U.S. Launches Process for Producing Plastics from Food Wastes

Scientists from the Hawaiian Islands in the United States have invented a new process that uses food waste to produce polymers. The plastic made from food waste introduced by the Hawaiian Institute of Natural Energy in the United States can be decomposed in nature and can be used to produce clean bags, disposable plastic appliances and even pharmaceutical capsules.

According to reports, scientists will dilute and crush the food waste into water and store it in a high-temperature sealed container. After a certain period of time, the anaerobic microorganisms in the pulp will multiply, decompose the organic substances in the container, and release large amounts of organic substances. acid. The scientists separated the organic acids from the slurry and placed them in special containers. Special containers allow organic acids to escape and the compounds remain in containers with microorganisms. Microorganisms digest the resulting compounds and synthesize them into larger polymer molecules.

Scientists pointed out that the obtained polymer (poly-β-hydroxybutyrate) is mainly composed of bacterial cultures and can acquire 20-25 kg of polymer per 100 kg of organic slurry. The properties of the polymer obtained are related to the material of the container. When siloxane is used in place of a resin having a different acid permeability, a hard polymer is produced by the bacterium.

Paper Soup Bucket Cup

The three advantages of leak-proof, oil-proof and waterproof paper soup cups can be summarized as follows:
1. Leak-proof performance:
Excellent leak-proof design ensures that the soup will not accidentally seep out, so that users do not have to worry about spills when enjoying the hot soup.
It may be related to the special coating or film inside the paper cup, such as a polyethylene film, which can effectively prevent liquid penetration.
2. Oil resistance:
Through nano coating or other technology treatment, the surface of the paper cup has oil resistance, so that the grease will not easily penetrate the paper cup, so as to keep the paper cup clean and beautiful.
This characteristic is especially important when containing oily food or oily soups, which can prevent oil stains from staining the user's hands or clothing.
3. Waterproof performance:
The waterproof design allows the paper cup to effectively block water, ensuring that the soup will not soak the outside environment or users.
Compared with wax or plastic coated paper cups, oil-proof and waterproof paper soup cups may be better in waterproof performance and can be used in a wider range of occasions.
These advantages make leak-proof, oil-proof, waterproof paper soup cups become a convenient, practical and environmentally friendly catering supplies, suitable for various occasions, such as fast food restaurants, coffee shops, offices and so on. At the same time, its excellent performance can also meet people's requirements for food packaging safety and hygiene.
