Advantages of bioplastic
products from corn starch

Cornstarch is a renewable resource because it comes from corn, a crop that can be grown annually. This differs from traditional plastics made from fossil fuels, which are finite and non-renewable.

Bioplastics made from corn starch are often biodegradable. This means that it can be broken down by microorganisms into natural substances such as water, carbon dioxide and biomass, which reduces the amount of long-lived plastic waste in the environment.

The production of corn-based bioplastics tends to have a lower carbon footprint compared to the production of traditional plastics. This is because the plants used to produce cornstarch absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during their growth, helping to offset the emissions generated during production. – Lower carbon dioxide emissions

Many bioplastics made from cornstarch are industrially compostable, meaning they can be broken down into usable compost within a reasonable time frame under controlled conditions. This helps reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and improves soil quality by returning nutrients to the soil.

By using corn starch instead of petrochemical products, we reduce dependence on fossil fuels. This helps to conserve these resources and reduce the environmental problems associated with their extraction and use, such as oil spills and air pollution.

More and more consumers and companies are looking for environmentally friendly alternatives due to increased awareness of plastic pollution. In addition, stricter regulations are being introduced around the use of traditional plastics, which is driving the demand for bioplastics.

By using bioplastics made from corn starch, we can thus benefit from a range of ecological and economic benefits, which contributes to a more sustainable and responsible use of resources.
