Bio-based packaging Bio-based materials can be used as alternatives when fighting the heavy plastic waste disposed into landfills. They are made from renewable materials that have their origins in nature. Such materials can be paper (obtained from wood fibres), cellulose fibres or various plastics, such as bio-PE (made from sugar cane), corn starch, cellophane, bio-PET, PBA or natural rubber. Biopack Logimarkt’s Biopack plant-based protective packaging is similar to expanded polystyrene and uses bio-based raw materials. It is made from residual waste from the maize, which is unsuitable for food production and heavily generated when corn is processed. To the composition, a natural binding agent is added. Thus the final product can have customized dimensions according to each client’s preferences. Biopack is biodegradable and breaks down quickly once it has been used. The environmentally friendly packaging can be composted or disposed of entirely in an organic waste bin (at home). Only the CO2 that the maize plant has accumulated throughout growth is released. Unlike polystyrene, Logimarkt’s plant-based packaging has a significantly lower overall CO2 footprint. Throughout its entire existence, it emits 51% less CO2. Therefore, it is a versatile packaging option that is sustainable and good for the environment.
