New materials from natural wastes
Last shall be first
We valorize agro-industrial waste in an innovative way by creating technological biofillers that can be used in many different material applications

The WGS biofiller is our technological biofiller obtained from the wine seeds meal by-products. These residues are generated by Tampieri spa in Faenza, thus representing a true example of zero kilometers. The WGS biofiller can be supplied in different grades:
• WGS B grades
• WGS Advanced grades
• WGS Sand&Fiber grades
• WGS Master grades
WGS B grades
The WGS B grades are our most versatile grades which can be successfully used in many applications. They are composed both by tiny particles and micro-fibers to simultaneously improve processability and mechanical response.
WGS Advanced grades
The WGS Advanced grades are our customized biofillers for specific needs. We can improve many properties such as hydrophobicity, dosability and flowability, and mechanical response.
WGS Sand&Fiber grades
The WGS Sand&Fiber grades are our biofillers composed of coarser particles and fibers, to be used when a visible presence of the biofiller in the finished product is desidered or for applications in which dustiness needs to be avoided
WGS Master grades
WGS biofillers can be concentrated (up to 50-60%) into masterbatches using polyolefinic or biodegradable resins as carriers to facilitate their use for plastic applications.
