Bio-Degradable Sheets

A study on biodegradable sheet: A blend of Corn Starch and Chitosan- An alternative to conventional plastics, was carried out by compression moulding method, incorporating thermoplastic chitosan in thermoplastic Corn Starch matrix, using glycerol, citric acid, and water. Functional properties like Tensile strength, Elongation at break % and biodegradability properties were studied. . A blend of corn starch & chitosan an alternative to conventional plastics The sheets were made in two different proportions, T1 and T2 with varying composition of Corn Starch

Environment Perspective

There is growing recognition that addressing the symptoms of the crisis through clean-ups is not enough. We need to move away from today’s linear take-make-waste model and fundamentally rethink the way we design, use and reuse plastics. A systemic shift tackling the root causes is required: a transition towards a circular economy for plastic, in which it never becomes a waste or pollution,” – The Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

Sustainability

Expanding Policy for Biodegradable Plastic Products and Market Dynamics of Bio-Based PlasticsBio-plastics are rapidly growing in popularity, and many new techniques and approaches are emerging as a result of intensive research and development (R&D) activities. Many industries worldwide are installing their new production capability. Bio-plastics have attracted political leaders’ interest, especially in light of the evolving bio-economic orientation, through their use of renewable resources and their effects on sustainable growth. Related market determinants are defined, classified, and used as a
