The future of plastic-free plastics!

Are you looking for a way to reduce your plastic waste and help the environment? If so, you might be interested in learning more about plant fibre plastics, a type of bioplastic that is made from renewable and natural resources. BrandHK offers a growing range of bioplastics and other innovative ways of reducing the plastic content of your corporate gifts. We call these `Next Generation Plastics` as they will be the future of plastic manufacturing within the next 10 years.

What are plant fibre plastics?

Plant fibre plastics are a kind of bioplastic, which means they are derived from biological sources instead of petroleum. Plant fibre plastics can be made from various types of plant fibres, such as wheat straw, bamboo fibre, rice husks, sugar cane, corn starch, etc. These fibres can be combined with polylactic acids (PLAs) or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) to form a plastic-like material that can be molded into different shapes and products.

How are plant fibre plastics different from conventional plastics?

One of the main differences between plant fibre plastics and conventional plastics is their environmental impact. Plant fibre plastics are biodegradable, which means they can be broken down by microorganisms into harmless substances. Conventional plastics are non-biodegradable, which means they persist in the environment for hundreds of years, causing pollution and harming wildlife. Another difference is their carbon footprint. Plant fibre plastics have a lower carbon footprint than conventional plastics because they use renewable resources that absorb carbon dioxide while growing. Conventional plastics use fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide when burned or processed.

What are some of the benefits of Next Gen plastics?

Plant fibre plastics have many benefits for consumers and manufacturers. They are cheaper than conventional plastics because they use abundant and accessible natural materials like plant waste and stone. They are also easy to process and can be used for various applications, such as food packaging, utensils, textiles, medical devices, etc. Plant fibre plastics can also reduce the dependence on petroleum and help conserve non-renewable resources.

Plant fibre plastics are a promising alternative to conventional plastics that can offer environmental and economic benefits. And the products we offer will promote your brand as well as reducing the burden on the planet!
