Outline: "Bio LIMEX Bag" is a shopping bag made mainly from stones and plant-based material. It is neither a plastic bag nor a paper bag. Because it is mainly made from inexpensive limestone, it brings economic benefit even compared to paper bags and bags made only from plant-derived resin.

Evaluation

A 100% bio-derived resin replacement for conventional Limex, which is made from limestone and petroleum-derived plastic, Bio Limex succeeds in helping to conserve petroleum, water, and forest resources and further reducing CO2 emissions. We greatly admire the way in which this item has been designed to lower the threshold for its widespread adoption, as it is primarily made from cheap limestone and equipment for manufacturing conventional plastic bags can be used to produce Bio Limex bags without any modifications. The silky texture of white limestone is pleasant to the touch and this material has an appeal that is hard to explain in terms of its tremendous environmental performance alone. We anticipate that it will find an array of uses.
