Injection Moulding Biodegradable Bio-Plastics (Granules)
Ukhi’s EcoGran™ compostable injection moulding granules are perfect for brands that want to replace conventional PP/PS components with petroleum-based plastics alternatives without switching to a new manufacturing process. Our compostable biopolymer compound delivers a clean surface finish and consistent flow in the mould. It allows for the moulding of rigid articles through standard injection moulding machinery.
Injection Moulding Biopolymer
Carbon-Smart and Compostable Bioplastic Resin for Sustainable Markets
Our injection moulding biopolymer transforms directly into high use articles like injection-moulded cups for cold beverages that compost after service. These include full cutlery sets (spoons, forks, knives) and specialty U-Clips & M-Clips for automotive and appliance assemblies.
Engineered from agricultural waste fibres, UKHI’s compostable injection moulding granules deliver the dimensional stability and post-mould strength designers expect from ABS thermoplastic polymer. It allows brands to cut up to 70 % CO₂ versus petroleum plastics while keeping cycle times competitive on standard moulding lines.
Our Product Range
Milky White Film Resin (EGBF – OP)
Ideal for carry bags, grocery bags, liner bags, pouches/covers and garbage bags where opacity and strength are essential.

FAQs
It is the same injection moulding process that manufacturers already use to melt and injected granules into a mould to form a rigid part. Our compostable biopolymer compound uses this process and is designed to break down under industrial composting conditions unlike PP or PS.
Yes. Melt temperatures run 170–190 °C, similar to PP grades. You can maintain most existing PP settings existing PP settings after minor gate and vent tweaks.
UKHI is India’s leading manufacturer of compostable biopolymer for production of injection moulding cups and cutlery sets. Our injection moulding biodegradable bioplastics meet FDA 21 CFR indirect food contact criteria.
Rigid, repeatable parts that need good stiffness and a clean finish. Common examples include cutlery, lids/caps, cosmetic cases, small housings, and packaging accessories. These are also widely referenced as mainstream injection-moulded bioplastic applications.
Our biopolymer disintegrates within 90 days and fully biodegrades by 180 days in a certified industrial facility (≥58 °C, high humidity).
At container load volumes, EcoGran™ compostable resin costs about 10-15 % above commodity ABS. However, you can offset that through EPR fee reductions in some countries and/or consumer price premiums for eco-labelled products.
Unlike many natural-fibre biocomposites limited to earthy hues, our biopolymer blend accepts standard masterbatches, including pastel white,s because of the fine hemp micro-fibres that stay below the colour visibility threshold.
You can store compostable injection moulding biopolymers in a dry space below 30 °C for 12 months. We pack in moisture so the granules stay dry and ready to process.
