Zeropack produces, to date (2025), plant clips that are based on IAMnature®, a revolutionary product made from PHA (polyoil-hydrocarbons), a polymer derived from bacterial fermentation and free of fossil fuels. PHA offers similar performance to several conventional thermoplastics while being of completely natural origin. It is the only known product compostable:

- in controlled environments (industrial composting, home composting, aerobic and anaerobic digestion, etc.)

- in uncontrolled environments such as soil, terrain, rivers, lakes and marine environments.

These products do not release microplastics into the environment and contribute to soil fertility, eliminating the need for disposal and reducing environmental impact.

The bioplastics used in Zeropack products (developed and produced by Bio-on, an Italian company, listed on the stock exchange, which developed and marketed mainly PHA) are obtained from plant sources -in particular agricultural waste- and are renewable without any competition with food chains; in most cases they guarantee the same thermo-mechanical properties as traditional plastics with the advantage of being completely 100% biodegradable in a natural way. Thanks to these particular characteristics, Bio-on now extends the use of its materials to the most innovative and interesting fields of application such as food packaging. Research in this field of application is based on PHBs, organic material that derives completely from nature.

For the future, Zeropack also aims to create other products for agriculture: films, boxes, small and large containers, supports and labels also useful for the wine sector.
