End-of-Life Road Map: The Complexity of the Issue

Understanding End-of-Life or After-Use Alternatives for Plastics

Globally, end of life cycle scenarios are complicated for all materials, especially plastics.  At NatureWorks, we have worked to understand these complicated cycles in order to help us execute our long-term commitment to zero waste for Ingeo biopolymer as it is used in a variety of applications.

To help consumers, brandowners, retailers, educators and other partners in this process, we have created an animated “guidebook” to help in the understanding of the current processes that are in place from collection to final end of life. This animation covers the topics of recycling, composting, incineration and landfilling.
