Techonologies - Biodegradable Packaging Materialc
Introduction
Biological packaging are - as the name suggests -
biologically decomposable products consisting of agricultural
raw materials produced from industrial starch. The product
is suitable for industrial production of large quantities
and can replace traditional types of packaging. It is
sturdy, suited for micro waving and freezing, and can
also be stored for virtually unlimited periods. The
one difference is that it completely degrades after
use - within a few weeks.It is made of biological raw
materials, which are renewable and produced in excess
worldwide (starch). The raw material starch is extracted
from fast growing plants by means of simple procedures.
The material decomposes (e.g. if exposed to lasting
rain) and is decompounded biologically by 100%. It does
not contain any ingredients, which are not subject to
biological decomposition. It contributes to a dramatic
reduction of the garbage volume. No petrol chemical
raw materials are used. Thus the decreasing crude oil
reso
Raw Materials: potato
starch, maize starch and similar raw materials having
a high content of starch. Moreover plant fibes and the
so called "premix" are used.
