Anyone know a good green/ sustainable / biodegradable clear plastic for printing on. Heavy enough to make a folder out of.
Supplier preferably near Toronto.
Cheers.

This guys might have something:
Warehouse Plastic Sales
90 Venture Drive, Unit 8
Scarborough, ON, M1B 3L6
416-281-4300GE Plastics may as well but they've changed hands I think and can't find their card at the moment...

You can get that plastic made from corn, that would be green...

Found it;
GE Polymershapes
9150 Airport Rd
Brampton L6S 6G1
905-789-3142You'll probably need to ask for cash-sales if you're looking for small quantities. They carry Lexan rolls and all manner of wacky plastics... they may have something both green and, er, green.

Not sure if this is exactly what you need either, but these guys make plant-based plastic...

Natureworks do a clear plastic in various weights...
But I've been told you have to order a lot.No good for a relatively small run of folders!

Green plastic...is it really that green?

technically speaking its not a plastic, but biopolymer is so... awkward to explain.
