???? Household Waste Packaging Solutions: The Natursac Commitment
1. The Transition to Biosourced: Reducing the Fossil Footprint
Conventional garbage bags are made from plastic derived from fossil resources (petroleum), which is a non-renewable resource. Natursac is committed to the ecological transition by integrating plant-based materials.
To measure this approach, we refer to the TUV AUSTRIA IK BIOBASED standard, which uses a star system to indicate the percentage of biosourced content:
| Stars | % Biosourced Content |
| 4 Stars | 100% biosourced content |
| 1 Star | 25% to 40% biosourced content |
???? The Natursac Approach: The 1-Star Formulation
We have opted for a 1-star formulation in order to combine a reduced ecological impact (integration of natural resource plastic) with an affordable price for our customers.
This approach aims to minimize greenhouse gas emissions by:
-
Integrating a percentage of natural resource (biosourced) plastic into standard plastic.
-
Achieving a lower carbon impact through the use of young carbon.
2. A Fully Compostable Solution: PLA
Concerned with offering the latest solutions, we recently introduced PLA bags.
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a fully biodegradable thermoplastic polymer that uses renewable raw materials of plant origin.
This new range of compostable bags (PLA) has been added to our existing offering (which already included oxo-fragmentable bags, commonly called oxo-degradable).
???? Certification and Quality
The new compostable range is BPI certified (the leading North American certifier of compostable products and packaging), thus guaranteeing maximum performance and integrity.
