CORN WASTE

An Organically Responsible Promotion

Corn is a fast-growing crop. After harvesting the primary crop, maize, leaves and stems remain as a residual product. Historically, this waste product would have been incinerated. With new production methods, this waste is now used as a raw material for sustainable and environmentally friendly products. The starch from the fast-growing maize plant serves as the basis for bio-plastic, also known as PLA. It is 100% biodegradable, 100% industrially compostable and CO2 neutral. With products that basically consist of corn, you are investing in a strong eco-gift.

Vibers are natural fibers created from fast-growing Dutch Elephant Grass (Miscanthus x Giganteus). Elephant grass grows locally on marginal soils in the Netherlands. Pesticides and irrigation are not necessary during cultivation of this grass. Vibers are suitable for making sustainable materials such as paper and cardboard, bioplastic and bioconcrete. The use of elephant grass helps to lower CO2 emissions, creating a better and more sustainable environment. Clipper are committed to accelerating the biobased economy.
