Understanding Biodegradable Plastic Resin Tuesday, Jun 24 2008

Plastic resin – Plastics are resin specific which means plastics are not easily recyclable to other forms. But it does not mean they are to be discarded because they might be able to use for other purposes.

Biodegradable Packing and Packaging Material

Biodegradable packing and packaging material are just as effective as many of the plastic products used to ship items. The difference is that they will degrade or disintegrate over time rather than be released somewhere in the environment to remain for months or years at a time. With biodegradable packaging materials, they will dissolve over time and not have a negative impact on animal habitats and the environment. Many of these biodegradable packing and packaging material uses polyactic acid that is commonly referred to as resin. Biodegradable packing and packaging are plant-based, which means they are made up of renewable resources. They are created from nature, which means they decompose completely within weeks or months.

Biodegradable Plastic Bags Tuesday, Feb 26 2008

Approximately over 200 million tones of non-degradable plastics are manufactured around the world. Inimical to mankind by nature, these plastics turn toxic when discarded carelessly. Plastics dumped into sea are highly toxic and endanger most of the sea species. Because of their toxic nature, lands become highly polluted and grow hazardous. They also increase global warming. The only solution to all these harms lies in using biodegradable plastics. These plastics are fully degradable and prevent the soil from getting polluted. Some of the biodegradable plastics are degradable even in sea water which is a great help for the sea animals. They reduce pollution on land and water. Some of the useful applications of these plastics are carry-out bags, packaging films, trash bags. They can also be used as extrusion coat papers which are used in coated paper cups, trays and others.
