2023 Environmental Heroes of the Year

 

Product Info

Sulapac’s material differs from the majority of biobased and biodegradable plastics in that it biodegrades in the open environment at the same speed as natural wood and leaves no toxic residue or permanent microplastics behind. In addition, Sulapac’s biobased and biodegradable materials have a carbon footprint 87-94% lower than conventional fossil-based plastics. Circular by design, Sulapac materials are suitable for chemical recycling and are also made using recycled materials. In addition to selling material produced by subcontractors, Sulapac is conducting joint development projects with global brands such as Chanel and Shiseido. Products made of Sulapac in the food services sector are available in outlets such as Carrefour and used by brands like Four Seasons.
