HOW DO WE TURN PLANTS INTO PLASTIC?

Sugar is taken from plant sources (wheat, corn, or beet crops); then, the yeast is used to ferment the sugars. After that, the sugar is cooked with the yeast in a purification process (chemical process) that will transform this organic matter into plastic.

BIOCORKS HAVE A “BIO” LABEL WITH A HIGH RELIEF ON THE BOTTOM.

Health-conscious consumers expect transparency from the brands they purchase, and pay close attention to the back label. The packaging is an important component that also defines the inside of the product.

REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOT PRINT.

Biocorks are recyclable to contribute to the circular economy and with a reverse carbon footprint. Bio-based plastics have a unique advantage over conventional plastics to reduce the dependency on limited fossil resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Plants sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) during their growth. Using these plants (renewable biomass) to produce bio-based plastics removes CO2 from the atmosphere and keeps it stored throughout the entire product life.

PROMOTE THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY.

The evolution towards the circular economy depends on brands buying recyclable supplies. The Circular Economy is a system of resource use whose pillar is the use of four "R" s: reduce, reuse, repair, and recycle. It is a model that goes beyond recycling and aims to go to the root of the problem to offer viable solutions.

Recyclable is "to make something new again,” while biodegradable is capable of being slowly destroyed and broken down into small parts by natural processes. Bioplastic bets or is committed to a circular economy while biodegradable one is not
