More and more manufacturers of packaging are focussing on biodegradable products. Obvious as you know that the worldwide annual use of plastics is estimated at 240 million tons. All these conventional plastics (PE, PP, PS, PET) are derivates of mineral oil resources and are consuming roughly 30 % of the total oil production.
Through this, oil stocks nowadays are on the decline and we are running the risk to have a oil shortage by 2040.
Burning fossil resources contribute to an increased CO² emission, causing a increase of the average temperature ( Greenhouse effect). Using biodegradable alternatives is an important step in the right directions as climate change can create far-reaching negative consequenses. Biodegradable packaging enables a saving of 30 % to 80 % of the CO² emission.
The abundance in natural resources and the growing concern for our environment, were both a perfect inducement to intensify the use of environmentally friendly packaging based on renewable resources.
“Denico Green Products” has specialised in sales of biodegradable products.
Besides products for food applications (cups, trays, plates, bowls,...) our range covers a large variety in non-food applications such as : biodegradable laundry bags, shopping bags, films, flower pots...
Biodegradable packaging is made of bioplastics ( biodegradable polymers) or fibres crops ( sugarcane, bamboo, palm leaf,...)
All products are 100 % biodegradable though some are certified for biodegradability and compostability in industrial composting facilities according to the European standard EN 13432.
