Biodegradable Materials

RPC Tedeco-Gizeh is working very hard to offer our customer the choice for biodegradable products, both in Hot and Cold Drinks.

In the future new developments will be added on this website.

Multiple environmental benefits of Polystyrene (PS) :

A life-cycle analysis (LCA) of a product is the best method to evaluate its environmental impact, from the production of the raw materials that serve to create it right up through its scrapping or recycling.

Applied to packaging materials, LCA reveils the superiority of Polystyrene compared to other materials like glass or cardboard.

LCA Information

• Made from a by="product" of petroleum refining
• HIgh recyclability (up to 20x)
• Energy recovery using recycled products as fuel for electricity plants
• Lower CO2 emmisions (GUA study)
• Lower energy consumption (GUA study)

Not better, not worse. Simply different from bio-based plastics.
