What they do
Greenhope is an award winning green technology company which aims to solve the earth’s plastics waste issue by helping existing plastics biodegrade through the introduction of a naturally made additive and producing biodegradable plastics. It does this through its two main products: Oxium and Ecoplas.
Oxium is US-patented, oxo-biodegradable additive that speeds up the molecular and chemical degradation of plastic. Oxium is used as an additive in low dosage towards regular plastics production and has proven to be an effective and economical solution towards green plastics.
Ecoplas is a new plastics source made from tapioca. Products made from Ecoplas are completely biodegradable and renewable.
The making of Ecoplas - cassava-based plastic, an "earth friendly plastic" that is 100% biodegradable and renewable (bio-based) from tapioca.
SOCIAL IMPACT
Greenhope is a job creator within agriculture, as tapioca farmers supply the raw material needed for the production of Ecoplas. The positive impact on the landfills and oceans from a much faster degradation cycle (2-5years vs 500-1000years) feeds back to people.
ECOPLAS® is a
bio-degradable polymer made from tapioca.
