Planet Eathic

Planet Eathic was born from a global vision: to bring ethical and sustainable bioplastics solutions first to Asia and Europe, and then expand worldwide.

This vision led to the creation of Planet Eathic Srl in Italy in 2021, leveraging the twenty years of expertise of Planet Eathic Ltd. based in Hong Kong. Our founder and current president, Antonio Fanteria, has gained deep experience in the bioplastics sector, working for approximately 20 years with Hisun Biomaterials, a leading Chinese company in the production and development of a global patent for the creation of ethically compostable PLA. Our strong partnership with Hisun Biomaterials benefits from the company’s two decades of experience in bioplastics innovation and technical development.

The heart of Planet Eathic lies in Bioplastics

At the heart of Planet Eathic’s activities are bioplastics: innovative polymers made from renewable sources, (plant products and starches), with the key feature of being fully compostable in a short time.

Polylactic Acid (PLA) is the key player in this growing market, and Planet Eathic is committed to developing cutting-edge technical solutions and a global supply network for high-quality bioplastic packaging. The Planet Eathic team, through a strong partner network, ensures that every stage of production and supply meets the highest quality standards and international bioplastics regulations.

Our commitment is to ensure our customers an efficient supply chain and products that concretely meet their sustainability needs.

Our partners and certifications

Planet Eathic is distinguished by its manufacturing partnership with Hisun Biomaterials, a leading designer and manufacturer of bioplastics with unique characteristics in the world.

This Chinese industrial powerhouse has more than two decades of experience in the production of bioplastic materials derived from cassava amara (a wild tuber) and sugarcane, both resources not intended for human consumption. This strategic choice makes our PLA inherently ethical, as it does not compete with the food chain, unlike many other producers who use edible crops such as corn, potato starch or sugar beet.

The quality of our PLA, both in granules and in our wide range of disposable products, vending cups and scoops, cutlery and plates, take-away and coffee capsules, is certified by the TUV OK Compost and CSI COMPOSTABLE INDUSTRIAL marks, guaranteeing their full compostability.

Planet Eathic, a help for your business

Planet Eathic is the ideal partner for companies looking for high-quality compostable polymers. With our established network, we can support companies in identifying the most reliable and sustainable raw material producers.
In a global market that has seen increasing difficulties in the supply of raw materials essential for the production of bioplastics since December 2019, Planet Eathic has been able to create a strategic network with companies and brokers in the sector.
Through our Italian trading company, Planet Eathic Srl, we ensure the constant availability of these primary products, offering a concrete solution to supply chain challenges.

Our vision

Our vision is clear: Planet Eathic aspires to become the world leader in developing biodegradable PLA packaging solutions.
To achieve this goal, we have chosen to use innovative and sustainable raw materials: cassava amara (a tuber that grows in Africa, Thailand, and southern China) and Chinese-produced sugarcane, both of which are not intended for human consumption.
Thanks to an exclusive industrial patent, our PLA boasts unique chemical and physical properties, and offers an ethical and compostable bioplastic granulate with a heat resistance superior to that of any other product on the market.
Our ethics are based on the principle of not diverting food resources for the production of bioplastics, distinguishing us from those who use corn, potato starch or sugar beet, which are often additivated with fossil components to achieve heat resistance.

Our mission

Our mission is to actively promote and support research and development in the field of compostable bioplastics, turning innovative ideas into concrete solutions that improve the quality of life while fully respecting the environment and ethical principles.
We are committed to developing inherently sustainable projects, characterized by increased energy efficiency, responsible use of resources, and minimized environmental and social impacts.
We believe in shared growth, which is why we consider each client a true partner, with the goal of building a more sustainable future together.

Ethics and Sustainability

For Planet Eathic, ethics and sustainability mean a concrete commitment not to use resources intended for human consumption in the production of our bioplastics.
This is the basis of our responsible approach to the environment and society.

Discover

biodegradability

Understanding biodegradability is critical to assessing the environmental impact of materials. A biodegradable material has the ability to decompose into simpler substances through the action of microorganisms.
This process transforms organic matter into natural elements such as water, carbon dioxide and methane, without releasing substances that are harmful to the environment.
Importantly, biodegradability depends on the chemical structure of the material, not just its origin. Therefore, Planet Eathic is committed to using PLA specifically designed to be fully biodegradable.

Discover

compostability

Compostability refers to the final life cycle of a product and its ability to be organically recycled along with wet and organic waste, turning into compost through a controlled biological decomposition process. The result is a mature, stable and odorless compost, rich in humus and trace elements, a valuable ally against desertification and soil depletion, ideal as a natural fertilizer in agriculture and floriculture.
Planet Eathic products are certified as compostable by TUV OK Compost and CSI COMPOSTABLE INDUSTRIAL laboratories that guarantee this virtuous organic recycling process.

Discover

renewability

Renewability focuses on the origin of raw materials, particularly those of plant and animal origin that have the ability to regenerate quickly: plants, trees and their derivatives. This characteristic distinguishes them from fossil resources such as oil.
Planet Eathic prefers to use renewable raw materials such as cassava amara and sugarcane, in line with our commitment to a more sustainable future.
