Australian sustainable resins and products supplier, Cardia Bioplastics has secured an annual supply contract of its renewable Biohybrid kitchen bags to the City District of Shanghai Pudong, in China.
As part of the agreement, Cardia will annually supply an estimated US$1.2 million worth of its proprietary renewable Biohybrid kitchen bags to approximately 20% of householders in this region.
Shanghai Pudong in recent years has focused heavily on environmental initiatives, such as targeting waste separation at the source. Following the World Expo in 2010, Shanghai introduced and implemented an organic waste separation process to separate plant and food scraps at the household level, as these scraps form a large part of the Chinese domestic waste stream.
