A Leader In Taste. Now A Leader In Change.
Polymateria has announced the successful launch of Lyfecycle’s time-controlled biodegradation technology with iconic lifestyle tea brand Tealive, introducing cups and straws designed to biodegrade responsibly at end of life. The launch, which took place in January, marks another step forward in the development of more sustainable single-use packaging solutions.
Why This Matters
In Malaysia alone, 63% of plastic waste is neither recycled nor properly disposed of, allowing it to leak into the environment. Malaysians rank among the highest globally for microplastic ingestion, with each individual consuming an estimated 502.3 mg per day and contributing approximately 2.29 kg of ocean-bound plastic every year.
The Lyfecycle Solution
Lyfecycle cups and straws deliver real environmental benefits while maintaining the performance businesses and customers expect. Certified by SIRIM ECO 098:2023 – Malaysia’s certification for environmentally sustainable products – underpinned by the BSI PAS 9017 independent standard verifying complete biodegradation in the open terrestrial environment.
Looking Ahead
This launch represents an important milestone in Polymateria’s wider sustainability journey. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to continuous improvement, transparency and innovation, as both organisations work towards a more sustainable future — one product at a time.
