CO2 einsparen mit Biokunststoff

Calculate the carbon reduction with bioplastics

“Bioplastics can save a lot of CO₂ – especially when it comes to medical plastics. What is your savings potential? You can now easily find out with an initial estimate through our CO₂ calculator!”

CO2 calculator







This scope includes all emissions generated during cultivation of renewable feedstocks and production of bio-polymer, including its packaging. Switching to BIOVOX bioplastics reduces CO₂ emissions compared to conventional fossil-based plastics.

If the material is incinerated after use, the CO₂ emissions indicated here can be saved by switching to our bioplastics. It is even better to recycle the material. If this interests you further, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Assuming thermal recycling after disposal, the amount of CO₂ listed here can be saved by switching to BIOVOX plastic. In recycling systems even more.

How to calculate:

Select your current polymer, a MedEco bioplastic from BIOVOX and the amount of material. For an initial orientation, you can select the materials as follows:

MedEco ICBBio-based PLA for highly transparent injection-moulded parts
MedEco ICB C1Bio-based PLA for highly transparent injection-moulded parts
MedEco IGHBio-based PLA for particularly rigid, high-grip components
MedEco XCBBio-based PLA for films and blister packaging, as well as rigid extruded profiles and tubes
MedEco XGBBio-PLA für hochsteife, griffige, undurchsichtige Profile
MedEco IPIBio-based PLA for highly rigid, high-grip, opaque profiles
MedEco IPI C1Highly processable, high-flow bio-based HDPE for caps and functional medical components
MedEco IPI C3Lightweight, semi-transparent bio-based HDPE with high elongation for sterile packaging and surgical applications
MedEco IPI C4Highly flexible, semi-transparent bio-based LDPE for closures and packaging
MedEco IPI C6White, highly processable bio-based HDPE for caps and functional medical components
MedEco XPI C2High-elongation bio-based PE for extrusion and extrusion blow moulding; suitable for tubing, films and packaging components
MedEco XPI C3Transparent bio-based PE for extrusion with high elongation; suitable for tubing and films
MedEco XPI C4High-purity bio-based LDPE with good toughness for extrusion blow moulding; suitable for packaging, films and tubing

Do you have any questions, would you like a more detailed calculation of this initial assessment or do you have a specific application case? Let's make health care sustainable and ready for circular economy. ▸Schedule a consultation
