Green PE or PET made from sugarcane<\/h3>\n

Sugarcane is one of the substances used to make biomaterials You take the ethanol from the sugarcane plant and then put it through a dehydration process to transform it into green ethylene. Afterwards the green ethylene goes to the polymerization plants, where it is converted into green polyethylene\/PET.<\/p>\n

Biopack by Gerresheimer is made of sugarcane and it\u2019s a renewable alternative to conventional PE and PET.<\/p>\n

Gerresheimer\u2018s Biopack can be used as a packaging for both liquid and solid pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. It has exactly the same characteristics as Gerresheimer\u2019s classic PE and PET products, which makes it suitable as a material for the entire Gerresheimer portfolio of plastic containers. There is no need to change existing filling and packaging lines and does not require new invewstments.<\/p>\n
