It is produced in large quantities in corn processing, is not suitable for further use in food production and can thus be used for the production of sustainable packaging.\n\nThe production process for our packaging was developed with the Georg-August University in G\u00f6ttingen and is based on extensive and patented research work. Plantera GmbH optimised the process together with the scientists and brought the material to market maturity.
