Plastic is an essential part of modern life. It helps increase shelf life, enables transportation over long distances, and improves accessibility to food and beverage products all over the world. Traditionally, however, plastic and greenhouse gas emissions go hand in hand. But have you ever wondered if plastic could, instead of emitting carbon, capture it? Well, we have. That’s why we have developed plastic made from plants to offer an alternative that reduces carbon emissions, is fully measurable and traceable, providing transparency at every step and, is 100% recyclable.
Now that you are here, please let us explain what we do. You can start from the top or click on one of the topics below to go directly to that.
The first question many ask, is why bio-based plastic? Some may even ask, what is bio-based plastic? Bio-based plastic is like traditional plastic but made from plants. It provides a range of benefits from carbon reduction to complete transparency throughout the entire value chain from feedstock to end-users.
Read more about each of them below.
Bio-based plastic is made from plants. During their growth cycle, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere leaving a totally reduced footprint compared to traditional plastic. This makes it a real solution today that you can implement to take the first steps towards reduced carbon footprint in your production.
Read moreBio-based plastic is segregated and fully traceable. So whenever – and to whatever extent – you use bio-based plastic in your production, you can always claim exactly how much of a plastic product or packaging comes from plants. This brings complete transparency to your choice whenever you opt for bio-based plastic.
Read moreBio-based plastic is not just traceable, it is also verifiable, making in possible to claim exactly how much of a plastic product or packaging comes from plants. This brings complete transparency to your choice whenever you opt for bio-based plastic.
Read moreNow the question is, of course, why should I choose I'm green™ bio-based?

Read moreWe are a leading bio-based plastic provider. We collaborate with our clients on some of the most complex challenges, and we apply our expertise across industries and markets to advance bio-based plastic for all types of companies and plastic products.
Read moreWe are present around the world, and we have a scale that no one else can match. We not only have the largest availability of responsibly sourced feedstock but we also have the largest capacity when it comes to transforming it into bio-based polymers that our clients can use in their own production setup.
Read moreI'm green bio-based plastic can be used for exactly the same things as traditional plastic, and it is 100% recyclable within all existing waste streams. This means that you can easily return and recycle your bio-based plastic alternative.
Read moreMany think getting started with bio-based plastic is hard. Questions about production compatibility, procedures and onboarding come up often. But there's no big change. You just use plant-based polymers instead in your existing setup.
You can use our bio-based polymers with your existing production setup. No changes are needed. Plus, you can always trace how much bio-based polymer is in your final product.
Read moreYou decide how much to add initially. Start with 10% or go all the way to 100%. We believe adding some percentage is better than none. It's all about starting the journey.
Read moreWith mass-balance solutions, it can be hard to say exactly how much is plant-based in a product. But with I'm green bio-based, we provide full transparency. You can state exactly how much of the plastic product is plant-based.
Read moreOur solutions are versatile. They work for durable and non-durables, small companies and big ones. They're for everyone wanting to take their first steps towards more sustainable plastic products.
