Bamboo-based, Biobased Compounds

Bamboo-based, Biomass-based, Biobased compounds iGreen is a 40 w.-% Bamboo reinforced, durable Poylpropylene (PP) compound. They can be used alaone or masterbatch material can be blended with virgin PP during part manufacturing. Using Biobased Resin iGreen helps reduce both fossil fuel-based plastic content and greenhouse gas generation.

Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. Like trees, bamboo is renewable but grows much faster than hardwood. One species can grow up to 35 inches in one day! It can reach maturity and be harvested in 3–5 years.

Bamboo requires less water compared to many other crops and can thrive without the need for pesticides, fertilizers, or replanting making its cultivation more environmentally friendly. What’s more, bamboo forests absorb more carbon dioxide and release more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees, making them excellent for improving air quality and combating climate change.

Biobased: The term ‘biobased’ means that the material or product is (partly) derived from biomass (plants, agricultural by-products, agricultural waste, etc.).
