Sweet!  FMC Launches Eco-Jug Made From Sugar Cane

FMC’s Agricultural Products Group in Brazil has launched the Green Jug, a pioneering ecological package for the global crop protection industry. The product uses sugar cane ethanol to partially replace the oil that’s currently used in its composition, so the jug’s plant-based nature helps diminish dependence on non-renewable resources. The Green Jug is equal to traditional chemical packaging in terms of its properties, color, weight, appearance and regulatory compliance. The new packaging also meets international production standards and carries the certified Braskem “I’m Green” seal, validating its origin and polymer composition. This new technology was developed in partnership with Unipac Company. Research into the development of this new sugar cane-based packaging began in December 2010.
