Ecofriendly Circular System Solutions

In the past 2 articles of Your Ordinary Plastic and Secrets of Ordinary Plastic, we have discovered that an ordinary plastic is not actually ordinary after all. If plastic seems very ordinary but the effects bring to our daily life is so devastating, there must be something wrong with the system. These are some ways to eliminate single-use plastic and make a difference.

Environmental Nature

There are 3 major materials considered to be the best solution are plant based on tree, sugarcane, and bamboo. The following natural materials are based on circular system to close the gap on linear production.

Environmental Plastic

The most considered environmental 2 solutions while using plastic-based materials are PLA (Polylactic acid) and RPET (Recycled PET). PLA is a plant-based extract converted into polymer and made into a plastic form of products. RPET is material based on used PET and recycled into a same or similar use of products as the regular PET.

Reasons to use PLA products:
♻️ Produced from corn and sugarcane
♻️ 68% reduction of of green house gas emission
♻️ emit zero toxic fumes
♻️100% biodegradable
♻️Adding value for Corporate Social Responsibility
♻️Promote your sustainability act

Reasons to use RPET products:
♻️ Recycling existing plastic
♻️ 65% reduction of green house gas emission
♻️ 100% recyclable again
♻️ Adding value for Corporate Social Responsibility
♻️Promote your sustainability act

Environmental Labels

Acknowledging globally accepted labels are the most guaranteed ways of confirming its environmental existence. The 2 types of certified labels are

Material Certifications

Paper & Wood

A FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

Food Contact

LFGB (Lebensmittel und Bedarfsgegenstaende und Futtermittelgesetzbuch) is known for daily necessities and act as German food health management. It is the most important basic legal documents and other special food sanitation laws, regulations, and guidelines.

Biodegradable Plastic

P-Life is a proprietary additive technology that makes polyolefin polymers, considered as non- biodegradable polymers, into Oxo- Biodegradable polymers.

Compostable Products

Packaging or products featuring the OK Compost label (based on European standard EN 13432: 2000) guaranteed as biodegradable & compostable in an industrial composting plant and applies to all components, inks, and additives.

Safety Certifications

International

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental, international organization that develops standards to ensure the quality, safety, and efficiency of products, services, and systems.

European

CE (Conformitè Europëenne) marking indicates that a product has been assessed by the manufacturer and deemed to meet EU safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.

United States

The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices

Switzerland

SGS (Standard Global Services) certifies components and finished products for wide range of goods, for both consumer and commercial products, including electrical and electronic, toys and juvenile products, and hardlines.

Currently, we are scratching the surface of exploring and finding the best solutions for an absolute circular system. The only way for such conversion to make a smooth transition for an environmental world is to have everyone be aware of the seriousness and we are improving step by step to get closer.
