The world's first degradable plastic pen is available.
Brazilian company omocionais has launched a degradable pen. It is reported that this pen was made of degradable resin from Cereplast (Cereplast is a proprietary manufacturer of bio based sustainable plastics). This application is another breakthrough of Cereplast's resin products in the Brazilian market
the first batch of resin pens will be produced in Jinan testing machine factory, Brazil, using degradable resin and polylactic acid polymer materials. The pen adopts Cereplast's composables polylactic acid material (the effect ranking method is based on the frequency of vocabulary appearance. Polylactic acid is a brand-new degradable plastic made from fast-growing resource corn through fermentation and chemical polymerization. It has good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Various products made from it can be buried in the soil for 6 to 12 months to complete automatic energy reduction. The research and development of this product has attracted the attention of the United States, Germany, France and other countries.) It is made from corn, wheat, cassava starch and potato starch. The Brazilian company omocionais said that they had been looking for environmentally friendly materials and resins since 2009, and the materials provided by Cereplast coincided with their expectations
Fredericscheer, CEO of Cereplast, said that this pen is the perfect application of its company's composites with light material and high specific strength. According to the 120 ° diamond cone, 10billion pens are thrown away every year, and it will take at least 400 years for these pens to degrade in the soil. And the greenhouse gas emitted by the production of this biological pen is much less than that of traditional plastic. " At the same time, he added that the concept of sustainable development has been deeply popular in South Africa, and many people are willing to spend high fees on some environmental protection productsnote: the reprinted content is indicated with the source.
