Sustainable Polymers
RAI is focusing more than ever in distributing polymers that are derived from renewable, recycled and waste carbon resources and their combinations, which at the end of life can be recycled, biodegraded or composted. Compared to traditional polymers, sustainable polymers are made from renewable materials such as plants; require less water and non-renewable energy to produce; emit fewer greenhouse gases during the production process; produce less waste during production are recyclable/reusable at the end of life.
P-Life is a proprietary additive technology that makes polyolefin polymers, considered as non-biodegradable polymers, into Oxo-Biodegradable polymers. P-Life comes in masterbatch pellet form and is customizable with the exact concentration of additive necessary to accommodate your product’s intended shelf life.
Benefits
Oxo-biodegradable additives are the only available solution in the marketplace that allow manufacturers to seamlessly and affordably reimagine all of their plastic products in eco friendly versions without compromising performance or durability. P-Life is the only fully certified, turnkey solution that allows manufacturers to integrate biodegradable technology without changing their manufacturing infrastructure, redesigning their products, or drastically affecting their bottom line.

I’m green is the world’s first bio-based plastic produced on an industrial scale, a polyethylene made from sugarcane. Born in 2010 at Braskem’s Innovation & Technology Center, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, I’m green has a major advantage: it is made from renewable resources, which is why its production process captures carbon dioxide.
Benefits
It truly can say that it helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Applications
| Agribusiness | Irrigation piping, containers, and packaging for various agrochemicals |
| Food | Packaging made from sugarcane protects bread, fruits, coffee, sugar, and frozen ready-to-cook meals. |
| Sports | Artificial turf, yoga and gym mats, footwear and sports sneakers |
| Furniture | Chairs, benches, tables, and more |
PLA or polylactic acid is a bioplastic used to make shopping bags, transparent cups, 3-D printing material and other products. It can be derived from plant materials such as corn sugar, potato or sugar cane. Because of the material sources of PLA, it reduces the demand for fossil fuels used to make conventional plastics. PLA is a transparent and rigid polyester at room temperature, setting it apart from other compostable and biosourced resins currently on the market. It has a transparent and shiny appearance similar to glass, is easy to print on, is resistant to fats and many organic compounds and solvents, and has intermediate barrier properties like polystyrene. PLA can therefore replace fossil-based products in many applications.
