THE CAMM MATERIAL

MIMICKING NATURE

CAMM® represents a breakthrough in material science, copying nature's own processes. It's engineered to function like plastic, yet when it's time to decompose, it does so with care for the environment, integrating back into the ecosystem without leaving harmful traces.

DISSOLVING WHEN NEEDED

CAMM’s unique ability to dissolve in water or compost soil showcases scientific ingenuity, mimicking nature's own decomposition process in an eco-conscious way. Depending on the formulation and application CAMM® dissolves in minutes to months. It's like magic, but it's really science!

INDUSTRIAL MACHINE APPROVED

Finishing products so they can be processed on industrial machinery is the most challenging part – it can take months or even years. This is where many young companies and new products fail. At Camm, thanks to a dedicated team, we have industrialized a suite of products to market-readiness for packaging: fiber-based flexible packaging with CAMM® (e.g., air pillows and cupstock), film packaging, and rigid packaging. These solutions made with CAMM® have been validated by renowned machine manufacturers at an industrial scale. They are ready to replace significant amounts of plastic, and we will continue expanding this list each year. Our CAMM® pellets – the base material - are produced in our Spanish facility – today with a capacity of 6.000 tons and growing. Conversion takes place through a network of global converting and packaging partners.

ENABLING HIGH-QUALITY RECYCLING

CAMM® supports recycling, especially as a coating on paper. In the paper pulping process at traditional paper recycling mills, the CAMM® layer dissolves immediately and biodegrades completely, allowing for the recovery of over 99% of the paper fibers. This ensures an uninterrupted recycling process without leaving harmful residues such as microplastics. By enabling the easy separation of materials and supporting decolorization and deinking, CAMM® helps produce high-quality recycled fibers.

Designed to meet PPWR requirements, it integrates seamlessly into existing recycling systems.
