Compostable Polymers (PBAT/PLA)
Types of Bio Compostable Polymers
Polylactic Acid (PLA)
- PLA is made from renewable resources such as corn starch, and it is commonly used in food packaging, disposable cutlery, and 3D printing
- PLA can break down into water and carbon dioxide in industrial composting facilities.
Poly (Butylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate) PBAT
- Poly(Butylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate) PBAT is a polymer that is used sometimes in combination with starch.
- Efforts are on to produce this polymer from renewable sourc- es. Bioplastics guide sees it as a substitute for LDPE and HDPE.
- It is used to make gar- bage bags, wrapping films, disposable packaging and tableware (Cups, Dishes etc.).
- It is not only biodegradable but also compostable.
Starch-Based Polymers
- Starch-based polymers are made from renewable resources such as corn, potato, and wheat starch.
- These materials are commonly used in food packaging and bags.
Cellulose-Based Polymers
- Cellulose-based polymers are made from renewable resources such as wood, cotton, and hemp.
- These materials can be used in applications such as textiles, paper, and pack- aging.
