In one of my earlier posts, I had mentioned "Green Plastics". Till that time it truely appeared to be an oximoron to me. I did some more scavenging on this and found that there are organizations who are working on this for a while now. One such company is Nature Tec. This is an extract from their website: www.natur-tec.com.
HOW IT WORKS?
Natur-Tec® biopolymer resins are produced using NTIC’s proprietary ReX Process. In this process, biodegradable polymers, natural polymers, organic and inorganic materials are reactively blended in the presence of proprietary compatibilizers and polymer modifiers to produce biobased/biodegradable polymer resin formulations that exhibit unique and stable morphology.Natur-Tec® biopolymer resins are engineered for high performance, ease of processing, reduced cost and can easily be processedby converters using conventional manufacturing processes and equipment.Natur-Tec® biopolymer resins are available in several grades tailored for a variety of applications such as film extrusion, extrusion coating, injection molding and rigid, engineered plastics.
