Why is bioplastic a more sustainable choice?

Using sugarcane derivatives instead of petroleum can solve many of the top challenges confronting our society and environment. This remarkable plant has the potential to lower carbon dioxide emissions, create jobs, diversify our energy sources, and help create a healthier, cleaner planet. Compared to gasoline, sugarcane ethanol produces 90% less carbon dioxide on average when breaking down. In fact, sugarcane ethanol has reduced Brazil’s emissions of carbon dioxide by more than 350 million tons since 2003. That’s as good for the environment as planting and maintaining 2.5 billion trees for 20 years!
