Open-Source Plasticizers Achieves Groundbreaking Innovation: World’s First EPPE Bio-Based Film Derived from Waste Cooking Oil Officially Launched

Amid the accelerating global push toward “dual carbon” (carbon peak and carbon neutrality) goals, Open-Source Plasticizers has successfully developed the world’s first EPPE bio-based film made from waste cooking oil. Using discarded edible oils as its core feedstock, this product marks the first large-scale transformation of kitchen waste into high-performance packaging material. It meets or exceeds existing petroleum-based film standards in performance, regulatory compliance, and traceability—offering a direct drop-in replacement with minimal switching costs and strong commercial viability.

1. Bio-Based Materials: The Green Foundation of the Carbon Neutrality Era

Bio-based materials are products wholly or partially derived from renewable biomass resources. In the plastics industry, they replace fossil fuels—such as oil, natural gas, and coal—with renewable feedstocks like sugarcane, corn, and waste cooking oil, fundamentally reshaping the material value chain at its source.
“Bio-based materials are not only a cornerstone for achieving global carbon neutrality but also a green solution that aligns with modern consumers’ dual aspirations for health and sustainability.”
Unlike conventional plastics, bio-based alternatives absorb CO₂ during the growth phase of their raw materials through photosynthesis, creating a natural carbon cycle. This offers a credible decarbonization pathway for industries ranging from daily consumer goods and bags to outdoor gear, infant care, and medical applications.
