Why change to Sulapac?

There’s a dozen of good reasons why companies around the world are manufacturing with Sulapac. These are some of the most common drivers:

✔ The Bio-based1 yet fully functional Sulapac® allows you to transition from oil-based raw materials to renewable content without compromising user experience.

✔ With its unique look and feel – even sound, Sulapac helps to wow your customers and stand out from the competition.

✔ Sulapac is a way to reduce your carbon footprint2

✔ With Sulapac you fight plastic pollution: Sulapac leaves no permanent microplastics or toxic load behind.3

✔ Sulapac taps you into the circular economy: it is bio-based, recyclable4 and industrially compostable5. On top of that, it’s made with recycled content.

1) From 72% up to 100% USDA certified biobased content, depending on the material grade.

2) 0,09 kg CO2eq/kg for Sulapac Universal (Critically reviewed cradle-to-gate LCA,including biogenic carbon, performed by an independent third-party consultancy.)

3) Biodegradation, ecotoxicity and threshold values for heavy metals tested according to EN13432. Biodegradation of 58-74 % in 462 days in the marine environment ASTM D6691(86oF/30oC). Not considered biodegradable in California.

4) Can be recycled through hydrolysis back to monomers, suitable as feedstock for recycled biopolymers. Chemical recyclability of Sulapac (excluding Barrier and Heat recipes) has been tested and proven technically feasible by a third-party industrial company. Field tests have also verified that Sulapac materials can be collected and sorted out of a mixed waste stream. When collected together, Sulapac materials do not interfere with the current mechanical recycling of conventional fossil-based or bio-based non-biodegradable plastics. The technology for chemical recycling of bio-based and biodegradable materials exists, but the infrastructure is still under development.

5) The compostability has been tested according to EN 13432 and ASTM D6400. BPI and Seedling certification status depending on the material grade.

Sulapac’s design principle is to mimic nature. Their materials don’t release permanent microplastics and their carbon footprint is lower compared to traditional plastics made of virgin, oil-based raw materials. Importantly, the beautiful visible wooden chips and the ceramic feel make products made of Sulapac stand out. Its aesthetics is a competitive differentiator.
