High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
Is a thermoplastic polymer made from petroleum. As one of the most versatile plastic materials around, HDPE plastic is used in a wide variety of applications has a high-impact resistance and melting point.
Easily Recycled
• Considering how much plastic we use in our day-to-day lives, one of the most important factors when deciding on a material is plastic recycling.
• HDPE plastic is easily recyclable, helping keep non-biodegradable waste out of landfills, while helping reduce plastic production by up to 50 percent!
• If you’re looking for a cost-effective, environmentally responsible material, HDPE may be the plastic for you.
mineral paper
We can all take steps to help reduce our carbon footprint and slow down climate change as much as possible. One way we are doing so is with Mineral Paper. Mineral Paper is made with 50% less plastic and is made from 100% recyclable plastic (recyclable #2). By using this eco-friendly material we hope to reduce our waste and help preserve our planet.
Recycled into:
• Laundry detergent bottles
• Oil bottles
• Pens
• Recycling containers
• Floor tile
• Drainage pipe
• Lumber
• Benches
• Doghouses
• Picnic tables
• Fencing
• Shampoo bottles
Stone Wrap
The paper industry has a very significant impact on the environment. Deforestation, high water and energy uses for production, and greenhouse gas emissions are all environmental concerns associated with pulp and paper mills. That’s why we’re proud to offer Stone Wrap™ as an eco-friendly paper alternative. Stone Wrap™ requires 4x less energy to produce than paper, and no trees or water are used in its production.
Stone Wrap™ is a limestone based sustainable paper alternative made without water, bleaching, or deforestation.

EarthFirst® PLA
{Compostable • Carbon Neutral • Renewable Plant Base} made with Ingeo™
• Made from annually renewable plant resource
• Just 0.3kg of CO2 generated per kg of polymer produced
• Biodegrades in a maximum of 44 days when composted at a commercial composting facility
• Excellent shelf life under recommended conditions (-70° to 125° F in supported applications)
• Certified to meet both ASTM D6400 (USA) and EN 13432 (EU) standars
• Per 100lbs. of PLA material used, nearly 14 gallons of gas are recovered, enough CO2 is reduced to offset all emissions from a car for over 6 weeks, and enough energy is saved to power a 100-watt lightbulb for 8 months
KRAFT
The natural resources on our planet are limited so we must make the most to conserve, recycle and reuse whenever possible- that is one of the many reasons why we love Kraft Paper. Kraft Paper can be made from recycled materials, is 100% recyclable, and biodegrades in just a few weeks. It’s production is also self-sustaining as the chemicals used in the kraft process are recovered and reused.
Kraft paper can be made using all types of wood, including resinous pine and bamboo, which are left out of traditional paper making processes.
Kraft Paper Recyclable 100% Post Consumer Recycled Content
• Available in sheets and rolls
Virtually undisguisable from traditional plastics, these films contain additives which accelerate the degradation process, enabling the materials to be consumed by microorganisms in as little as one year, depending on the disposable environment.
BIODEGRADABLE FILM
Virtually undisguisable from traditional plastics, these films contain additives which accelerate the degradation process, enabling the materials to be consumed by microorganisms in as little as one year, depending on the disposable environment.
BioBOPP Oxo-Biodegradable
** Recyclable
• Can be recycled with conventional plastics prior to the onset of degradation
• Virtually indistinguishable from traditional plastic materials
• Degradation is triggered by UV light/sunlight and enhanced by mechanical stress
• Proven to degrade in a landfill environment, ultimately taking up less landfill space
• Biodegrades into CO2, H2O, and biomass with no adverse toxilogical effects or by-products
• Degrades and physically disintegrates within one to two years, depending on formulation and the disposal environment
BioCPP Oxo-Biodegradable
** Recyclable
• Biodegrades aerobically and anaerobically (with or without the presence of oxygen)
• In the presence of oxygen, the breakdown process produces only CO2 and H2O
• Can be recycled with conventional plastics prior to the onset of degradation
• Breaks down in as little as one year- up to five years in less favorable conditions
BIOLOGIq
We want to do our part in reducing our environmental footprint and making better choices that will positively impact our environment, the animals and the people in the world. One way we are doing this is by offering biodegradable and compostable plastic options. NuPlastiQ™ is a low cost, high performance Bioplastic Resin made from 100% sustainable and annually renewable resources and can be designed to biodegrade or compost.
Designed to be mixed with fossil-based resins to
• Enable 45% reduction in fossil-fuel resin use
• Achieve 50% stronger physical performance
• Achieve 44% reduction in CO2 GHG emissions
• Enable complete biodegradation of blended products
