1️⃣ Sugarcane-Based PE
Sugarcane-based polyethylene is one of the most promising biodegradable alternatives to traditional plastics. Made from renewable resources, this material is carbon-neutral and can be fully biodegradable in industrial composting environments. With its similar properties to standard PE, it offers high durability while supporting sustainability goals. SampoX's sugarcane-based tubes are ideal for products like lotions, haircare, and even cosmetic products like sunscreen.
2️⃣ Wheat Straw
Wheat straw is a by-product of wheat harvesting, and it’s being increasingly used in cosmetic packaging as a biodegradable material. Adding up to 30% wheat straw fiber to packaging materials helps reduce plastic use while maintaining strength and durability. This eco-friendly alternative offers a natural look and feel, and it’s an excellent option for brands promoting organic or nature-inspired products.
3️⃣ PLA (Polylactic Acid)
PLA is a bio-based plastic made from fermented plant starch, usually derived from corn or sugarcane. This material is compostable and biodegradable, making it an excellent choice for cosmetic brands that wish to reduce plastic waste. PLA can be used for tubes, containers, and various cosmetic packaging applications. It’s a popular choice for lightweight products and packaging with an emphasis on sustainability.
4️⃣ PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates)
PHA is a biodegradable plastic produced through bacterial fermentation of plant sugars. Unlike PLA, PHA breaks down naturally in marine environments as well, making it an exciting material for eco-conscious brands. SampoX is exploring PHA as an option for high-performance, biodegradable tubes and packaging that is both durable and environmentally friendly.
5️⃣ Vivomer
Vivomer is a relatively new, microbial biodegradable plastic that offers high performance without the environmental impact of traditional plastics. This innovative material is fully compostable, non-toxic, and can be produced with minimal energy input. Vivomer’s applications in cosmetic packaging can help reduce landfill waste while maintaining the high aesthetic and functional quality demanded by consumers.
With the rising demand for sustainable beauty solutions, SampoX continues to innovate by offering biodegradable materials like sugarcane-based PE, wheat straw, PLA, PHA, and Vivomer. These materials offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics, helping brands take a responsible step toward a cleaner planet.
