Polythene packaging that is better for businesses and better for the planet

LEEDS, U.K. - Oct. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- Marpak Extrusions is among the very first UK film producers to offer polythene packaging using Braskem’s revolutionary polymer; Green PE.  The product is acclaimed worldwide - having won awards - and is obtained from sugarcane ethanol; a renewable energy source.

It is just the latest product material that underlines Marpak’s commitment to protecting the environment through its supply chain activities; and sends out a statement of intent of its strategy and how it feels the industry as a whole should be moving.

The process behind the manufacture of sugarcane-based Green PE is simple but very effective.  Wild sugarcane captures carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, which helps to produce ethanol and renewable energy.  This results in the production of Green Ethylene and Green Polyethylene which can be used to produce packaging that is completely recyclable and reduces greenhouse gases.

Braskem Green PE uses sugarcane that is grown in the south of Brazil, around 2,000km away from the rainforest.  It takes up just 0.2% of Brazil’s total arable land and has exactly the same properties as PE made from Fossil Fuels - using the same recycle systems as well.

Braskem’s Green Polymer in products can be identified by the “I’m Green” label: every 1mt of “I’m Green” polyethylene captures the equivalent to 2mt of carbon dioxide.
