Plasticana reduces the use of petroleum by using renewable carbon derived from photosynthesis: HEMP,
A blend of PVC and natural fibers, Plasticana is 100% recyclable, infinitely and beyond,
No dyes are used; this is the natural color of the fiber, so every pair is different and unique.
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 in all latitudes.
- it captures as much or more carbon in 4 months of growth than a forest in our temperate countries does in 12 months!!
- the strength of its textile part reinforces the plastic with which it is blended,
- the sugars it contains naturally color the material in a caramel tone, which avoids the use of chemical pigments.
- Each piece has a unique color
TO SYNTHETIC MATERIAL: Plasticana only accepts the use of recyclable (or recycled) plastics in the blend with fiber-reduced hemp. Among these, 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 14001 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,
All have the same destiny: to be able to become a material for future generations once again!
