Tamarisk launches 100% biodegradable 100/ 30 ana-Plasticizer

摘要

FOR years, the plastics industry has sought the ever-elusive development of truly biodegradable plastic matrixes with very limited success. Although, corn and potato starch formulations offered new possibilities, many soon realized it was not quite the solution the industry had been searching for. Not only did they discover the expense of starch processing to be far too excessive in comparison to traditional plastic for making such technologies common practice, but also the plastic matrixes derived did not actually meet the standards of "true" biodegradability. Plastic ware, for example, made from cornstarch takes more than 5 years to biodegrade once buried in soil, and furthermore, the matrix does not degrade 00%.
