Using sugar cane-based I&#8217;m green\u2122 Polyethylene allows Mediane to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of its packaging, the use of fossil resources without compromising on quality and recyclability. For every kg of I\u2019m green\u2122 Polyethylene used in Mediane\u2019s plastic sleeves, more than 4.5 kg of CO<sub>2<\/sub> is saved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is great to see that by combining Braskem\u2019s I\u2019m green\u2122 Polyethylene and the latest polyethylene conversion technology, Mediane is able to produce a sustainable, high quality and competitive sleeve solution for the fresh produce market,\u201d says Marco Jansen, Commercial Director Renewable Chemicals Europe &amp; North America. \u201cWe are confident Mediane will raise great interest from both European and non-European retailers and herb producers with this innovative solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very much aware of the fact that we live in a throw-away culture, and that environmental issues have clearly become more of a concern with both producers and consumers. Therefore, the trend for green living and environmentally sustainable solutions to everyday problems has become important,\u201d says Robert van der Laan, Director of Mediane Flexible Packaging Solutions. \u201cMediane takes these developments as well as its own responsibility seriously and wishes to contribute to the use of bio-based packaging sleeves and bags. We believe that our future depends on what we do in the present.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conical sleeves for packing fresh produce, made out of Braskem\u2019s Green Polyethylene, gwill be introduced by Mediane on the forthcoming Fruit Logistica\u201917 Show, which will take place on 8, 9, 10 February in Berlin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netherlands-based Mediane, the market leader in CPP, LDPE and bio-compostable (PLA) packaging sleeves for the horti and agri market made from clear, transparent films and printed in High-Definition Flexo, is steadily greening up its act.
