Starch based biodegradable & Compostable resin
Biodegradable resin is a type of plastic that can break down into natural materials through the action of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. Biodegradable resins are typically made from renewable resources, and are designed to decompose into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. Biodegradable resin is used for a variety of applications, including packaging, agriculture, and consumer goods.
Starch-modified blown plastic developed in accordance with EN13432, ASTM6400. It can be processed on various types of film blowing machines, printing machines, bag-making machines, and sealing machines.
Starch based biodegradable & Compostable resin is applicable for various kinds of bags, such as T shirt bags, Garbage bags, Produces bags, Draw Stringbags etc.
An analysis of a new market research report stated that “starch blends are expected to account for the largest share in the market” from 2015 to 2020. Out of the 2.05 million tons of bioplastics produced in 2017 worldwide, starch blends accounted for 18.8%.
Starch can be used to reduce the carbon footprint of traditional resins because they can replace petroleum-based polymers with natural ones. It is also highly degradable, meaning it can be used alongside a compostable polymer without interfering with the degradation process. In fact, starch-based bioplastics are widely employed in the medical industry because of their biocompatibility, low toxicity, degradation properties and mechanical properties.
Advantages of biodegradable resins
Environmentally friendly: Biodegradable resins are made from renewable resources, and they break down into natural materials that do not harm the environment.
Reduced waste: Biodegradable resins can reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills or the ocean.
Cost-effective: Biodegradable resins can be made from inexpensive raw materials, making them a cost-effective alternative to traditional plastics.
Versatility: Biodegradable resins can be used for a variety of applications, including packaging, agriculture, and consumer goods.
Some common applications of biodegradable resins
Packaging: Biodegradable resins can be used to make packaging materials, such as bags, wraps, and containers, that can break down in the environment.
Agriculture: Biodegradable resins can be used to make mulch films, which are used to control weeds and retain moisture in soil.
Consumer goods: Biodegradable resins can be used to make products such as disposable razors, toothbrushes, and cutlery.
Medical: Biodegradable resins can be used to make implants and other medical devices that can be broken down in the body over time.
