Conventional Plastics vs. Bioplastics

Conventional Plastics vs. Bioplastics: Time for a Greener Choice

Did you know that every piece of conventional plastic ever created still exists somewhere on our 

planet? Conventional plastics like polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP),

and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are made from fossil fuels such as natural gas and oil. These synthetic

materials take centuries to decompose and becomes the major contribution to pollution. From

clogging landfills to contaminating oceans and harming wildlife, conventional plastics are leaving a

devastating environmental legacy.

But there’s hope—the future of packaging is here, and it’s greener than ever!

Meet Bioplastics—The Eco-Friendly Alternative

Made from renewable resources like cornstarch, sugarcane, and vegetable oils, bioplastics offer a

sustainable solution that reduces our reliance on fossil fuels. Unlike conventional plastics, certain

bioplastics, such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), are designed to

biodegrade under the right conditions. This means they break down into natural materials without

leaving harmful microplastics behind.

Why Make the Switch?

Switching to bioplastics isn’t just a choice—it’s a commitment to protecting our planet. Here’s

why it matters:

• Reduce Waste: Compostable bioplastics naturally return to the earth, minimizing landfill and

ocean pollution.

• Sustainable Future: Bio-based materials lower carbon emissions and help combat climate change.

• Safer Ecosystems: No harmful microplastics mean healthier environments for wildlife and humans

alike.

At Maribumi Starchtech, we are proud to offer compostable, eco-friendly products that make a real

difference. Every switch you make is a step toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
