Description

The new VeriGreen Flexy-Glass® half pint glasses are linked to 100% waste sunflower oil via mass balance, that is sourced primarily from used cooking oil.

The material which is linked to 100% Used Plant Oil* and carbon neutral significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions compared to material made from fossil fuel-based feedstocks.

The carbon footprint on a case of 1000 VeriGreen Flexy-Glass® half pint glasses is reduced, saving 1485 CO2. This is confirmed by the LCA certificate supplied by TOTAL, the raw material producer. It shows a -180% cradle to gate CO2 saving compared to standard fossil fuel generated Polypropylene

The waste sunflower oil used to produce the VeriGreen Flexy-Glass®, is entirely waste material and helps to reduce wastewater pollution.

The residue streams can be traceable back to their point of origin following the ISCC chain of custody.

The waste oil is no longer fit for human consumption, and as such, does not impact food security or land. Its use reduces the carbon footprint of the end product compared to conventional polypropylene and contributes to the circular economy by helping to remove the need to use fossil fuels.

*CO2e (cradle to gate) savings generated as per TotalEnergies LCA certificate, using Sunflower oil PP vs standard fossil fuel generated PP; showing a -180% cradle to gate CO2e savings. The functional unit is production of 1kg of product in TotalEnergies facilities in Europe
