Oryzite: The alternative that outperforms recycled plastic at a critical moment for the industry

The closure of numerous recycling plants in Europe and other parts of the world is putting the packaging industry at risk. The reality is that plastic recycling, although necessary, is not always the sustainable solution we were told. Supply issues, inconsistent quality, and high costs are leaving many brands facing an uncertain future.

In this context, Oryzite emerges as a more stable, innovative, and sustainable option, offering advantages that recycled plastic simply cannot guarantee.

Why recycled plastic is no longer enough

For years, brands have relied on recycled plastic to reduce their environmental impact. However, today we face several limitations:

  • Recycling plant closures: Lack of profitability and regulatory changes are forcing many facilities to stop operating.
  • Not all plastic can be recycled: Only a portion of waste is actually transformed into new material.
  • Quality issues: Recycled plastic can contain impurities affecting durability, finish, and safety.

The result is an unreliable supply chain, prone to interruptions and variability in results.

Why Oryzite is different

Oryzite doesn’t aim to replace all plastic but significantly reduce it through an innovative, naturally-based material. Key benefits include:

  • Drastic reduction in plastic use: Oryzite enables packaging with a high percentage of natural materials, reducing reliance on fossil-based plastic.
  • Less microplastics: By using a renewable, biodegradable resource, it reduces persistent plastic waste.
  • Stable quality: Unlike post-consumer recycled plastic, Oryzite ensures uniform production.
  • Lower environmental footprint: Utilizes renewable natural resources with a far lower impact than conventional or recycled plastic.

A strategic value for brands

Adopting Oryzite is not just an environmental decision—it’s a future-proof strategy. Brands that integrate it into their packaging gain:

  • Supply security: Less dependence on recycling plants at risk of closure.
  • Enhanced reputation: Consumers reward authentic sustainability solutions over temporary fixes.
  • Visible innovation: Choosing Oryzite differentiates your brand with more responsible packaging aligned with market demands.

Conclusion: real sustainability beyond recycling

Plastic recycling will still play a role, but alone it is no longer enough. Brands need alternatives that combine sustainability, quality, and long-term viability.

Oryzite represents that step forward: an innovative material that drastically reduces plastic use, ensures production stability, and strengthens brands’ environmental commitment.

In a world where sustainability increasingly matters, choosing Oryzite is not just a responsible option—it’s a competitive advantage.
