This material are more sustainable and cost effective than traditional oil-based plastics. This is used by Dell for its computer packaging sleeves. Air Carbon is made by combining air with methane-based carbon emissions(carbon that would otherwise become part of the air we breathe) to produce a material that is approximately 40% oxygen from air and 60% carbon and hydrogen from captured methane emissions by weight. High-Performance. AirCarbon is able to meet the performance requirements of a wide range of applications, including applications currently using fossil fuel-based polypropylene, polyethylene, ABS, polystyrene, and TPU. It can be used in extrusion, blown film, cast film, thermoforming, fiber spinning, and injection molding applications. By replacing oil with AirCarbon, packaging can use more green house gas than it emits and actually displace oil and reducing the amount of carbon in the air.
