Helvicon TPS granulate is a modern polymer material based on potato starch, designed for use in plastics processing. It was developed for companies seeking functional solutions based on renewable raw materials.
The material can be processed using standard technologies such as extrusion, blown film extrusion, and thermoforming, allowing for implementation without the need for significant changes to existing machinery.
Key features:
- raw material base derived from potato starch
- compatible with standard processing lines
- wide range of industrial applications
- formulation can be tailored to client needs
- selected end products may offer biodegradability and compostability potential

Biopolymers are a group of polymer materials made wholly or partly from renewable raw materials such as plant starch.
In the materials developed under the Helvicon brand, one of the key ingredients is potato starch, which, after appropriate processing, can serve as a base for modern polymer materials. During the modification process, it can be converted into thermoplastic starch (TPS - Thermoplastic Starch) used in biopolymer production.
We design our biopolymers to:
• offer performance properties similar to conventional plastics
• be processed on standard production lines
• enable the development of highly functional products
• meet biodegradability and compostability requirements
We develop Helvicon biopolymers for film and packaging manufacturers, as well as for industries using polymer materials across a wide range of industrial applications.
Thanks to formulations based on potato starch, our materials can support sustainability strategies and ESG goals while remaining compatible with existing production lines used in the plastics industry.

Biopolimery to grupa materiałów polimerowych wytwarzanych w całości lub części z surowców odnawialnych, takich jak skrobia roślinna.
W materiałach rozwijanych pod marką Helvicon jednym z podstawowych składników jest skrobia ziemniaczana, która po odpowiednim przetworzeniu może stanowić bazę do produkcji nowoczesnych materiałów polimerowych.
Nasze biopolimery projektujemy tak, aby:
- zachowywały właściwości użytkowe zbliżone do tradycyjnych tworzyw sztucznych
- mogły być przetwarzane na standardowych liniach produkcyjnych
- umożliwiały tworzenie produktów o wysokiej funkcjonalności
- spełniały wymagania dotyczące biodegradacji i kompostowalności.
Biopolimery Helvicon rozwijamy z myślą o producentach folii i opakowań, branży rolniczej, ogrodniczej oraz innych sektorach wykorzystujących materiały polimerowe.
Dzięki kompozycjom opartym na skrobi ziemniaczanej nasze materiały mogą wspierać strategie zrównoważonego rozwoju i ESG, a jednocześnie być przetwarzane na istniejących liniach produkcyjnych stosowanych w przemyśle tworzywowym.
Ourbiopolymers make it possible to create a wide range of products, including:
• films and bags
• single-use packaging
• waste management products, including bags designed for the collection of organic waste
These solutions combine high functionality with an approach that takes the full material life cycle into account. One of the key application areas for compostable materials is selective organic waste collection within municipal waste management systems.
We offer compostable bags designed for the collection oforganic waste in households.
Our solutions are developed to support selective organic waste collection systems and improve the quality of the organic waste stream directed to processing facilities.
The use of compostable bags can:
• make it easier for local communities to collect household organic waste
• reduce the presence of conventional plastics in the organic waste stream
• improve the efficiency of organic waste collection systems
Bags made from compostable materials can undergo biological decomposition in composting processes, becoming part of broader organic waste management systems.
Our materials and products are designed to meet there quirements of recognized compostability certification systems such as OK compost HOME and OK compost INDUSTRIAL.
These certifications confirm a material’s ability to compost under home-composting conditions and its compliance with requirements relating to:
• biodegradability
• compostability
• environmental
• safety
Under the Helvicon brand, we develop material solutions for use across various areas of the packaging industry and waste management sector.
Our offering includes:
• biopolymer compounds intended for further processing
• compostable films
• compostable bags
• single-use bags
Our solutions are intended both for packaging manufacturers and plastics processors, as well as for partners developing technologies that support the circular economy, including waste management entities and local government institutions.
