Santa Rosa, California, August 21, 2023 – It is widely recognized that humanity must rapidly reduce its ecological footprint. Scientific findings demonstrate that our climate is changing faster than predicted. Alternative plant-based plastics have been a top engineering topic at SCHURTER, where the most inventive engineers have been extensively engaged in innovative plastic alternative materials.
The bio-based polymers used in the new Green Line products are designed from renewable materials to significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to fossil-based plastics. The plant-based raw materials have a CO2-neutral footprint over the entire life cycle. Accordingly, bio-based plastics contribute to CO₂ reduction of up to 68% compared to fossil plastics. Furthermore, bio-based plastics often have a lower density than fossil plastics, resulting in lower material consumption.
