100% Green made®

The green alternative! Oil-free material, 100% green, renewable

The first waste containers 100% made from plant-based material

Green materials constitute a second step towards reducing our dependency on oil.

SULO has developed the first wheeled container made of 100% plant-based polyethylene, derived from sugar cane. Our R&D department has worked on the formulation of the material, within the framework of an exclusivity agreement with a Brazilian supplier.

100% bio-sourced and 100% recyclable, the Green Made® bin is the first plant-based waste container to comply with the requirements of European standards. In particular, it is resistant to very high mechanical stresses during collection as well as to ultraviolet rays.

Green material with technical features identical to fossil plastic: all Green Made® products meet fully the same standards as products manufactured in standard HDPE. The 100% Green Made® containers are manufactured in production centres with ISO 9001, 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certificates.

The first
100% ecologic
and 100% recyclable
waste container

85 %**reduction in C02 emissions
compared to a container

0% oil

From sugar cane to HDPE

Sugar cane
Only 1% of arable land dedicated to sugar cane.***
No GM sugar cane.

Preserved biodiversity
The sugar-cane growing area is located 2,500km from the Amazon forest, the equivalent distance to a flight from Paris to Moscow.***

Recyclable
Bio-sourced, 100 % recyclable material.

Green ethanol
With 1% of land dedicated to ethanol, Brazil has replaced half of its oil-based consumption.

Performance
Technical features are identical to fossil based plastic.

Green Made [CH2=CH2]
A 100% Green Made® Citybac® reduces greenhouse gas emissions by almost 85% compared to a container made of fossil based HDPE.
