PLASTICANA HEMP BOOTS - KAPITANA - T35/40

FROM PHOTOSYNTHESIS : Plasticana is committed to reducing the use of petroleum in plastics by using renewable carbon derived from photosynthesis: HEMP. 
This plant was chosen because:

• it grows at all latitudes.
• it fixes as much, if not more, carbon in 4 months of growth than a forest in our temperate countries does in 12 months!!
• the resistance of its textile part reinforces the plastic into which it is mixed,
• the sugars it contains naturally color the material a caramel tone, which avoids the use of chemical pigments. 
• Each piece has a unique color

TO THE SYNTHETIC MATERIAL : Plasticana only accepts the use of recyclable (or recycled) plastics in the blend with hemp reduced into fibers. Among these, the vinyl families are preferred as they have a lower dependence on petroleum (57% comes from salt, and the remaining 43% of ethylene could be made from sugar plants like sugar beets in the future).

Their various formulations comply with the European Reach program.
Their production sites are managed under the Iso 14 001 environmental standard and are located in France, as are the hemp fields used for the industry…

TO THE SYNTHETIC RE-SOURCE : Plasticana products can go through existing processes for their recycling.
Once they have become granules again, they can be given a new life cycle in a new form,

They all have the same destiny: to be able to become a material for future generations once again!
