| | Boost for bio-based plastics from plants (CSIRO - Australia) | | 2008-05-17 19:21:41 | | Australian researchers are a step closer to turning plants into ‘biofactories’ capable of producing oils which can be used to replace petrochemicals used to manufacture a range of products.
Scientists working within the joint CSIRO/Grains Research and Development Corporation, Crop Biofactories Initiative (CBI), have achieved a major advance by accumulating 30 per cent of an [...] | | By: Bio-Polym Blog | | |
| | Bioplastics: Plastics’ Greener Cousin - A point of view! | | 2008-05-09 06:28:23 | | “Bioplastics, plant-based biodegradable plastics, are gradually replacing plastics made from petroleum. They comprise only a small portion of the plastics, but as soaring prices and politics make petroleum an expensive and controversial raw material, bioplastics are an increasingly attractive alternative.
The Guardian reported recently that the sector is growing by 20% to 30% a year.

| | PCD Insert Tooling for Plastics | | 2008-04-02 14:45:54 | | Plastics and reinforced plastics can be machined with PCD Inserts and PCD tooling. The general perception is that plastic materials are easy to machine. However, soft plastics are not always so stable, and the machining process, which always generates heat, can affect dimensional and material properties like surface texture and colour, if the correct cutting tool is not applied.PCD tools are particulary effective on abrasive plastics where plastics are reinforced with carbon fibres (CF) or | | By: Carbide Inserts | | |

| | | Biodegradable Plastics: | | 2007-12-04 00:12:00 | | When seen from an environmental point of view, the dominance plastic has over our daily lives is frightening. Each time we use a plastic container we are adding to the plastic waste that dots the landscape. And you can forget about it getting absorbed in the soil. Plastic does not take kindly to decomposition.Plastic is manufactured from non-renewable sources like coal, natural gas and oil and due to this, organisms that do all the dirty work of decomposition find it difficult to break and assimilate the polymer molecules that make up regular plastic. This renders traditional plastic non-degradable and a veritable threat to the environment.The science of biotechnology has been consistently trying to change the make-up of plastic by researching processes that can produce plastic that is biodegradable. There has been some progress made in the search with the discovery of bioplastics or green plastics.There are certain natural polymers found in starch obtained from cereal plants, tubers, etc. which are processed to produce a bioplastic called polylactide [PLA]. Another popular bioplastic called polyhydroxyalkanoate [PHA] is obtained from bacteria.These green plastics have found application in a variety of goods like pots, disposable nappies, candy wrappers, etc. They do come with certain limitations though as bioplastic production involves considerable cost as compared to traditional plastics.If biotechnology does succeed in producing a plastic that will completely replace traditional plastic then Mother Nature is certain to heave a huge sigh of relief. PLAs have molecules that can be broken down easily by organisms. The production of PLA also reduces 68 percent of the greenhouse gases that are produced by regular plastic.For now, hopes are pinned on biotech research for a solution to replace plastic.

| | | Plastics turned to mattress | | 2007-06-16 18:30:34 | |
Rita Krug, was tired of seeing all those bags scattered across the desert and filling up the garbage dumps. She had collected so many bags at her house that her maid suggested she stuff them into mattresses for poor children who might otherwise sleep on the floors of their homes. In 2000, Krug invited a few friends over for lunch and did just that. It became an occasional project.After Krug moved from the area, her friend Tonia Allen took the project to St. Paul’s, her local church in Mexico. Now every Wednesday morning, a group of parishioners and friends gather there to stuff plastic bags they’ve saved or collected from friends and neighbors into mattress covers, donating the finished products to local charities.
