Green single-dose: thinking of tomorrow

The result of Lameplast research, an entire range of  containers can now be moulded in Bioplastic,  totally made  from renewable raw materials: environmentally friendly and great marketing tools.

The future of packaging? It’s green. Lameplast Group for one is convinced of this and, after launching the first injection molded single-dose in Green Polyethylene (Bio PE), is now able to offer a full range of bioplastic containers (made that is  from vegetal raw materials) as an alternative to those made from oil-based plastic. The Lameplast Group  is thus implementing many years of studies aimed at developing “bio” solutions, using a product by  Braskem (I’m Greentm Polyethylene), distributed by FKuR Kunststoff GmbH. Based on initial positive feedback, the biopolymers can now be used to make single-dose and multidose containers for foodstuffs, cosmetics and personal care products.

The strongpoints of Bio PE
Advantages for the environment but also actual support for the “green” projects of the users: unlike traditional plastics, Green Polyethylene is made from ethanol obtained from sugar cane. The result? A unique plastic with the same technical characteristics, appearance and versatility of traditional PE, but many other strongpoints.
It is sustainable. Sugar cane crops used for the production of Green Polyethylene fulfil highest sustainability standards defined in the Braskem Code of Conduct.
It is renewable. The polyethylene is made from ethanol obtained from GMO-free sugar cane grown in Brazil.
It helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sugar cane captures and holds CO2 from the atmosphere during every growth cycle, contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
It is 100% recyclable. At the end of its lifespan Green Polyethylene can be recycled in the same chains already developed for conventional PE.
