Green Polyethylene: The Plant-Based Plastic That’s Replacing Oil
Green PE is produced using ethanol derived from renewable sources—primarily sugarcane in Brazil, but also wheat grain and beet in Europe. It behaves the same as traditional polyethylene: it’s durable, moldable, and recyclable. The difference lies in its feedstock and carbon footprint. While not biodegradable, Green PE is a key player in the circular economy: it sequesters carbon during crop growth and reduces life-cycle emissions when used and recycled responsibly.
