*Compostability and biodegradation depend on the product, its format and the disposal environment, and are subject to applicable standards and certifications. Certification scope is confirmed per product.
How ViroMelt works
Every product follows the same disciplined path — local manufacturing, product-specific material selection, and documented quality control.
Material inputs are sourced with certification documentation under applicable standards.
Material grade is selected per product according to application, performance and intended end-of-life pathway.
Production runs at our facility in Khazaen Economic City, building domestic manufacturing capacity.
Finished products are checked under defined quality-control procedures, with supporting documentation.
Products are supplied to retailers, distributors, foodservice operators and institutions across Oman and the region.
A staged programme to develop locally sourced bio-based feedstocks from agricultural residues — subject to validation and investment.
Why ViroMelt
A credible local manufacturer connecting today's compostable products with a longer-term, locally sourced materials roadmap.
Finished products made domestically at Khazaen Economic City — supporting supply security and import substitution.
Helping retailers, distributors and institutions move away from conventional single-use plastics.
Material selection based on the product, its performance needs and its intended end-of-life pathway.
Ongoing R&D toward locally sourced bio-based materials from agricultural residues.
Technology & materials
ViroMelt develops compostable and biodegradable product solutions using carefully selected biopolymer-based materials and approved additives. Each material grade is selected according to product format, required durability, flexibility, processing method, and intended end-of-life pathway.
Compostability and biodegradability are product-specific and depend on formulation, product format, disposal environment, and applicable certification standards.
Formulations are chosen based on the product's application, required strength, flexibility, processing method, and intended disposal environment.
Our materials are designed for commercial usability — from shopping bags and films to straws, plates, and food-service products.
Product claims are made according to applicable standards and certification scope, helping customers understand how each product should be used and disposed of.
Made in Oman
ViroMelt is built in the Sultanate of Oman — advancing circular-economy solutions and supporting a cleaner, greener Oman by manufacturing alternatives to petroleum-based single-use plastics locally, rather than relying on imports.
