BIODEGRADABLE
Products made from renewable resources
Manufacturing a biodegradable product involves a series of steps carefully designed to use renewable resources instead of fossil based resources. The result is a range of biodegradable products that not only serve their intended purposes effectively but also break down naturally when discarded.
From raw material to biodegradable product
The process begins with the collection of organic materials, derived from renewable resources like corn, potatoes, sugar canes, and sugar beets. These resources serve as the foundation for the biodegradable product, ensuring that it can break down naturally over time.
1. Raw Material Processing
Next, these natural resources are carefully processed to extract the essential components needed for biodegradable polymers. These materials undergo various treatments to break them down into their base components, including sugars and starches.
2. Processing into Polymers
The extracted sugars and starches are then transformed into biodegradable polymers. This step involves a chemical process known as polymerization, where these organic compounds are bonded together to form long chains. These biopolymers serve as the building blocks for the eco-friendly product.
3. Creating Biodegradable Foil
The biodegradable polymers are further processed to create a flexible and durable foil material. This often involves extrusion or molding techniques to shape the polymer into sheets or rolls of biodegradable foil.
4. Product Manufacturing
Finally, the biodegradable foil is used as the base material for manufacturing various eco-friendly products.
