Environmentally Friendly Cellulose Polymer

Standard input materials currently used in the plastics industry have been almost completely petrochemical based. Companies are now seeking to substitute petroleum-based products, like plastics and polymers, with sustainable raw materials.

Nelson, New Zealand, November 07, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Standard input materials currently used in the plastics industry have been almost completely petrochemical based. However, this practice may soon be over as crude oil is getting scarce and corporate sustainability has emerged as a vital part of brand position. Companies are now seeking to substitute petroleum-based products, like plastics and polymers, with sustainable raw materials.

Tawaho Management Limited, a sustainable market development company, in collaboration with American based New Composite Partners, has recently announced the availability of a new exciting product to replace conventional petroleum based plastic resins for manufacturing, StrataPlast C™!

Carbohydrates can serve as a suitable replacement for petroleum used to make plastics. Carbohydrates are sugars and starches, which provide energy for humans and animals, and cellulose which make up many plant structures. One option for obtaining carbohydrates is to use biomass as a source as it mainly consists of cellulose. All plant materials contain a minimum of 25 percent cellulose with wood from trees a little higher, containing between 40 and 50 percent cellulose.

Tawaho Management Limited has access to a patented, revolutionary process which breaks down biomass into its primary components including commercial grade cellulose. The process can utilize any vegetation as its source including such things as waste wood to waste from commercial crop production. All of which can be used to produce 100% biodegradable plastics and composites. The extracted cellulose serves as a raw material for biosynthesis. Once broken down into basic components, we can then produce the necessary monomers from this to create plastic.

Derived from this processed cellulose, StrataPlast C™ plastics can be as durable and functional as traditional plastics, with the added advantage of lightening and strengthening the material, while still being environmentally friendly.

Environmental Impact

Environmentalists believe that the recycling and disposal of plastic waste is one of the greatest challenges facing industrialized countries today. StrataPlast C™ plastics can have a tremendous favorable impact on the environment. StrataPlast C™ is made from a renewable, natural resources. Whereas traditional plastics made from petroleum are said to take more than 100 years to degrade, StrataPlast C™ plastics can break down in a few weeks or even a few days. Furthermore, StrataPlast C™ is made from natural resources, when it degrades in the soil it returns certain nutrients back to the earth.

The environmental benefits of using StrataPlast C™ plastics include:

· Reduced generation of solid waste
· Derived from renewable sources
· Safely biodegrades, the degradation by-products are non-toxic

Variety of Advantages

Plastic consumers have compelling strategic and economic reasons to replace non-degradable conventional plastic products with biodegradable and compostable plastics made from StrataPlast C™ resins. Despite its innovative nature, StrataPlast C™ plastic products can be manufactured using standard types of equipment common to the plastics industry. This means a modest capital investment is required for manufacturers to bring the technology in-house.

StrataPlast C™ is currently “Made in America” from a line of products offered by New Composite Partners.
