Product description
Rice husk-based polyethylene is a biobased plastic that incorporates rice husk - a byproduct of rice milling, as a filler material. The utilization of rice husk in recycled polypropylene not only provides a valuable outlet for a waste material but also reduces the need for virgin fillers and reduces the carbon footprint associated with the production of polyethylene.
