Difference between Plastic Vs Bioplastic
| Description | Plastic | Bioplastic |
|---|---|---|
| Energy consumption in production | High | 48% lower than petroleum based plastic production |
| Raw Material | Petroleum a non-renewable resource | Biomass obtained from starch of corn, sugarcane, potato & other renewable crops |
| Carbon Footprint | High as petroleum is involved | 62% less emission of Co2 which is significantly less than traditional plastic |
| Presence of chemicals | Presence of Bisphenol A (BPA) which is a potential hormone disrupting chemical | No Presence of any toxic chemical |
| Phsical Properties | Highly stable and thermo-plastic | Equally stable with high thermo-plasticity as traditional plastics |
| Biodegradability | Could take more than 500 years to decompose completely., needs to be recycled | Decomposes inside 180 days if decomposed in the right environment, releases methane on decomposition which can be harnessed to produce energy |

New way forward  |
Plastic takes thousands of years to decompose and most of the regular disposable plastic is nothing but a by-product of fossil fuels. This makes it a double weapon for the environment since plastic is produced from a non-renewable energy source!
One Major problem with plastic is that it often takes an extremely long time for it to break down once discarded, leading to a massive problem with landfilling waste and posing a danger to wildlife. Compostable polymers use alternate materials made from natural renewable resources so it breaks down the material quickly and is converted as fertilizer.
Yes, Our BIO Elite bottles are Certified IS/ISO 17088 by the Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology (CIPET) and we have got a license from the Central Pollution Control Board of India (CPCB) to manufacture and sell our product.
Yes, Our BIO Elite bottles are Certified IS 9845:1998(R 2020) Overall Migration and IS 15410 Transparency Test in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) approved Lab.
Compostable products are made of natural plant starch and do not produce any toxic material. Compostable products break down readily in a composting system through microbial activity to form compost.
Biodegradable is Based on the material used in making plant-based, animal-based or natural mineral-based products is usually biodegradable. Biodegradables are anything that undergoes degradation resulting from the action of naturally occurring microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae
Yes, Water got tested in Our BIO ELITE Bottles as per IS 14543:2004 and IS10500:2012 in the Approved lab.
As per our test,it can be stored for 90 days (3 months)
ISO 17088 also includes tests on Ecotoxicity and heavy metal contents to ensure that no harmful substances are left behind.
In industrial facilities it will take around 6 months, in a good managed home compost heap around 12 - 24 months.
No, our chemical free bottles are made 100% from plants, therefore no harmful toxins leach into the water.
Yes the bottles are great to personally refill with still liquids. They are robust and are free from artificial chemicals, also great to hold.
BioElite a product of AE Technologies have come up with a solution that will not only produce
100% decomposable plastic but also source it from renewable materials too!
