The Problem

Biongen™ – Compostable packaging solutions. One of the major problems with petroleum-based plastics, is that they are derived from oil or natural gas which are only available in finite amounts throughout the world. Eventually, these fossil resources will run out.

Every year 13 million tonnes of plastic leak into the ocean harming our: biodiversity, economies and health. At this rate by 2050: 12 billion tonnes of plastic litter will end up in landfills and the environment. Disposable plastic items represent 50% of marine litter. 95% of disposable plastic packaging is wasted.

The plastic industry will account for 20% of world´s oil consumption. Recycling plastic takes 88% lees energy than making new plastics. We can save 1,000 – 2,000 gallons of gasoline by recycling one ton of plastics. Plastic packaging accounts for 50% of plastic waste.

United States, European Union and Japan are the world´s largest plastic packaging producers. Asia is the world´s largest plastic packaging consumer. Only 9% of the 9 billion tonnes of plastic produced is recycled. At this rate by 2050, 12 billion tonnes of plastic litter will end up in landfills and the environment. The plastic industry will account by 20% of world´s oil consumption.
