What is PBAT?
PBAT (Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate) is a compostable, petroleum-based polymer commonly blended with plant-based materials like corn starch to improve flexibility and tear-resistance — helping compostable bags perform more like conventional plastic while still meeting certified compostability standards. It is used in World Centric® compostable bags and films.
