Saw a van today with an Origo decal and the link www.olivegreen.com.sg. The company manufactures tableware / bags / packaging from corn and yam "bioplastic" (not sure if it is related to that company Winrigo I posted about some time back). Composition for most products seems to be 70/30 corn and yam starch / PP, except for their CornBag, which is 40/60. The website has some pretty interesting info on green packing alternatives and also how / why the product is made the way it is (e.g. why PP is required).
A couple of points:
1. I'm not sure I agree with their discussion of "Food Shortage" under the "Environmental / Health Info" tab...
2. Under the "Process" tab, it says "All PP in CornBag™ is biodegradable" though I don't really understand how the PP can be any more biodegradeable than that used in other plastic bags.
