There are many ways we can help you meet your eco-friendly objectives:
• Our products and packaging are made without any chemicals of concern. If you’re focused on reducing potentially hazardous chemicals in everyday life, our plant-based products and packaging can make an impact.
• If you’re increasing your use of renewables (or kicking fossil fuels to the curb, as we like to say!), our products and packaging all include renewable plant-based content.
• Our material formulations can include up to 50% recycled content. This is mostly post-industrial recycled material that comes from our own manufacturing processes. For those of you focused on PCR rates, we do have a Bio-PET formulation that contains up to 33% PCR.
• Our 99% plant-based PLA material is produced using less energy, meaning you may benefit from an immediate reduction in CO2 emissions. Full disclosure – specific CO2 reductions have to be confirmed through custom life cycle assessments that take into account your current processes and transportation network.
• Through updated designs and/or downgauging, you can reduce the amount of material being used in your products and packaging. And if you switch to compostable PLA, you’ll benefit by using a material that results in products and packaging that are typically about 10% lighter than their PET counterparts. Cue the transportation savings!
