- Energy Efficiency: The 20°C lower application temperature reduces energy consumption in the production process, contributing to a lower operational carbon footprint.
- Industrial Compostability: With a 92.67% compostability rate, ECOMELT TRUE supports a circular economy by minimizing waste and reducing dependency on fossil-based materials.
ECOMELT TRUE is formulated with high-quality, responsibly sourced raw materials, ensuring sustainability beyond carbon reduction:
- Reliable Availability: Sufficient raw material supply supports large-scale production.
