Who We Are?

The process for making plant-based plastic from sugar cane is made up of pioneering technology. The first ‘crushing’ phase of processing releases the sugar juices which are used to create the sugar we know and love. The following ‘crushing’ phases break down the sugar cane further which is then used to create ethanol, a plant-based alcohol. This bio-ethanol can be used as a petrol substitute or make plastic that is molecularly identical to traditional plastic made from fossil fuels. The next part is where new technology comes in. The ethanol is turned in a plant-based ‘green’ polyethylene that has the same physical properties as conventional polyethylene made from oil. Ecowit promises this will help with reducing the carbon footprint while they keep working on being completely friendly for our planet.
