BIOBASE™ POLYCARBONATE SHEETS

Polycarbonate Sheets Using Bio-Attributed Feedstock

Take the lead and become an inspiration for others. With BioBase technology, we can conserve fossil fuels and reduce our carbon footprint. By mass balancing, we provide our global partners with high-quality polycarbonate products attributed to renewable feedstocks. Join us on the path to carbon-neutral polycarbonate products that meet consumer demands and sustainability expectations. Secure your projects with our high-performance products. BioBase products are equal to conventional polycarbonate products with identical quality and properties.

Bio-attributed polycarbonate reduces carbon footprint and conserves fossil resources

Renewable Resources

BioBase Feedstocks are attributed to renewable hydrocarbons derived from bio-waste and residue. This biomass waste includes secondary use vegetable oil (used cooking oil) and food industry processing waste.

Identical Quality & Properties

Palram BioBase polycarbonate products have the same physical, mechanical, thermal, optical, weathering, and processing properties as conventional Palram polycarbonate products.

100% Certified

BioBase-certified products support responsible production requirements. Through mass balance, certified products can be attributed to renewable feedstock.

Fully Recyclable

The most environmentally friendly way to dispose of plastic waste is to recycle it. Just like our conventional polycarbonate products, BioBase polycarbonate products are 100% recyclable.

WHAT IS BIO-ATTRIBUTED POLYCARBONATE FEEDSTOCK?

We use renewable hydrocarbon feedstock to replace fossil-based raw materials. BioBase bio-circular materials are obtained from waste and residue sources. Among these are used vegetable oil, processing wastes, and residues from the food industry.

BioBase sheets provide identical physical, mechanical, thermal, optical, weathering, and processing properties as standard polycarbonate products.

WHAT IS BIO-ATTRIBUTED POLYCARBONATE FEEDSTOCK?

THE MASS BALANCE APPROACH

The mass balance approach is about tracking feedstock quantities from multiple sources and allocating them to specific products.

Tracing of renewable feedstock may not be possible when they are processed along with fossil-fuel-based feedstock. Thus, renewable feedstock must be attributed to an end-product in a transparent and auditable way. With the mass balance method, we can overcome these challenges. A detailed, verified accounting system tracks renewable feedstock quantities and assigns them to a specific production batch. As a result of this approach, fossil raw materials will gradually phase out, creating a chemical industry that is based on converted materials.
