About Headway Solutions
Headway Solutions GmbH, based in Meggen (LU), Switzerland, is a provider of sustainable polymer solutions for the packaging, plastics, textile and film extrusion industries. The portfolio includes compostable polymers (PBS, PBAT as well as PBS/PBAT blends in compounds and masterbatches), recycled PET products (PET flakes in clear and light blue quality as well as chemically and mechanically recycled, food-grade-capable RPET) and biopolymers (Bio PET with up to 30% plant-based content). In addition to material supply, the company offers technical support, including R&D support for processing optimization, barrier analyses (OTR/WVTR), package prototyping, material and performance testing, compostability testing as well as regulatory consulting on REACH, FDA and ECHA, food-contact compliance, composting certifications, carbon-footprint analyses, C14 analyses for bio-content and life cycle assessments. The company works with an international team and serves customers in film and blow molding extrusion, injection molding and sheet production.

Polymers and Processes
PBS (Polybutylene Succinate)
Compostable bioplastic for extrusion, lamination, blow film, injection molding and sheet extrusion; available on a bio- or fossil-based basis, in various MFI grades, and as compound and masterbatch.
PBAT
Compostable polymer (MFR 2.5–4.5) for blow film and injection molding, available as compound and masterbatch.
PBS PBAT Blend
Blend of both compostable polymers for flexible packaging applications.
PET Flakes (clear, light blue)
High-purity recycling flakes for sheet and RPET production.
RPET (chemically/mechanically recycled, Food Grade)
Recycled PET in food-grade quality for sheet, film, textile and bottles.
Bio PET (up to 30% plant-based)
Partially bio-based PET for sheet, film, textile and bottles.
Extrusion
Process application for PBS and PBAT processing.
Blow Film
Blown film process for compostable polymers.
Lamination
Coating and laminating application with PBS/PBAT.
