Biodegradabile plastic from renewable sources

This particular plastic is a modern material part of the bioplastic family composed by plant substances, such as cornstarch, and biodegradable polymers obtained from renewable raw materials. The added value of this material is to be completely biodegradable and compostable according to EN 13432 legislation. Thanks to its characteristics, today we can create solutions and objects with a reduced environmental impact on everyday life.
The bioplastic used in the production of Cicara® is a raw material that does not go in conflict with the production of corn intended for food for human / animal consumption.

RECYCLED PLASTIC

RECYCLED R-PET PLASTIC
Every year millions of plastic bottles for beverages are produced. The materiai with which they are made is called PET. lt is lightweight, durable and 100% recyclable. After the garbage is divided, washed and ground to flakes and granules, which are called R-PET, many items can be produced such as covers for notebooks, rulers, school and office accessories, calendars, packaging, advertising signs and conference lanyards.
Alisea’s R-PET sheet has been awarded the ReMade in ltaly certiflcation, the flrst trademark for products and materials that are recycled and reused in ltaly; a trademark createci to promote ltalian sustainable industries.
“We started to use the sheets when, in 2010, a customer asked us to create a personalized notebook with a cover made from recycled bottles.
We discovered that, at the time, there was no one in ltaly that produced R-PET sheets. By using our own factory and working with recyclers and granule producers, we were able to produce a clear rigid sheet of a suitable thickness. With the satisfaction of having not only createci a beautiful product, but also contributed, in our own small way, to promoting the use of a materiai that is now used in the packaging of the retail and the vending industries:·

The event, sponsored by the local municipalities and organized in partnership with the municipal waste management companies in Milan, Rome and Naples, involved over 100 schools and 50,000 pupils. The project involved the distribution of kits to the teachers of classes III, IV and V (3rd, 4th and 5th grade) with useful lessons to illustrate plastic recycling to the children.
All the children were given a ruler made by Alisea from recycled PET, in partnership with ToDo, an agency in Milan specialized in local and unconventional marketing (1\2 a plastic water bottle reused for each ruler).
