and reduces production costs by half without reducing the quality of the pellets (small beads of recycled plastic) by avoiding stages with severe changes in temperature.
However this type of plastic has the distinction of being hygroscopic (when it comes in contact with water it retains moisture at a molecular level)
which are responsible for cooling the plastic through contact with special walls and form the plastic beads the founder of the company explained.
The advantage of this technology is its ability to process any type of plastic such as styrofoam polystyrene PET and ABS;

#Producing biodegradable plastic just got cheaper, greener Biodegradable drinking cups or vegetable wrapping foil: the bioplastic known as polylactic acid (PLA) is already a part of our everyday lives.
And yet, PLA is considered not yet a full alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics, as it is costly to produce.
Researchers from the KU Leuven Centre for Surface Chemistry and Catalysis now present a way to make the PLA production process more simple and waste-free.
which in turn is a building block for polylactic acid. PLA degrades after a number of years in certain environments.
PLA is also one of the few plastics that are suitable for 3d printing. However, PLA is not yet a full alternative for petroleum-based plastics due to its cost.
The production process for PLA is expensive because of the intermediary steps.""First, lactic acid is fed into a reactor and converted into a type of pre-plastic under high temperature and in a vacuum,
"Professor Bert Sels explains.""This is an expensive process. The pre-plastic--a low-quality plastic--is broken then down into building blocks for PLA.
In other words, you are first producing an inferior plastic before you end up with a high-quality plastic.
And even though PLA is considered a green plastic, the various intermediary steps in the production process still require metals and produce waste."
"The KU Leuven researchers developed a new technique.""We have applied a petrochemical concept to biomass,
Of course, PLA will never fully replace petroleum-based plastics. For one thing, some objects, such as toilet drain pipes, are meant not to be biodegradable.
And it is not our intention to promote disposable plastic. But products made of PLA can now become cheaper and greener.
