Biochemists at the Hawaiian Institute of Natural Energy have made food waste a biodegradable polymer that researchers have humorously called "perfect plastic."
This type of polymer plastic, which can be degraded in a short time, is widely used and can be used not only to make packages such as bottles and bags, but also to make capsules for medicines. This new technology not only solves the problem of food waste, but also provides a new way to solve the “white pollution†caused by plastic packaging.
The new biodegradable plastic raw material developed this time is a mixture of water and various food wastes, and can produce 22-25 kg of degradable plastics per 100 kg of mixture. This not only greatly reduces the production cost, but also finds a good “home†for a large number of food wastes that “have no place to hideâ€.
At present, many foreign waste treatment companies hope to use this technology instead of landfill technology to reuse food waste in schools and company restaurants.
