Buhbli Organics co-founder Michelle Gojkovich said: “By choosing to incorporate bio-based polyethylene in the pouches for our Himalayan Bath Salts, we were able to make a more eco-friendly choice because this resin has an environmentally beneficial lifecycle assessment.
“Using green polyethylene in our packaging has a meaningful impact as it contributes to lowering Buhbli’s carbon footprint, which in turn contributes to the well-being of others and the planet.”
Braskem develops the green plastic from sugarcane produced in Brazil and a drop-in biopolymer substitute to conventional polyethylene.
