Biodegradable Plastic Laminate

We wanted to do our bit to protect the planet and also help you reduce your plastic waste too.

Biodegradable plastic laminate.

Compostable plastic bags are a new generation of plastics which are biodegradable through composting. Biodegradable plastics are commonly produced with renewable raw materials micro organisms petrochemicals or combinations of all three. The new biodegradable laminate is compostable and disappears within two years without leaving impurities in the soil. Oxo biodegradable materials degrade by oxidation being stimulated by the chemical additives.

Either different types of plastics or metalized plastics are quite difficult to recycle. Oxo biodegradable plastic is different than the rest of biodegradable materials. A laminate that consists of multiple layers of different materials is difficult to separate. We ve developed cellogreen which is an over lamination film product based on cellulose diacetate and it s sustainable biodegradable and recyclable.

Environmental impact is now a top priority for many print buyers and with targets and policies more strict than ever before celloglas is proud to be. They are derived from renewable raw materials like starch for example corn potato sugar cane and so on cellulose soy protein lactic corrosive and so forth the bio plastics are not hazardous to produce and are intended to break down into carbon dioxide water biomass soil when. Recycling stations may often have to use different chemicals to separate the components. Laminates that are made of composite materials.

On 1st august 2018 we switched all of our matt and gloss laminated print to a new biodegradable laminate. Biodegradable plastics are plastics that can be decomposed by the action of living organisms usually microbes into water carbon dioxide and biomass. Biodegradable bags are made from additive based materials in order to hasten degradation upon exposure to certain conditions. Lamination is now environmentally friendly without losing any of its aesthetic appeal.

Our previous laminate was considered a contaminant when it comes to the recycling waste stream. Did you know lemoigne first discovered biodegradable plastic in 1925 but it was only introduced in 1980 s. Development of biodegradable whey based laminate functionalised by chitosan natural extract formulations may 2020 international journal of molecular sciences 21 3668 3668. While the words bioplastic and biodegradable plastic are similar they are not synonymous.

So we ve taken action.
