PLASTICANA HEMP MULES CLOGS - OPANA - T36/41

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 as a forest in our temperate countries does in 12 months!!
• the strength of its textile fibers reinforces the plastic into which it is mixed,
• 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 mixture with hemp reduced to fibers. Among these, the vinyl families are preferred, as they are less dependent 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, like the hemp fields used for the industry...

TO SYNTHETIC RE-SOURCE : Plasticana products can go through existing processes for their recycling.
Once turned back into granules, 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!
