United Caps Caps is teaming up with Brazilian petrochemical firm Braskem to add bio-sourced plastic caps and closures from sugar cane to its product line. United Caps's bioplastic caps are made using I'm green polyethylene, which uses bioethanol as a feedstock rather than fossil-based alternatives. Bioethanol comes from sugar cane, which itself captures and fixes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, giving I'm green polyethylene a negative carbon footprint rating.
