Biobased LDPE
If you need biobased LDPE, we use ‘OK biobased’ with a four-star rating. This is made using sugar cane and has a certified minimum biobased content of 80% (100% is not yet technically possible). It uses a waste product that is generated anyway when harvesting sugar cane. No additional arable land is required. The film is indistinguishable from fossil-based LDPE and can be recycled with this in the normal cycle. This film can naturally also be printed with a logo. Depending on the market situation, this option incurs additional costs of approx. 50%..
COMPOSTABLE
More often requested by customers, but in our opinion the least expedient option, is the use of compostable filmmade from corn or potato starch. The mere fact that such film is only compostable in industrial composting plants and will most likely never arrive at such places when disposed of casts doubt on how much sense this material actually makes. Information about the problems associated with these plastics can be found on the German Environment Agency’s website at: www.umweltbundesamt.de/themen/tueten-aus-bioplastik-sind-keine-alternative.
Despite the above, we can naturally still offer you this version and – as is particularly expedient here – print on it accordingly.
Depending on the market situation, this option incurs additional costs of approx. 350%.
