These J-Pack BIO BASED tubes are made of plastic made from Brazilian sugar cane. This unique 'green polyethylene' is much more environmentally friendly to produce than traditional plastic. The inventor and producer, Braskem, has created the official "I'm Green" seal to clearly show that the plastic is made from the unique sugar cane formula. Help make the world greener and cleaner and choose BIO BASED tubes!
I'm Green Quality Mark The I'm Green plastic quality mark may only be used if a product is made from 100% sugar cane. The major advantages of bioplastic compared to 'normal' plastic is that bioplastic is made from renewable biomass and does not use fossil fuels.
Production process Sugar cane stores CO2 gases during the photosynthesis process during its growth, after which the sugar cane is harvested and processed into sugar and ethanol. Bagasse remains as a waste product. The sugar is destined for the food industry. After processing sugar cane into sugar and ethanol, bagasse remains. The waste product bagasse is used to generate green energy. The ethanol is used to produce plastic. In the production process of I'm Green plastic, sustainable CO2-friendly processes that prevent waste have been taken into account in every phase of the product.
