Formulated Using New Techniques.
Foremost, our Eco-friendly and Biodegradable range of food packaging items, EcoVue, are formulated using new techniques, with the Polypropylene (PP) and a proprietary additive from the USA. The Polypropylene undergoes Biotransformation which allows it to biodegrade in landfills, lab tested to be around 64.3% in 205 days and full biodegradation between 1 to 5 years conditions dependent.
As the majority of waste ends up in landfills throughout the world, we have targeted our products to fulfill this gap.
In terms of biodegradability in landfills, recyclability with other mainstream plastics, shelf life, storage conditions, oxygen required, exposure to sunlight/heat, microplastics formation and biodegradation in commercial and municipal composts, our bio/eco-friendly food packaging in our EcoVue series contain more efficient properties as compared to other alternatives in the market.

Additionally, EcoVue products are manufactured using Green Energy as our manufacturing facilities are powered via Solar Energy!
With the rise in sustainability initiatives, we are making conscious efforts in reducing our carbon footprint! SKP uses solar power to fuel its manufacturing facilities in Singapore. We have partnered with Total Solar Distributed Generation, generating about 1,000 Megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity per year.1,000 MWh is equivalent to the electricity consumption of 280 four-room households for an entire year!386 tons of total carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by using solar panels – that’s about 65 cars off the road annually!
