Reducing Waste and Carbon Footprint

The company emphasizes the key benefits of this new packaging, including:

  • Decreased waste and carbon emissions
  • Improved resource efficiency

The PIR content in Luminy PLA repurposes high-quality manufacturing scraps that would typically end up in landfills or be incinerated.

Sustainability doesn’t stop with what’s inside the bag, it extends to how we deliver it. By incorporating recycled content into our packaging, we’re reducing waste, saving resources, and lowering our overall carbon footprint.

Monda van Eijl, senior product manager at TotalEnergies Corbion.

This innovative packaging is designed to lower emissions throughout the production supply chain by minimizing the reliance on virgin raw materials.

Recently, TotalEnergies Corbion has begun distributing its bioplastic products in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
