Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are both types of plastic commonly used in eco-friendly, sustainable and environmentally responsible packaging solutions. Both materials have some environmental impacts, but there are differences between the two that may make one more suitable for certain applications.
Polypropylene is typically produced using a process called propylene polymerization. This process involves combining propylene molecules to create the raw material for polypropylene. This process is energy-intensive and generates greenhouse gas emissions.
Polypropylene is produced using a process called propylene polymerization. In this process, propylene molecules are combined to create the raw material. This process is generally less energy-intensive and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than the production of polyethylene.
Eco-Friendly Sustainable Packaging and Environmental Impact
In terms of the environmental impact of the materials themselves, polyethylene is generally considered to be more environmentally friendly than polypropylene. Polyethylene is more commonly recycled, and it breaks down more quickly in the environment than polypropylene. However, polypropylene is generally more durable and has a higher melting point, which makes it more suitable for certain applications such as microwave-safe containers.
We Changed Our Duvet Cover Packaging
Protecting and Saving environment is a crucial value for our company. Therefore, to be able to reduce our footprint we changed our duvet cover packaging. Now we use polyethylene in all our packages.
