Bioplastic Solutions

Sustainable packaging without compromise

Spectra’s sugarcane-based biopolymer HDPE and PET materials are produced using ethanol from sugarcane as opposed to conventional HDPE and PET which traditionally contain fossil-based raw materials such as oil or natural gas.

The renewable sugarcane captures CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike regular biopolymers, which can’t be recycled without damaging the recycling chain, Spectra’s biopolymers are recyclable. These bio-based materials provide a genuine direct replacement for standard HDPE and PET – perfect for a truly sustainable packaging solution.

Those customers concerned about compromising the end result can rest assured that biopolymers maintain the same chemical properties as conventional oil-based HDPE and PET. This means there is no difference in performance or appearance to the end result, meaning you can make a difference without seeing a difference.
