Bio-attributed Shrink Sleeve

What is biomass plastics?

Biomass is a term that expresses the amount of substance (Mass) of biological resources (Bio), and biomass plastic refers to plastics made from inedible parts of food such as corn and sugar cane.
Since it uses renewable resources, it is environment-friendly material compared to petroleum which is depleting resources.

The reason why it is environment-friendly

Biomass plastic emits carbon dioxide (CO²) when it is burned, but plants absorb CO² during the growth process and photosynthesize it.
Since new plants absorb the CO² emitted during combustion and recycle it as a resource, it can be effectively used as a resource to be reproduced and circulated as a so-called "carbon neutral" concept.

Why do Gunze develop bio-attributed shrink film?

Gunze has a large market share of shrink film sleeves in Japan.
We will lead the reduction of petrochemical raw material use and aim to reduce environmental burden.
