3.Q: What happens after biodegradable and compostable products are thrown away |
A:After Products are used and discarded, they will be either
dumped in landfills/compost facilities to biodegrade, or,
incinerated.
In both cases, the waste produced is non-toxic humus and can be used as fertilisers. The gas emitted is also non-toxic. The carbon-neutrality helps to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into our atmosphere by up to 68% as compared to pure plastic products.

4.Q: 2. Why must polypropylene be present in plant starch products? wouldn't it be better if only starch is the only component? |
|
A:Pure starch though cheap, cannot be easily thermoformed and does not produce sound structural qualities. Meaning to say, even if the product can be shaped, the end product is not waterproof, extremely powdery in feel and crumbles easily once it comes into contact with fluids. This product fails to meet commercial expectations and the product range is very limited even though it is biodegradable, compostable and boasts of very low carbon emissions when incinerated.A good percentage (70%) of food grade - genetically non modified starch blended with polypropylene (petrol plastic PP - 30%) forms the basis of plant starch products. The overall structure of the product is strong, non brittle, naturally slightly tinted (ivory coloration) and most importantly, very affordable. Only the starch blended portion will biodegrade and produce lesser carbon dioxide when incinerated. The PP portion will still take a little period of time to break down(the dia. are less than 1mm,it is no harm for plant). It is better for 30% of a disposable product to be plastic than a 100% worth of plastic – an overall reduction in our dependency on petroleum. This composition though affordable, is only partially biodegradable and compostable tarch based portion only). |
