Biodegradable Plastics

For Food Packaging

BIODE make Any Plastic Biodegradable

Non degradable plastics a hazard to ecology and is unsustainable

National Green Tribunal : What about the 70% of plastic waste

Ministry of Environment Plastic Waste Management, 2016:

Multilayered Plastic to be phased out or made recyclable within 2 years !

Himachal Pradesh High Court: Use Biodegradable Plastic Food Packaging::

By volume , more than 30% of municipal waste generated is plastic

Soon,

we will HAVE to shift to the GREEN too…

Biodegradable Plastics

Why Plastics?

➢ No chlorine or peroxide used, unlike recycled paper

➢ Less energy and almost no water during production

➢ Flexible ,strong, recyclable, any shape

➢ Package anything, unlike jute or paper

➢ Wide range of applications from bags to rockets

Why Biodegradable Plastics

➢Non degradable plastics :30% of total waste by

volume in landfill

➢Degrades in only few months to few years

➢Environment friendly and does not pollute surface

and underground water

➢Degrades better than other degradable plastics

(see Value Canvas)

➢ Keeping ahead of Govt’s regulations and Court orders

➢Making Profits

Biodegradables

✓ Unlimited shelf life, Food grade,

✓ Non Hazardous, no heavy metals or toxins

✓ Certified by CIPET and FDA on food grade

✓ The only Biodegradable in India, which degrades under landfill conditions

also

✓ Tested and certified under international standards (ASTM 5511, ISO15985 )

✓ Brands you Green and sustainable with a modestly higher cost

✓ MoEF’s 2011, MoEF 2016 Notification: charge for bags ; Revenue

Why Sustainability as Strategy/Soul: End

Consumers

Time Magazine, in its September 21, 2009, cover

story, describes it as a trend to “enlightened self interest”.

6 in 10 have bought organic products since January 2009;

82% consciously supporting local or neighbourhood businesses;

Ethical investment funds up from 55 to 260 since 1995 (US$2.7 trillion, 11% of all financial market investments);

78% would pay US$2000 more to get a car that goes 35 mpg over a 25mpg car.

Why Sustainability as Strategy/Soul : Exports

Sustainability considerations are expectations, not options, in many of our major markets (USA, Japan, Europe)

As living standards rise we can expect consumers in other markets to see these as requirements, not unaffordable aspirations

If we’re serious about exporting we need to be serious about making our products more sustainable Source: NZ Business Council for sustainable development

Factors of Diffrentiation

Vasudha’s BioD/Ecopure Current Value Curve

Comparison of different degradable plastics

Comparison of Characteristics of Ecopure Biodegradable, Oxo additive and PLA/PHA Bioplastics

Value Element Ecopure Biodegradable Oxodegradable

Applicability to all polymers Almost all ( except Nylon 6,6 ) mainly Olefin group

Landfill Biodegradability (

Anaerobic )

Very High biodegradability wet landfills, High in dry landfill No "biodegradability", Fragmentable

Time period of biodegradability 1-4 years Not biodegradable; fragments in max1 yr

Regulatory Compliance High as mimics natural conditions Banned by Dept of Environment, UK*

Food Grade Yes High probability of Heavy Metals migration

Shelf life Unlimited ( same as Non Degradable Polymer products) 3-4 Months ( Breakage begins )

Production/process changes

required

None Almost none

Recyclability High Very Low

Strength & Flexibility High for all polymers Low; dependent on time

Heavy Metals None Heavy metals ( Ref DEFRA, UK )

Cost Cost Effective Cost Effective

Value & Customer Satisfaction High Very Low

Comparison of different degradable plastics

Note: Oxo-Degradable has been banned by European Parliament and European Bioplastics Association a “non degradable” under specific and rigorous standards

Comparison of Characteristics of Ecopure Biodegradable, Oxo additive and PLA/PHA Bioplastics

Value Element Ecopure Biodegradable PLA & PHA ( Starch Bioplastic )

Applicability to all polymers Almost all ( except Nylon 6,6 ) mainly olefin group

Landfill Biodegradability (

Anaerobic )

Very High biodegradability wet landfills, High in dry landfill Low in landfill, high in Aerobic

Time period of biodegradability 1-4 years Aerobic (0.5Yr-2 Yrs ), Anaerobic 2-4 yrs )

Regulatory Compliance High as mimics natural conditions High as mimics nature

Food Grade Yes Yes

Shelf life Unlimited ( same as Non Degradable Polymer products) Very Low ( 4-6 months )

Production/process changes

required

None Processes disrupted, Production might change

Recyclability High None

Strength & Flexibility High for all polymers Very Low, Dependent of time

Heavy Metals None None

Cost Cost Effective Expensive ( 2-5 times Ecopure & Oxo)

Value & Customer Satisfaction High Low

Toxicity Test - Seed Germination

Significant differences (% of seed germination and root/shoot

growth) were not observed between results obtained from the test

and those obtained from the control, therefore, the residuals are

considered to be Non-Toxic. [ OECD # 208 ]

Control ----------------------Treatments --------------------

Earthworm Acute Toxicity Test

◼ An earthworm acute toxicity test was conducted in which,

organisms are exposed to high concentrations of a test

substance for short periods of time.

◼ The toxicity test for 14 days used was a European test (OECD

Guidelines #207). The results of this test indicate that when

biodegradable plastic residue is added to soil, acute mortality

is NOT evident

Claims & Guidelines: FTC
