1. A biobased polymer composition for pharmaceutical articles, the biobased polymer composition comprising:
a low density polyethylene, in which at least a portion of ethylene is obtained from a renewable source of carbon,
wherein the biobased polymer composition exhibits an Emission Factor in a range from −3.5 kg CO2e/kg of the biobased polymer composition to 0 kg CO2e/kg of the biobased polymer composition; and
wherein the biobased polymer composition is biocompatible for use in pharmaceutical packaging as defined in European Pharmacopoeia 10th Edition 2021 (10.4 and 10.5) Chapter 3.1.4.
