When was Solegear Bioplastics created?
Solegear Bioplastics was created in 2006.
Benefits of bioplastics?
bioplastics give the advantage of becoming a fertiliser and a useful material in our everyday lives. Though it is not as durable as the common plastics it gives less carbon dioxide emmissions and consumption of fossil.
Why products such as disposable forks made from bioplastics could be better for the environment?

How are biodegradable plastic made?
There are two types of biodegradable plastics: bioplastics and plastics made from petrochemicals. Bioplastics are made from renewable resources, like vegetable fats and oils, vegetable starch, or microbiota. Plastics made from petrochemicals are made by combining biodegradable additives which enhance biodegradation.
What plastics are derived from crude oil?
Most are- but bioplastics exist. Very interesting development as we won't have oil forever. See link.
What are alternatives to producing non-biodegradable polymers?
Bioplastics is been recently introduced so as to reduce the use of the traditional non biodegradable plastics.It is biodegradabale polymers
What materials are being used to make bioplastics?
Bioplastics are not a new concept. Henry Ford used soybeans to make a bioplastic body for a car in 1941, and celluloid plastic was manufactured from camphor and acid-dipped cotton almost 80 years earlier. Polylactic acid (PLA) plastics, made from corn, were created from a collaboration in 2000 between Cargill, Inc. and Dow Chemical. Cargill went on to partner with Teijin Ltd., a Japanese plastics manufacturer, to produce corn plastics under the name NatureWorks LLC.
Which products made from shrimp shell?
Commercial plastics are often not recyclable, so approximately 20 years ago the Harvard Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering went looking for a different bioplastic base. The institute began making bioplastics from shrimp shells which contain chitin.
WHAT IS Genuine Diamond Bioplast?
Bioplastics are a form of plastics deriving from hemp oil, soy bean oil and corn starch rather than traditional plastics which are derived from petroleum. Bioplast is a biopolymer material which can be used in the same way as traditional synthetic plastics. It is used in jewelry as a rod in body piercings.
What are the pharmaceutical uses of starch?
Starch is used in common copy paper and food products such as Jelly Beans and Wine Gums. But here are some other uses:Drop ceiling tilesPackaging peanutsGluesBook bindingWallpaper pasteMany bioplastics
Are all plastics petrochemicals?
No, not all plastics are petrochemicals. A few examples of bioplastics (plastics made from biologic sources) include Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Polylactic Acids and a wider variety of starch based plastics.
Is plastic renewable or nonrenewable?
This is somewhat more complicated than it might seem. First as most plastics are produced from petroleum or natural gas, which are nonrenewable resources, the plastics are nonrenewable. Second thermoplastics can be melted and recycled, but this is not true of thermoset plastics. But being recyclable does not make thermoplastics renewable.Only bioplastics (from living things, e.g. vegetable oils) are renewable, because their source chemicals can be grown.
