Renewable polyethylene

Renewable polyethylene (R-PE) is a type of polyethylene plastic that is derived from renewable resources rather than fossil fuels. Traditional polyethylene is produced from petroleum, which is a non-renewable resource. In contrast, renewable polyethylene is typically made from bio-based materials, such as sugarcane or other plant materials, through processes that convert these organic materials into high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE).
