Woodly is produced mainly from wood-based cellulose, the most common organic polymer in the world. The exact formula is a trade secret, but all the other ingredients are commonly known and safe to use.

Value of carbon emissions reduced:
23,840,000 €
The calculation is based on the emission reduction potential from replacing traditional plastic production with Woodly and the price for EU Carbon Permits in June 2022.
Mechanical recycling in closed loops is the most value-preserving process keeping the quality at a similar level – like turning a PET bottle into another PET bottle or material of equal quality.
Woodly can be mechanically recycled five times without loss of quality. It is not biodegradable, but as recyclable plastic it can have an endless life cycle.
