Researchers analyzed the food processing industry and selected waste from the juice and oil industries as additives for polyethylene. After a year and a half of research and development, this biodegradable plastic was developed. Re melt the polyethylene with added fruit residue, sunflower seed residue, and starch at a temperature of 160 ℃ to prepare the raw material. Afterwards, plastic industry production standard equipment is used to blow bags and roll them, and bags are cut and sealed according to the user's specifications. Due to the addition of natural ingredients, this packaging bag has a unique fragrance.

Mechanical tests have shown that this material is very strong, and large garbage bags made of this material can carry 70 kilograms without deformation. After being stored for 8 months, the material becomes brittle and can be crushed by hand, while ordinary polyethylene materials take more than 300 years to degrade. The researchers have applied for a patent for this technology and have obtained 5 invention patents.

In addition to providing property management companies in Moscow for use as lining bags for garbage bins, the producer has also signed supply agreements with companies in Finland, Germany, and Israel, and is currently processing product certification. It is expected to obtain the corresponding national quality certification by the end of the year.

On this basis, producers are also preparing to produce biodegradable trays, and the corresponding raw material production technology has been developed, with a natural composition of 99%. The only existing problem now is production cost. For consumers, plastic bags and trays produced using this raw material are more expensive than ordinary polyethylene products.
