Together we can make a difference
Fact: In each year an estimated amount of 36,700 tons of plastic bags alone end up in Australian landfills, not including those that become part of the litter stream. It’s known that they may take as long as 1000 years to break down.
becausewecare™ has a simple, convenient and environmentally sound answer in the form of a range of plastic like materials – Bioplastics – made from organic plant materials. The basic component is corn starch and you can’t tell the difference between our Bioplastic products and those made from petrochemicals. Better still, in a compost environment they break down within 45 days – about the same time as a dry leaf.
A truly biodegradable material is compostable. It decays back into its components when left in a waste heap. Microbes will eat it, breaking it down. It must disintegrate in soil or water, back into its component parts or digested by microbes in a reduction process. Bioplastics are reduced by microbial activity into compost. Being starch, they break down in the same way as their parent plants, into soil enhancing mulch and humus.
We are dedicated to keep the price of caring for the environment as low as possible. We keep our costs to a minimum so you can help your customers make a difference.
