What is Cereplast biodegradable plastic? An alternative to petroleum based plastics, a compostable plastic that virtually replaces our current petroleum based plastic with renewable and highly available natural resources.
Biodegradable plastics have been around for a while now, all over the world, in countries like Germany, Netherlands and even Brazil, but what makes CEREPLASTTM so special?
Until now, very few companies have been able to produce a biodegradable plastic that turns quickly into compost and doing the same job our current plastics do.
Petroleum based plastics have come with numbers on the bottomto indicate which kind of plastic they are so that recycling plants can turn them into useful pellets for final product molding. But the process of recycling plastics has a limit, no more than six times.
Once the plastic reaches that dark smelly pitch-black look to it, it simply is useless to the industrialist. Useless plastic is a toxic material that can take in some cases between 200 or perhaps even 600 years upon speculation to return to the soil.
Cereplast biodegradable plastic on the other hand, takes no longer than 60 days. While traditional plastics are made from petroleum, Cereplast is made from corn and potato starches, both readily available materials all over the world on a yearly basis.
Cereplast has been in the food industry for some time, due to the exaggerated misuse of disposable plastic eating utensils. How many years has our society been simply throwing them into the trash after one meal? How many times has that trash found its way to the dump or worse in the river? How long has it been since we actually started to worry about such things?
Cereplast is a long overdue solution, and one that is both in tune with mother nature as well as our current needs for energy conservation. In the long term, Cereplast and other biodegradable plastics are the solution to spending less energy, by replenishing our soil with fertile composting materials, rather than destroying the ecosystems with harmful uncompostable plastics.
Over other companies that produce biodegradable plastics, Cereplast offers two major advantages, price and durability. Cereplast biodegradable plastic has top of the line pellets that can now do the same job that petroleum based plastics can do at a price that is competitive.
Now the question becomes, if an industry can buy something pollutant to do the job or something non-pollutant that will do the same job and at the same price, which one to buy?
The answer is simple and as the energy crisis dwells on, the demand for petroleum will only make Cereplast products cheaper by comparison.
