This material is 100% bio-circular, home compostable, and contains no potentially harmful chemicals. It can be produced in the form of granules and further processed with standard technologies of the plastic and packaging industry to create a wide range of end products such as rigid molded parts, flexible films, paper coatings, or adhesives[1][2][3].

The company is committed to combating global plastic pollution, climate change, resource scarcity, and the loss of biodiversity. The values of traceless are based on the vision that the materials we use should have a positive impact on the planet and eliminate pollution and waste[1][2][4].

Additionally, traceless is working on scaling its innovative technology to enable a climate-friendly, circular, resilient, and regenerative industry[1][3].
