Natureplast

Description :
The BioPET is an original plastic part plant, composed of two types of materials: 70% terephthalic acid (PTA), 30% monoethylene glycol (MEG). The latter can be produced using materials made from plants (sugar cane molasses food).
The compound from the plant replaces one molecule of PET but its final chemical composition is exactly the same. Product quality remains unchanged and it is 100% recyclable plastic in the traditional sector!
The use of this material reduces CO2 emissions by 15% and our dependence on oil.
