PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A CARBON DIOXIDE NEUTRAL AND BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER AND PACKAGING PRODUCTS PRODUCED THEREOF

摘要

A process for producing a polymer material comprising: (a) providing a polymer material, which is carbon dioxide neutral and is selected from polyethylene, e.g. made from sugar cane ethanol, polypropylene and polystyrene, (b) providing a biodegradable additive, (c) blending the polymer material of step (a) with the biodegradable additive of step (b), wherein the biodegradable additive of step (b) is an organic mixture for the growing of naturally occurring organism comprising a fungal-bacterial mixture, e.g. a Penicillium-Bacillus mixture.
