Bio-based plastics are fully or partially made from biological resources, rather than fossil raw materials. Bio-based plastic refers to a type of plastic that is derived from renewable resources, such as plants or agricultural byproducts, instead of fossil fuels. It offers a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics.

Sugarcane bagasse, the fibrous residue left over after extracting juice from sugarcane, can be processed and transformed into bio-based plastic. The bagasse undergoes treatments to extract cellulose fibers, which are then modified and processed into polymer resins. These resins form the base material for bio-based plastics.

Bio-based plastic made from sugarcane bagasse offers several advantages. It is renewable, as it utilizes a byproduct of sugarcane production. It reduces reliance on fossil fuels, lowers carbon emissions, and contributes to mitigating climate change. Additionally, it can possess biodegradable properties and exhibit versatility in terms of mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties.

We firmly believe that good packaging should not only perfectly protect your product but also our environment. This is why we have been closely examining alternative sources of raw materials for quite some time.
