High Performance Compostable Resin for Profile Extrusion
UKHI’s biodegradable profile extrusion granules are a next generation sustainable biopolymer that runs on conventional lines and delivers a fully compostable output. Our resin offers the dual advantage of eco‑safe compostability and smooth processing on standard profile extrusion lines. No machinery overhaul needed, brands can plug it into their existing equipment and transition from petroleum‑based plastics to a compostable, regenerative option.
Sustainable Profile Extrusion Biopolymer
Continuous and Functional Profiles for Sustainable Products
Our biodegradable profile extrusion biopolymer makes compostable straws (straight, crumpled, or L-shaped), tubes, clips, frames, handles, and any fixed cross section profile that traditional plastics currently serve. Profiles are durable and break down in controlled industrial composting systems. It reduces our reliance on carbon heavy PVC or PE profiles without sacrificing run rates or changing equipment.
Our Product Range
Compostable EcoGran Profile-extrusion resins
Compostable EcoGran™ profile-extrusion resins are engineered for crafted plastic-profile goods such as straws (straight, crumpled, L-shaped), rigid tubes, decorative trim, flag sticks, etc. They provide a balanced mix of strength, finish, and sustainability.

FAQs
A profile extrusion biopolymer is a compostable resin that can be melted and pushed through a shaped die to make continuous profiles like straws, tubes, clips, frames, or sealing strips.
Yes, after years of trial and error, UKHI has developed a compostable biopolymer that runs on conventional profile extrusion equipment without requiring major capital changes. With simple adjustments and tweaks in temperatures and screw settings, converters can move away from single‑use plastic profiles and other fossil fuel‑based products.
Our biopolymer is made from agricultural waste materials like hemp and flax fibers. It meets the ISO 17088 industrial composting standard and breaks down into organic matter under certain conditions.
UKHI is India’s leading compostable profile extrusion biopolymer manufacturer and distributor. Our formulations also meet food contact safety requirements and can be used to produce straws, handles, or other profiles used in direct food service.
UKHI’s resin matches mechanical performance of conventional plastics like PVC in the sense that it delivers comparable flexibility and durability for most profile applications. But it offers an added advantage as a sustainable polymer.
Our compostable profile extrusion biopolymer can be blended with PLA, starch, or mineral fillers. But the use of conventional PE or PP is not recommended, as it will compromise compostability.
