The resin used to make
NaturesPlastŠ products
The resin used to make our NaturesPlast~ products is made from 100%
renewable resources from plant starch. The manufacturing process
for these resins takes place at a lower heat than that required for
manufacturing with traditional plastics, further bringing down
the amount of energy used to produce it, as well as reducing the amount of
carbon dioxide produced, reducing green house gasses. Traditional
plastics are petroleum-based and the cost is not subject to fluctuation based
on the price of fossil fuels.
Plant starch-based resin manufacturing is done with bio-polymer
matrix made from renewable, cost-stable resources. These biopolymers
include polylactic acid (PLA), soy proteins, PHA, PHBs, or starch from
corn, wheat or potatoes.
The selected bio-polymer is blended with other biodegradable
components to reinforce its molecular structure. The blend is then polymerized
and treated with nano-composites for surface optimization and further
reinforcement. The entire green composite process is a very
effective alternative to traditional plastic and has a great benefit to our
environment.
