PRINTED POLYTHENE HAS ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE MANAGEMENT OF PLASTIC WASTE IS A GROWING GLOBAL CONCERN AND IT IS ALREADY TAKING ITS STEPS TO
A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
HOW
On one hand, we are focusing on the production of films containing recycled materials, obtained from post-industrial and post-consumer waste.
On the other hand, the commitment of PRINTED POLYTHENE to a more sustainable future for plastic flexible packaging is put into practice by the development of materials made using bio-based feedstocks.
Being Bio-based rather than Bio-degradable means that renewable sources are used and there is NO loss of valuable non-renewable fossil fuels.
The raw material used to make Green Polyethylene is ethanol coming from sugarcane fermentation, that means from a renewable source. NOT FOSSIL BASED.
Its production has a favourable carbon footprint: on one side, sugarcane plantations capture CO2, while on the other side, the production process and transformation in green ethylene and polyethylene systems have less environmental impacts, helping to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. In numbers, for every 1 tonne of I’m green polyethylene produced, 3,09 tonnes of CO2 is removed from the atmosphere.
