PlasticFri

Conventional plastics are made from petroleum. They cause pollution and stay in the environment for up to 1000 years! Basically, all of the plastic that has ever been made still exists today in some form. Humans produce around 335 million tons of plastic each year. That is roughly the same weight as all of humanity combined! Plastic cause many environmental problems including: - Every year, 2 billion tonnes of CO2 emission are caused just because of plastic production. - 100,000 marine-animals and 1 million sea birds are killed by plastic pollution annually. - 80% of ocean plastic pollution enters the ocean from land. - By 2050, the oceans could have more plastic than fish. We are on a mission to change that by transforming renewable resources to eco-friendly products for replacing plastics. ***INNOVATIVE SOLUTION*** We are an award-winning team of researchers who have invented PlasticFri: a proprietary technology to make a biomaterial that looks and works like conventional (petroleum-based) plastics, but it is 100% biodegradable, compostable, totally non-toxic and free from any conventional plastic materials. Because we use raw materials derived from abundant, cheap and renewable plant resources, mainly coming from agricultural waste and nonedible plants. This means it contains no substances or materials that are harmful to animals or nature. Our patent-pending innovation is all about minimizing the environmental impact of conventional petroleum-based plastics by making an environmentally-friendly alternative.

The alternative solutions either pollute the environment, have poor functionality and/or are expensive. PlasticFri is the result of several years of research and development. With our technology, we have succeeded to maximize the bio-based content, improve functionality and reduce the costs. ***UNUIQUENESS & VALUE PROPOSITIONS*** PlasticFri is superior to existing solutions, because it has the lowest environmental impact while providing a great performance at a competitive price. Moreover, none of the competitors are using waste as the source. Compared to mainstream alternative, our technology enables: - 86% lower CO2 emissions - 65% lower energy for production - Saving more than 26,000 litres of water per ton - Saving more than 1400 litres of oil per ton - Saving more than 4,200 kWh of electricity per ton of material produced - Saving 3.52 cubic meters of landfill space per ton ***HOW IS OUR OFFERING BETTER THAN ANY OTHER SOLUTION?*** PlasticFri offers: + Competitive Price + Functionality + Eco-friendliness + Scalability + Innovativeness

We have a B2B business model by offering PlasticFri products to every company & organization looking to reduce their environmental footprint, move towards circular economy, reach their corporate social responsibility (CSR) targets, enhance their brand image by showing their customers that they care! *** REVENUE STREAMS *** Our main revenue streams come from direct sales, wholesale to distributors as well as cobranding and customization services. Since our launch a few months ago, we have now paying customers which validates our revenue model. PlasticFri directly fits to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 as well as indirectly to SDGs 3 and 6.
