Plant-Based Plastic Made from Sugarcane

[@dustingoldsworthy7303]

Key notes: Biodegradable plastic and bio plastic are 2 different things 100% recyclable is not 100% Biodegradable (oil based plastics are 100% recyclable) These are sugar cane based meaning they provide a base or additional ingredients.

[@brianbice1427]

You forget to mention, oil-based plastics are 100%recyclable but only a very small percentage is recycled and take anywhere from 250 - 1000 years to break down, while breaking down release a very dangerous gas, the particles after a breakdown are ingested by humans and animals without knowing that and are cancer-causing agents. Bioplastics break down within a year and are edible to humans animals and fish.

Wow i didn't expect tetrapack have a youtube channel and always seen tetrapack logo near the milk cap it is also a local asian milk btw..

A tip: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

@Ares Vincent yup, have been using Flixzone for since november myself :)

The presentation is very attractive. Now i have a question, how can you get bioplastic from vegetable fibers?

[@Sam-me5pl]

reacting the cellulose with other chemicals and forming a polymer

[@Ojthemighty]

@@Sam-me5pl that begs the question, what are the other chemicals?

[@danishbutter1847]

@@Sam-me5pl pretty much fish lines and viscose production

[@kikinoro6546]

So still packing with plastic that wont decompose => nothing solved when it comes to our plastic problem. Also, you guys say your packaging is recyclable, but the many different layers and materials make it so its not recycled by most places.

[@ziadayman7190]

Do you have a simple method for making a simple plastic prototype from bagase?? I need it for a college project

[@NickleJ]

The best part of Brazilian sugar cane is that it's produced by a hyper exploited workforce making it cheaper than American sugar cane. Otherwise I don't know why it's any better than good ol' Louisiana sugar cane.

[@WishingThePanda]

Does it biodegrade?

[@urikadawniwayan4423]

Simple method for this, high school student could make

[@hazwanhilmiazhar3319]

This concept is quite misleading. Yes it is bio-based. But the the main question here is whether it is biodegradable or not?

[@iaap654]

It doesn't in natural environment. Only in industrial environment that is special for BIOplastic (very high temperature over long period of time). Which means you must separate it from any other plastic. If so little as a spoon of petroleum plastic ends up in 1 tonne of bioplastic, the whole tonne will be waisted and not biodegrage.

[@chetnashekhawat1094]

@@iaap654 well in that case this isn't worth it🙆🙁

[@iaap654]

@@chetnashekhawat1094 exactly. But they sell it very well anyway: it's (kinda) "green" since you don't use oil to produce plastic. And they (of course) don't mention that it's not biodegradable. So people only get to see one side of the medal. And they think that the problem is solved.

Sounds good someone needs to get on sugarcane straws the paper ones are shit

are the plastics made from sugar cane biodegradable?

sorry but what type of plastic is this ??

[@techiefan1986]

This plastic works just as well as oil based plastic. Most 3d printers use it now, because it's safe for consumers to print it in their homes and strong.like ABS plastic.

[@bleepbloopskrrr]

PLA I think

[@Nalber3]

Polyethylene, making monomers out of ethanol is not to complicate

[@rezabadei3229]

@Tetra Pak USA & Canada: Does your plastic made out of sugarcane degrade in the ocean? And if so, how long does it take to degrade completely? and also if it degrades, is it harmful to the ocean habitat or not?

[@cristobalsiu902]

no it doesnt, you cant tell the difference between one and the other...

[@R.U.1.2.]

Why would we put it in the ocean? It is more likely it would be put in a landfill or recycled into another product.

[@neen.]

Hi there! I am a filmmaker currently putting together a mini-documentary about sugarcane burning in the Florida Glades. In it, I touch on the use of sugarcane as fuel and its use in the production of other products. I am reaching out because, with your permission, I'd like to use some of this footage in the film. If this is possible, please let me know the best email to reach you with more details and a release form. Thank you so much for your time and patience!

More greenwashing!

[@dustingoldsworthy7303]

This video is very cleaver at making you think its 100% plant based but its not! This is plant based not bio plastic. Properties or real bioplastics: Bio plastics don't require expensive recycling processes. Bio plastic degrade if dropped on the ground or composted (dont 100% rely on water, oxygen etc.)

[@ThinkBioplastic]

Good job on integrated plant-based plastics to your products! If you want to dig deeper in the matter, we made a series to give the full picture of the plastic problem, and present plant-based alternatives to conventional plastics. Check out Series 2 if you want to find out the difference between compostable and biodegradable, or why recycling isn't the silver bullet solution to our plastic problem! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6XYdpSDg52co5o

[@lad18800]

What about the water consumption of sugarcane? do you have a scientific justification of the ultimate biodegradation of your products? this video is a fairy tale

[@ceirwan]

Its literally explained in the video.

[@milkymeats]

@@ceirwan Where? Its not explained in the slightest. Hmmm. The weirdness gets weirder.

Hi Karthi, Are you from India? Looking for some alternate for plastic to keep envi pollution free and like to run small business? If yes, Kindly reply .
