Preparation method: At present, common bio-based materials are bio-polymer materials or monomers obtained from renewable biomass such as grains, legumes, straw, bamboo and wood powder through biotransformation, and then further polymerized to form environmentally friendly chemical products and Green energy and other polymer materials, such as biogas, fuel ethanol, biodiesel and bioplastics. In addition, bio-based materials can also be produced and obtained through biological systems designed or modified by bio-manufacturing, bio-synthesis methods, etc., such as starch-based plastic materials and products, wood-plastic materials, bamboo-plastic materials, etc.
Advantages: It has the characteristics of renewable raw materials, reducing carbon emissions, saving energy, etc., and some categories also have good biodegradability. It is an important direction for the development of the international new material industry. Growth highlights.
application:
1. Samsung Electronics
Samsung’s products use green packaging as much as possible, and change the yellow cardboard box to bamboo plastic material. Bamboo plastic material is based on mushrooms, starch, straw, bamboo, etc. It is a sustainable packaging material that allows 100% composting of waste, allowing consumers to use the dot-matrix design and construction instruction manual on the packaging , turn the product packaging box into various household items, so as to realize the reuse of packaging.
2. Huawei
The use of environmentally friendly materials such as bio-based plastics with a castor oil content of more than 30% can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 62.6% compared to conventional plastics. Since 2013, Huawei has gradually adopted bio-based plastics that are more environmentally friendly than traditional plastics in terminal products, such as P series, Mate series mobile phones and Huawei watches, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 62.6%.
3. Coca-Cola
In February 2022, The Coca-Cola Company launched its first plastic bottle made of 100% plant-based plastic, marking an important breakthrough in the company’s sustainable packaging development. It is understood that Coca-Cola’s technical level has met the mass production standards, and has limited production of about 900 plastic bottles made of this raw material.
4. Golden Code
The first “plant-based dream cap” in China came out last year. The original plastic bottle cap was replaced with plant raw materials, and the extraction method was replaced by the original mineral extraction with pure plant (sugar cane) extraction, which not only reduced the waste of petroleum resources, Furthermore, carbon emissions are further reduced. The first “0 aluminum foil low-carbon aseptic paper-based composite packaging” replaces the aluminum foil with a new barrier layer. The new packaging material structure has been patented, which can better protect the milk inside than aluminum foil. In terms of oxygen and water barrier, it is even better. This kind of packaging is easier to recycle than the old one. The steps are not complicated at all. After the shell is decomposed to a certain extent, it can be directly converted into water and oxygen, and the damage to the environment is close to zero, which greatly reduces the frequency of carbon footprints.
