09/08/2011
This new product is a film that partially uses a raw material derived from sugarcane and has a biomass ratio of up to 40% (ratio by weight). While using a raw material derived from plants, the film retains the same performance as existing films in terms of properties such as shock resistance and ease of tearing.This product is being used for standing refill pouches for items such as hair care products.
Biomass plastic is a renewable resource that uses plant-based raw materials and can be used sustainably. The volume of CO2 generated during incineration and the volume absorbed during the growth of the plant cancel each other out, it is receiving attention as an environmentally friendly material that can reduce CO2 emissions in comparison with oil-based plastics.
Full-scale sales will be launched from August 2011. |
