\"Bild\"\/Cardia Bioplastics and emerging organic skincare company, ECOCARE\u2122, have partnered to produce a world first in the skin care industry \u2013 eco-friendly facial wipes enclosed in eco-friendly packaging. The biodegradable facial wipes are made from 100% natural certified organic cotton. The packaging incorporates Cardia\u2019s renewable and recyclable Biohybrid\u2122 resin which is derived from renewable resources. The resulting \u2018green\u2019 combination has a significantly lower carbon footprint than its competitors.<\/b> <\/p>\n

“There is a growing trend for companies to look at ways to reduce the impact of their operations on the environment,\u201d said Dr Frank Glatz, Managing Director of Cardia Bioplastics. <\/p>\n

“Product packaging is a good place to start. <\/p>\n

“Our thermoplastic starch resins have a high renewable content \u2013 when they are incorporated into standard packaging or plastic products, the carbon footprint is reduced by up to 50 per cent,\u201d said Dr Glatz. <\/p>\n

“ECOCARE\u2122 has built its business on environment-friendly products and we are proud to partner with them to develop packaging solutions that align with this philosophy.<\/p>\n

“We hope that others in the consumer healthcare and beauty industry will follow the company\u2019s lead and seek out sustainable packaging solutions,\u201d said Dr Glatz.<\/p>\n

Cardia\u2019s Biohybrid\u2122 resins combine renewable thermoplastics with oil-based polymer material to reduce dependence on finite oil resources and to reduce carbon footprint. The renewable material is derived from non-genetically modified corn crop grown for industrial use. Furthermore, they are compatible with current plastic recycling processes, are food safe compliant and have official Halal Certification.<\/p>\n

Callan Taylor, Marketing Director of ECOCARE\u2122, said: “Environmental sustainability is engrained in the ECOCARE\u2122 business model, and our range of skin care wipes have been built around this philosophy.<\/p>\n

“We are looking forward to working with Cardia to access environmentally-friendly and renewable packaging that complements our products and our principles,\u201d Mr Taylor said.<\/p>\n

“Globally, we will be the first manufacturer of organic wet wipes to use renewable packaging solutions. It is a huge coup for us and offers strong product differentiation.\u201d <\/p>\n

The wipes can be purchased for $7.99 in various retail outlets across Australia and we will look to sell the product overseas in the coming months. They are also available online at www.ecocarenatural.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
