About traceless materials
traceless materials develops and produces plastic-free biomaterials based on natural polymers from biomass. The materials are used under the traceless® brand for packaging applications as well as for the food service industry; at INTERNORGA 2025 the company presented the traceless® food-service collection with plastic-free alternatives to conventional plastic products. In addition to finished products, the company supplies injection moulding materials: in partnership with Biesterfeld, the distribution of plastic-free injection moulding materials in Europe is being scaled. The material development builds on the tradition of natural packaging materials, which include regenerated cellulose (cellophane), and uses natural polymers from biomass as its raw material base. The company communicates in German and English and addresses customers in the packaging, food service/hospitality and consumer goods sectors.
