Bio-based Minigrip®
100% recyclable bio-based clear plastic bag with zipper closure
Made in Europe, the Minigrip® biosourced PE (polyethylene) range is made from sugar cane, a renewable natural resource that reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The biosourced Minigrip® is suitable for food contact.
This biobased range is of the same quality and complements the Original range as well as the recycled range. All our Minigrip® bags are reclosable, reusable and recyclable.
Minigrip® biobased is visually distinguished from the rest of the range by its three green lines on the lip.
We promote local employment with the extrusion and shaping of our bags in our two production plants in Europe.

The carbon footprint of Minigrip® biobased bags is 76% lower than bags manufactured in Asia with the same thickness (50 µm) and 68% lower than Minigrip® Original bags.
The carbon impact is lower for the biobased pouch because the material used is sugar cane, which itself absorbs CO2 during production.
