Why Bioplastic

Why is there a need to add - bio to plastics?

Plastic is good for the environment........... Well, at least this one is.

Adding bio to plastics is necessary to address the environmental concerns associated with traditional plastics. Here are some reasons why bio-based plastics are important:

• Reduce Dependency on Fossil Fuels: Bio-based plastics are derived from renewable resources such as plants, biomass, or agricultural waste, reducing the reliance on finite fossil fuel reserves.
• Minimize Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Bio-based plastics have the potential to emit fewer greenhouse gases during production compared to conventional plastics, leading to a lower carbon footprint.
• Promote Circular Economy: Bio-based plastics can be designed to be biodegradable or compostable, facilitating their integration into the circular economy. They can be recycled, composted, or naturally decomposed, reducing waste accumulation and environmental pollution.
• Alleviate Plastic Waste Issues: Bio-based plastics offer an alternative to traditional plastics, which often end up in landfills, oceans, or as litter. Biodegradable or compostable bio-plastics can help mitigate plastic pollution by breaking down naturally.
• Encourage Sustainable Practices: The development and use of bio-based plastics encourage sustainable agricultural practices, resource efficiency, and the adoption of eco-friendly manufacturing processes.
• Support Innovation and Research: The demand for bio-based plastics drives research and innovation in the field, leading to the development of new materials with improved properties and reduced environmental impact.
• Saving the ocean floors and landfills: We’ll let the numbers do the talking. Do you know 8 million tonnes of plastic are dumped in our oceans every day? 79% of plastic is accumulating in landfills as litter. The bottom line – There’s an overload of plastic on planet earth. Bioplastic is 100% biodegradable and compostable, which means less load on our environment and ecosystem. We think about the end of lifecycle, right from the start. We take great pride in being an eco-conscious modern manufacturer and thinking about the end of the lifecycle of each of our products, be it recycling or composting them.
