Frequently Asked Question
What does the Solinatra Trust Mark represent?
The Solinatra Trust Mark indicates that a material or product is made of Solinatra’s natural engineered material. It signals system participation based on defined criteria and ongoing compliance. It is not a marketing badge and does not imply endorsement.

How is Solinatra beyond bioplastics?
Solinatra goes beyond bioplastics by evaluating materials based on behaviour, not origin or composition. The term bioplastic describes what a material is made of, it does not define how that material performs after use. Bioplastics can include a wide range of materials, some of which still fragment into persistent particles or rely on synthetic additives. Solinatra applies behaviour-based assessment, evaluating materials on fragmentation, residue outcomes, and safe reintegration into natural systems. This is what distinguishes Solinatra from the broader bioplastics category.

What does NO HARM mean?
No Harm is a design principle requiring that materials do not create persistent microplastics, toxic residues, or irreversible disruption to natural systems. This principle is applied under intended and foreseeable use conditions and focuses on preventing harmful outcomes at the material level.

What is Natural Engineered Material?
No Harm is a design principle requiring that materials do not create persistent microplastics, toxic residues, or irreversible disruption to natural systems. This principle is applied under intended and foreseeable use conditions and focuses on preventing harmful outcomes at the material level.
Natural Engineered Material is a material that is natural in origin and engineered to achieve defined performance. These materials are designed using natural inputs and are evaluated based on behaviour—including whether it produces persistent microplastic or toxic residues after use.
What does Solinatra mean?
The name Solinatra is derived from two roots: “Soli,” meaning only, and “Natra,” inspired by nature. Together, the name represents the idea of “only natural.”
