PLA

Compostable PLA is made from surplus renewable material: fermentable corn starch. The lactic acid formed during fermentation is collected and polymerised into PLA. Bioplastics such as PLA offer society a way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Consequently they are useful in helping to prevent climate change.

  • Recyclable in modern recycling plants
  • Available certification: EN13432

BAGASSA

Compostable bagasse is a great example of upcycling. It is made with surplus natural material from sugar production: sugar cane stems. Bagasse will readily biodegrade under controlled composting conditions. Once composted it turns to soil in just a few weeks.

  • Suitable for industrial composting
  • May be sorted with food waste depending on local regulations
  • Available certification: EN13432

rPET

rPET is made from recycled plastic bottles – which otherwise would end up in landfill sites or burnt as fuel. Typically, rPet has a 50% lower carbon footprint than virgin plastic. Our rPET products contain up to 80% recycled plastic. Food safety rules mean that the other 20% must be virgin plastic. The rPET we use is regularly tested to ensure it meets food safety rules – and for content of metals and hazardous materials.

  • Documented supply chain
  • Recyclable as a standard plastic
NB: The products in our CPET ecoecho® range contain 60% rPET

CARDBOARD

All the cardboard solutions we offer are made from renewable materials. In most cases they are compostable too. To qualify as ecoecho®, our cardboard products must be either FSC-certified or have a compostable lining. Some meet both these criteria.

  • Recyclable as cardboard
  • Available certification for PLA or PBS-lined products: EN13432

ECOECHO® BIOPLASTIC

LThe manufacture of ecoecho® bioplastic is integrated with the production of sugar – in a highly efficient process.
Ecoecho® bioplastic is made from sugar cane: 94% of the organic carbon in the material is from plant-based resources.
LCA (life cycle assessment) shows ecoecho® bioplastic has a 25% lower carbon footprint than standard plastics.
