Green Dot makes more sustainable plastics by using renewable, reclaimed, and recycled materials instead of oil and natural gas. Each year, 191 million barrels of oil are used to make plastic, which accounts for 8% of the world's oil. However, only 6.5% of plastic is recycled. Green Dot's biocomposites decrease petroleum use in plastics by over 50% while promoting renewable, reclaimed, and recycled materials. Their biocomposites have superior performance and price points to meet consumer demand for sustainable products without sacrificing quality or cost.
