Biodegradable and compostable alternatives to conventional plastics.
Packaging waste forms a significant part of municipal solid waste and has caused increasing environmental concerns, resulting in a strengthening of various regulations aimed at reducing the amounts generated. Among other materials, a wide range of oil-based polymers is currently used in packaging applications. These are virtually all non-biodegradable, and some are difficult to recycle or reuse...
متن کاملInjection Molding of Plastics from Agricultural Materials
OBJECTIVE DOE Chicago Operations %ice The objective of this research was to conduct a systematic study to relate injection molding parameters to properties of blends of starch and synthetic polymer. Blends of normal (25 % amylose) and high amylose (50 and 70% amylose) corn starch (containing between 60 and 70 % of the mixture by weight) and synthetic polymer were used in this research. Two diff...
متن کاملDegradation of Biodegradable/Degradable Plastics in Municipal Solid-Waste Landfill
This paper provides information about biodegradability of biodegradable/degradable materials advertised as 100%-degradable or certified as compostable in a municipal solid-waste landfill. It describes a 12month experiment with five samples that took place in a landfill. The results, demonstrated that the polyethylene sample with the additive (samples 1) and sample labelled as 100% degradable (s...
متن کاملComparison of chickpea and soy protein isolate and whole flour as biodegradable plastics
The objective of the present work is to compare some different crop products such as protein isolates and defatted whole flours from legumes, as chickpea and soy bean, involved in the molded compression processing to obtain plastics. The present work analysed the possibility of forming new plastic materials with products of chickpea, and soy bean seeds typically from the North West of Argentina...
متن کاملThe second green revolution? Production of plant-based biodegradable plastics.
Biodegradable plastics are those that can be completely degraded in landfills, composters or sewage treatment plants by the action of naturally occurring micro-organisms. Truly biodegradable plastics leave no toxic, visible or distinguishable residues following degradation. Their biodegradability contrasts sharply with most petroleum-based plastics, which are essentially indestructible in a bio...
