Sugar Cane Based Polythene
Based on its price effectiveness, carbohydrates were quickly found to be a competitive feedstock for the chemical industry. When consideration is given for their carbon content, carbohydrates have always compared favourably to petrochemicals.
The rise in demand for bio-based products led Brazilian sugar cane to be viewed as a very competitive feedstock for a broad range of bio-based products. With improved technology, polythene produced from sugar cane is now carbon neutral and has the potential to revolutionise the industry.
Key Benefits of Sugar Cane Based Polythene
Cost Effective
Sugar cane is a very cost-effective raw material
Carbon Neutral
It has a reduced environmental impact compared to traditional plastics.
Renewable Resource
Sugar cane is an abundant, renewable resource.
Polyair
Rather than being oxy-degradable, our new Polyair material is bio-based. Polyair is made from sugar cane, and it’s the process of photosynthesis as the plant grows that makes this product carbon neutral.
Our exclusive Polyair material can be chosen as an alternative to regular polythene, offering your company the opportunity to improve your green credentials, meet legislative requirements and deliver improved environmental solutions.
Polyair can be used across our full product range of bags, covers, tubes, films, wraps and stretch film, giving you a significantly greener, environmentally friendly option. Consumer converting to bio-based plastic products can recognise significant savings in addition to improving their carbon footprint.
Contact our helpful sales personnel to find out how you can benefit from switching to Polyair, based on your current product specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use sugar cane based polythene?
Sugar cane polythene is important for plastics manufacturers who strive to overcome environmental concerns and to remain profitable. Despite the world’s reliance upon plastics, plastic manufacturers are under constant pressure to reduce the carbon footprint of its manufacturing sites and products. Sugar cane is the newest and most environmentally favourable feedstock and will surely lead to new processes and technologies for the plastics industry.
Is sugarcane-based polythene a good alternative to fight climate change?
Yes. Sugarcane polythene is carbon neutral and renewable, making it an excellent alternative to traditional plastics to reduce emissions and fossil fuel usage. Its production process captures CO2, helping mitigate climate change. Replacing traditional plastics with sugarcane polythene could significantly lower plastic's carbon footprint.
Why sugar cane is so good?
Among all the established carbohydrate sources, sugar cane is currently the top rate performer for three reasons:
- Sugar cane has an extremely efficient biochemical photosynthesis.
- Sugar cane is available all year round.
- Sucrose, sugar cane’s soluble carbohydrate, is essentially ready to use, greatly reducing manufacturing costs.
