Bio-polymers & Bio-plastics Web Resources
- Bioplastics: BIOplastics
designs and manufactures products from polymer plastics and acrylic
material, for use in the (molecular biology) laboratory field.
- Compostable,
Biodegradable BioPlastics: Bioplastics are a new generation of
biodegradable & compostable plastics, derived from renewable raw
materials such as starch.
- Genuine Biothane
Made By Bioplastics: BioPlastics manufactures Biothane Belting,
polyurethane coated narrow fabric webbing, Beta, used in equine, dog
collar, sport, medical, EMS, safety.
- Best
of the Bioplastics : There's a great future in bioplastics. Check
out the best bioplastic musings from our past.
- Huge
Potential For Bioplastics: t is the renewable and biodegradable
nature of such ingredients that give the types of plastic produced from
the acids the classification of ‘bio-plastics’.
- Plastics
Recycling Information Sheet: A number of manufacturers have been
exploring alternatives to plastics made from non-renewable fossil-fuels.
Such alternative 'bio-plastics' include polymers made from plants sugars
and plastics grown inside genetically modified plants or
micro-organisms.
- Synthetic
Biodegradable Polymers: The general criteria for selecting a polymer
for use as a biomaterial is to match the mechanical properties and the
time of degradation to the needs of the application.
- Center for
Biodegradable Polymer Research: The Biodegradable Polymer Research
Center (BPRC) functions to carry out exploratory and fundamental
research on biodegradable polymers to support the technological
interests of its members.
- Biodegradable
Polymers: British company Symphony Environmental is producing fully
degradable bin bags, carrier bags and other plastic bags from
polyethylene, using new additive technology to reduce the plastic to
carbon dioxide and water in just a few weeks.
- Biodegradable
Polymers for the Environment: Biodegradable polymers are designed to
degrade upon disposal by the action of living organisms. Extraordinary
progress has been made in the development of practical processes and
products from polymers such as starch, cellulose, and lactic acid. The
need to create alternative biodegradable water-soluble polymers for
down-the-drain products such as detergents and cosmetics has taken on increasing
importance.
- BioPolymer: Informaion
about Biopolymers and bioplastics: material, products, books,
certification, a lot of resources, and much more!
- Wiley InterScience
- Biopolymers and
Bioplastics: This site explains the definition for bioplastics
and biopolymers and also provides a brief detail on how it is made.
- MIT
Biopolymers Laboratory: The Biopolymers Laboratory is a core
laboratory funded by the MIT Center for Cancer Research. The concept of
the Laboratory is to combine, in one location, expensive and
highly-automated instruments with the technical expertise needed to
operate and maintain them efficiently
- Biodegradable
Plastics: Biodegradable plastics made with plant-based materials
have been available for many years. Their high cost, however, has meant
they have never replaced traditional non-degradable plastics in the mass
market. A new Australian venture is producing affordable biodegradable
plastics that might change all that.
- Green Plastics:
The Home Page For Environment-Friendly Technology: information
source for biodegradable plastics made from renewable resources.
- Environment
Friendly Polymers: As an attempt to develop environmentally friendly
polymer hybrids, biodegradable thermoplastic starch (TPS)/clay nanocomposites
were prepared through melt intercalation method.
- No-stick
solutions: Environmentally friendly polymer peels on and off without
any residue.
- A
Biodegradable and Environmental Friendly Polymer for Residue Oil Flocsorb:
A new and simple method of removing residue oil from oily wastewaters.
- Studies Toward
Producing Eco-Friendly Plastics: Plastics have become a major factor
in modern life and the massive volume of plastics in use has a
significant effect on the environment. Major efforts are underway to
reduce the impact of plastics on the environment and to make
them more eco-friendly. Such efforts include the use of bio-materials
instead of nonrenewable resources such as petroleum for manufacturing
polymers. There are also studies which are aimed at reducing the impact
of discarded plastic products on air and water supplies, as well as on
flora, fauna, and landfills.
