Amenities zero plastic of renewable sources PLA

Plastic, in the spotlight: these are the alternatives in amenities and welcome items in the hotel sector

But what alternatives are there to the essential plastic? In the 21st century we have a lot of techniques and materials that can make sustainable objects so that they do not leave a carbon footprint and the environment is conserved.

Among these plastic-free articles, the amenities stand out, and the large hotel chains have already echoed the news by replacing these welcome products, such as shampoo bottles with dispensers and other biodegradable products, bioplastics or oxobiodegradable.

Biodegradable materials, the new allies

Biodegradable materials, also called compostable, are all those whose large proportion of the product is of natural origin, so they are also organic, that is, they degrade naturally with rain, sun, wind, humidity or bacteria. Without the need for human presence!

Biodegradable raw materials are the future

What are the raw materials from which a biodegradable product is manufactured? Also called biobased, are those elements such as wood, cardboard, straw, cotton, wool, silk, leaves, plant remains, paper, cork, etc. Like our biodegradable razor blades and biodegradable toothbrushes, made from wheat fiber.

Bioplastic, hand in hand with vegetables

Another variety of sustainable products that we can find are bioplastics, a type of plastic that is derived from vegetables, such as potato starch, soybean oil, wheat straw or corn, unlike conventional plastics that are derived from petroleum. Bioplastic can also be made from polylactic acids (PLA). But what exactly is this acid?

PLA, among the great solutions

PLA, which is derived from renewable sources, is very similar to ordinary plastic, with the difference that it is more sensitive to heat and light, which causes it to accelerate the composting process and becomes compost, like, for example, our biodegradable cornstarch shower cap.

d2w technology is also present

D2W technology is nothing more than an additive that is added during the manufacturing of the product and that makes it usable for a pre-established period of time, which causes it to no longer be common plastic and becomes oxobiodegradable plastic.

Oxobiodegradable plastic, the enemy of conventional plastic

This is one of the great alternatives to be able to use plastic material in a sustainable way so that it can be reintegrated into the environment without being harmful, and also being food for germs and microbes.

Recycled content vs. recyclable content

What is the difference between these two terms? Very simple, recycled content is a material that has been recovered from waste, either because people have used something previously or because waste has been generated in the manufacturing process.

Meanwhile, recyclable content is that which the majority of people who purchase a product later can use for more uses after the initial wear and tear.

After this brief explanation, you have been able to know the amount of elements that can be used as a substitute for those that are not biodegradable, because pollution and damage suffered by the environment is a ours.

And at RH, we are aware of the cause, so don't think twice when getting your bio and eco amenities!
