The process of the invention for making a bioplastic product based on sunflower seed shells or hulls comprises providing or producing a compounded material, wherein the material is obtained by mixing sunflower seed shell or hull material with a biodegradable plastic, such as polybutylene succinate PBS, polybutylene succinate adipate PBSA, or the like, and the compounded material is preferably used in the production of the bioplastic product.
Biodegradable materials and biodegradable polymers are terms that have been around for a while. They comprise, but are not limited to, polybutylene succinate, a biodegradable bioplastic manufactured from succinic acid and butanediol, both of which are renewable resources.
Use of a polybutylene succinate, polybutylene succinate adipate, or similar biodegradable plastic compounded with sunflower husk material and sunflower husk material, respectively, in the production of biodegradable packaging, coffee capsules, tea capsules, containers, plant pots, urns, bite protection, cups, flower pots, foils, and other items.
The procedure described in claim 1 is characterised by the injection moulding of the compounded material to create containers, coffee capsules, tea capsules, packaging, plant pots, flower pots, foil, cups, and other items of a similar nature.
The preparation of the sunflower husk fibres just involves peeling the seed, crushing the shell material to the appropriate grain size, drying to a given moisture value, and DEALING to a certain oil / fat content.
This is because the sunflower husk surrounds the oily core of a sunflower seed. Using a grinding process, the fibre from sunflower husks is crushed to a size of no more than 3 millimetres, ideally between 0.01 and 1 millimetres, and even more preferably between 0.1 and 0.3 millimetres.
The Global Sunflower-based Plastics Packaging market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The cargill launched new material, S2PC® Sustainable Sunflower Plastic Compound Plastic, blends conventional polymers with a by-product of the manufacturing of sunflowers.
The end result is a high-quality plastic with numerous uses, including furniture and the packaging of food and beverages.
The plastic greatly reduces the environmental impact that these products have. S2PC plastic reduces the industry’s reliance on this fuel by 30% to 70%, depending on the application, because it contains less petroleum than conventional plastics. Given the product’s current performance and potential, Cargill and SPC changed the name to Golden Compound GmbH.
