other recycling streams or from landfill and facilitating separate collection – resulting in the creation of more valuable compost.
In order to be suitable for organic recycling, products and materials need to meet the strict criteria of the European norm EN 13432 on industrial compostability. Following successful certification, these products and materials are permitted to be advertised and labelled as ‘compostable’. The Seedling label is a well-known mark for products conforming to EN 13432.

Not only compostable benefit that BioPBS could offer, but also for recycling stream. BioPBS coated paper has been tested and certified by Western Michigan University in US and PTS (Papierteschniche Stiftung) in Germany on its recyclability and repulpability so that paper can be retrieved back into the system without loosing as the waste and enhancing our utmost effort in supporting the circular economy.
