France-based Plastics Omnium is set to provide rubbish bins made with sugarcane-based PE to the United Nations' Rio+20 Conference on sustainable development in Brazil.
The contract is for 50,000 240l bins, which were first launched at the Salon Pollutec show in Lyon, France, last year. They are made with plant-based PE derived from non alimentary sugarcane.
Plastic Omnium developed the material Sigmatech R&D centre in La Plaine de l'Ain, near Lyon.
