Reducing environmental impact through renewable resources
Plant-derived raw materials Biomass PE and PET are derived from renewable plant resources, helping to reduce CO2 emissions compared to petroleum-derived plastic. Bioplastics have the same physical and chemical properties as regular plastics and can be recycled. Using biomass raw materials reduces CO2 emissions throughout the life cycle of the container, and reduces the use of petrochemical resources.

Biomass PE
Biomass PE is polyethylene derived from the by-products of sugar production, replacing petroleum-based raw materials. The key ingredient of PE is ethylene glycol, a colourless and odourless organic compound typically derived from fossil fuels. In the case of Biomass PE, ethylene glycol is refined from the waste molasses from processing sugar cane. The result is a material with approximately 96% plant-derived content. During the growth cycle of sugar cane, it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere. Although the raw ingredients of Biomass PE are plant-based, the resulting product has the same chemical specifications as petroleum-derived PE and is not biodegradable.

Biomass PET
Biomass PET is an alternative to petroleum-based resin and is made by refining ethanol from sugar cane (waste molasses), which represents 30% (by weight) of PET raw materials. Using Biomass PET as a raw material helps to reduce the use of petrochemical resources. During the growth cycle of the sugar cane, it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere, making the Biomass plastic materials essentially carbon neutral. Because bioethanol derived from biomass and ethanol from petrochemicals are chemically equivalent, Biomass PET is not biodegradable. It is fully recyclable.
