Bioplastic Grannule
Bioplastic Granules
Rigel BioEnviron Solutions provides technology consultancy and project development support for biodegradable and compostable bioplastic granule manufacturing facilities. The company has expertise in setting up bioplastic granule production plants as well as downstream product manufacturing from these granules.In addition to its research and development work on next-generation bioplastics from wastewater streams, Rigel also works on starch-based bioplastics granules and products on a commercial scale. The company supports technology selection, process engineering, plant design, product development, and manufacturing solutions for biodegradable plastic applications.
Manufacturing Biocompostable Granules
Bioplastics can technically substitute synthetic plastics, are compostable and Biodegradable (depending on formulations) at End of Life in environments such as soil and water bodies. Besides they are environment friendly as they are produced from renewable resources which can reduce GHG emissions by recycling organic carbon in a closed loop sequestration process.
The project involves Granulation production specialty twin screw extruder Production of compounded pellets from:
(a) Corn Starch Thermoplastic & specialty blends
(b) Biopolymer blends with TPS
(c) Specialty biopolymers for master batch
(d) Compostable organic polymers
Time needed between Inception and Test production:6-8 Months*
*Based on time to arrange finance, land arrangement and infrastructure set up if not in place and finally obtaining IS 17088 certification to sell the product.
Type of Plant: Semi/ Full Automatic
Applications
Bioplastic granules can be processed into a wide range of biodegradable and compostable products, including:
- Carry bags.
- Shopping bags.
- Grocery bags.
- Garment bags.
- Garbage bags.
- Laundry bags.
- Agricultural nursery bags.
- Agricultural mulch films.
- Packaging films.
- Disposable cutlery.
- Aprons and head caps for healthcare and hygiene sectors.
These products serve as sustainable alternatives to conventional single-use plastics and packaging materials.
Benefits
- Biodegradable and compostable, depending on formulation.
- Suitable for replacing conventional plastic products.
- Produced from renewable and bio-based resources.
- Supports reduction of plastic waste.
- Contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions through recycling of organic carbon in a closed-loop system.
- Compatible with a wide range of packaging, agricultural, consumer, and industrial applications.
Manufacturing bio compostable carrying, packaging, useable items
Biodegradable carry bags, garbage bags for commodity carrying, shrink films & stretch films for packaging, aprons & head caps for health & hygiene sector, cutlery items for food sector can be suitable alternatives to conventional plastics for single use applications. The demand is present however supplies are limited in entire eastern India. There is urgent need for manufacturing of such products to cater to the demand of the local population.
