DISCOVER ALTERNATIVES TO PLASTIC

Learn more about the difference between the many different sustainable materials so that we can jointly reduce the amount of waste and get better at recycling and re-creating. BANGKOK PREMIUMS is your partner in the sustainable, eco-friendly journey.

Wheat Straw

Wheat-straw is mainly an agricultural waste product that remains after grain or juice is extracted from the crops. Wheat straw is recently being used as filler for thermoplastic composites as polypropylene or ABS. It is a valuable environmentally friendly resource that, while upgrading the outlook of many reusable products, helps to reduce the amount of plastics used while reusing natural sources.

Corn PLA

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a natural plastic substitute made from fermented plant starch (usually corn). It is an eco-friendly, renewably-sourced and biodegradable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. The increased usage of PLA will reduce the carbon footprint of many industries. This non-toxic green material can be used for all kinds of products as grocery shopping bags to save or reusable tumblers.

PLA IS IS AN ECO-FRIENDLY, RENEWABLY-SOURCED AND BIODEGRADABLE ALTERNATIVE

Organic Cotton

Organic cotton is equal to cotton with the difference that it is naturally grown without use of any pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers or any other chemical. In order to know for sure that the cotton is indeed organic, manufacturers go through extensive supply chain verification by third-parties and only certified cotton can be marketed (example by GOTS). Number of organic cotton farms is increasing faster however it still counts for a very small part of overall cotton production worldwide.

ORGANIC COTTON IS NATURALLY GROWN WITHOUT USE OF ANY PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, FERTILIZERS

Coffee Husk

After petroleum, coffee is the second most commercialized product in the world. Coffee husks (or chaff) is the dried skin of the bean. During the roasting process, the husk falls off and is mostly thrown away. Coffee husk is recently being used as reinforcing filler for thermoplastic composites as polypropylene or ABS. It is a valuable environmentally friendly resource that helps to reduce the amount of plastics used.

COFFEE HUSK IS THE DRIED SKIN WASTE OF THE BEAN

Bamboo

Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants (grass) and it can replenish itself within a year with a minimum water need and without need of fertilisers to boost its growth.
Since bamboo is naturally pest-resistant there is no usage of pesticides. Bamboo is a very renewable resource, strong and durable. It absorbs more Co2 from the air and releases more oxygen which improves the air quality. Bamboo is 100% natural and biodegradable.

BAMBOO IS 100% NATURAL AND BIODEGRADABLE.

Cork

Cork is the bark of the self-regenerating cork oak tree. It is ranked among the most durable organic materials with the property of stabilizing the air temperature and humidity. It is a very flexible material and can be treated in a simple natural way. It as good adhesive properties, making it easy to use in combination with different materials.
In general the cork industry is regarded as one of the most environmentally friendly. Cork is 100% natural and biodegradable.

CORK IS 100% NATURAL AND BIODEGRADABLE. IT IS RANKED AMONG THE MOST DURABLE ORGANIC MATERIALS.

Recycled Pet/ RPET

PET is the most common type of plastic, mostly used for packaging and beverages disposable bottles/containers. A large part of the solid waste in the world is attributed to this packaging. Recycled PET is known as RPET, and it is the most widely recycled plastic in the world. The use of recycled PET by giving a new life to an already made product in place of virgin resin results in reduced environmental impact.

RECYCLED PET IS KNOWN AS RPET, AND IT IS THE MOST WIDELY RECYCLED PLASTIC IN THE WORLD.

Recycled Fabrics

Recycled fabrics are made from waste fabrics (any textiles). Collected textile solid wastes are reprocessed to fibre and then back to fabrics for further re-production of bags, garments or linen. Most of the manufacturers work with two streams :
pre-consumer waste (scrap from production) and post-consumer waste (used textiles collected). The color segregation occurs during the process to avoid as much as possible the re-dyeing of the fabric.
