Next Generation of Compostable Plastic

Next Generation of Compostable Plastic-

Next generation of plastic-they come from renewable materials and break down through composting.

Plastic made from petrochemicals and fossil fuels, compostable plastic are derived from renewable materials like corn, potato, cellulose, soy protein, and lactic acid. Compostable plastic are biodegradable and non-toxic for environment. They easily decompose back into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass.

Next Generation of Compostable Plastic

Compostable Plastic means what?

The plastic that can be decomposed by the action of living organisms, usually microbes into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. They are referring to plastic that is made from natural raw materials like maize, cane sugar, or potatoes. Compostable plastics are made from polylactic acid(PLA). PLA is made from dextrose, a sugar produced plants. The production of PLA resin uses in 52% less energy than the production of petroleum-based resins.

Benefits of compostable plastic-

Compostable plastic made from plants instead of petrochemicals from fossil fuels.

It is non-toxic for environment

Less energy for manufacturing and creates fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
