Wuhan developed successfully plasticized starch biodegradable material

Recently, the China Environmental Protection Industry Association held a press conference on "Plastic Starch Biodegradable Material (PSM) and its products" in Beijing, announcing that Wuhan Gorgeous Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. successfully modified the starch and developed a starch content greater than 80. % PSM environmentally friendly materials, this important scientific and technological achievements to fill the gap in China's industrial production of biodegradable plastic starch material, causing widespread concern in the environmental packaging industry and chemical industry.

Previously, experts from the Chinese Environmental Protection Industry Association, which specially organized the Chinese Academy of Sciences and related universities, reviewed the company's achievements. Experts believe that Gorgeous company has successfully modified plastic starch and developed a plastic starch material with a starch content of more than 80% that is fully degraded in the environment. The performance meets the requirements for use and fills the gap of industrialized production of degradable starch material in China. Acquired national and world invention patents, with independent intellectual property rights.

PSM and its products have formed large-scale production capacity, good industrial foundation, stable production, and no pollution in the production process. The product is water-resistant, oil-resistant, heat-resistant, non-toxic and harmless, and meets the relevant national standards and technical requirements. Through the inspection of the National Center for Quality Inspection of Plastic Products, it has been awarded the title of “National Quality New Product” by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Technology Supervision, and the four ministries and commissions of the State Environmental Protection Administration.

PSM raw materials use renewable agricultural products to help save oil resources and protect the environment. They can be widely used in industrial packaging, disposable containers, restaurants, hotels, tourism, entertainment, toys and other fields. Experts recommend that relevant state departments and industry associations increase their support, accelerate the pace of industrialization, and accelerate the promotion of the production and application of this material.

At present, there are several research institutes and companies in China that undertake the task of researching fully biodegradable materials PHB type materials during the 8th, 9th, and 8th, and some even tried industrial production, but due to the There are no new breakthroughs in expression, hair alcohol control, and late extraction. The industrialization costs are still high.

The PSM successfully researched and developed by Wuhan Gorgeous Technology Environmental Protection Company is one of the national special projects for high-tech industrialization of biomass engineering. Plant starch, which is a natural high molecular compound, is generally considered not to be able to be independently produced as a material because of its inherent performance characteristics such as low wet strength in a water-containing state and fragility in a dehydrated state.

Wuhan Gorgeous Company breaks the existing structure chain of starch, rearranges and reorganizes it, realizes "completely modified" and "fully plasticized" starch, and better solves the compatibility of starch and biodegradable polymer resin. The problem has been to successfully convert starch from “products that cannot be independently produced as materials” into rigid, ductile, flexible, and elastic, thermoplastically processable, fully biodegradable high-molecular starch materials. PSM is a completely degradable environmental protection material that eventually enters the natural world in the form of small molecules under the action of microorganisms in nature, and its products can completely return to nature upon completion of the life cycle. PSM has many features such as "rich raw material resources, renewable resources, low production costs, good biodegradability, and its products waterproof, oil, temperature, non-toxic harmless."

Wuhan Huali Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. has formed a large-scale production capacity. Last year, it has achieved a production capacity of 10,000 tons, and is widely used in industrial packaging, disposable containers, restaurants, hotels, tourism, toys and other fields, in addition to being sold throughout the country, Also exported to South Korea, Thailand, Germany, Britain, Singapore, Australia, Malaysia and other countries.

This important achievement of Wuhan Huali Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. has succeeded in realizing the docking of starchy plants currently in common use with industrialized production, which is of great significance to the solution of the current “three rural issues” in China. The National Development and Reform Commission has made this biomass-based biodegradable polymer material and basic chemical material that replaces petroleum-based products as a major project for the development of the national 11th Five-Year Plan. The company was included in the national biomass. The project prospects will give priority to demonstrating industrial bases.
