Green Cell Foam by KTM Industries Inc. has been creating bio-based material for thermal protection and protective packaging applications for nearly 20 years. The Michigan-based company takes U.S. grown, non-GMO corn and extrudes its starch into foam material. Green Cell Foam is compostable and biodegradable making it an eco-friendly alternative to polystyrene packaging.
President and CEO Tim Colonnese confirmed that Green Cell Foam is “ASTM D264 certified, readily compostable and the material has been tested for biodegradability in soil and in water, meaning if you have moisture it microbes.”
