Bioplastics as a solution to the problem of polluting plastic waste that suffocates the planet
Does it make sense to continue using packaging that can take centuries to disappear, for products that last days or months?
Plastic is the third most used oil application in the world, and we consume 200 million tons a year on the planet. It comes from non-renewable and non-biodegradable sources and can take over 1,000 years to decompose. Bioplastics, biodegradable and from renewable sources, are therefore presented as the new materials with the least impact on ecosystems as a sustainable and future solution.
Advantages of Bioplastics
Reduce carbon footprint
They represent significant energy savings in production
They do not consume non-renewable raw materials
Reduce non-biodegradable waste that pollutes the environment
They do not contain additives harmful to health, such as phthalates or bisphenol A
They do not modify the taste or aroma of the food contained
Our bioplastics, INTERRA® and VITERRA®, work in a wide range of applications such as injection molding and film blowing, being biodegradable and compostable materials.
As an alternative to traditional plastic, our bioplastics are made from non-food grade tapioca starch, a renewable and abundant resource with many formulations and applications. Starch, being hydroscopic, can absorb moisture. Plasticizers are added to the starch to allow it to be thermoplastically processed by varying the amounts of additives and processes, and the characteristics of the material can be customized according to specific customer requirements. The result is a material with a low environmental impact, non-toxic to humans or the environment and that allows the manufacture of quality final products.
Biopolymers are already becoming popular in European and American cities, which are increasingly demanding this type of product for ecological reasons. INTERRA® and VITERRA® are 100% degradable, equally resistant and versatile, and are already used in sectors such as agriculture, the textile industry, medicine and, notably, in the packaging market.
At OVALL we are committed to producing the most profitable Bio Resin for our clients and most sustainable for the planet.
