BIO-BASED PE packaging materials
Bio-based PE plastic is made either fully or partially from renewable plant-based resources such as sugar cane or corn or other biological resources, providing a more sustainable alternative to raw materials derived from petroleum. It offers the same technical advantages as traditional PE with no difference in appearance and it can be used in food grade packaging.

- Products made using Bio-based PE can still be classified as food grade.
- It is easily collected in domestic recycling and can be recycled several times with stable quality.
- It can be recycled in the same stream as fossil based PE.
- not to be confused with bio-degradable or compostable plastics as they are only used once and do not support a circular economy.
