Bionolle® is an aliphatic polyester resin that has the versatility of common plastics and is stable under ordinary conditions. However, Binolle® becomes degradable in compost, wet soil, fresh water, seawater and activated sludge where microorganisms are present. It will decompose completely into water and carbon dioxide, and is therefore called "Eco-friendly material".

MINERV-PHA is a high-performance PHA biopolymer. MINERV-PHA is endowed with optimal thermal properties. Production needs which range from -10°C to a +180°C can be met through characterization. This product is particularly suitable for injection and extrusion methods for the production of objects. It takes the place of highly pollutant materials such as PET, PP, PE, HDPE and LDPE. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a linear polyester naturally occurring as a result of bacterial fermentation of sugar waste. This family can bring together more than 100 differing monomers to produce materials whose properties vary very greatly. Thermoplastic or elastomeric materials can be created with melting points ranging from 40 to more than 180°C.
