Eco-friendly cushioning material derived from corn starch, with a biomass content of 60%.
Using materials that are cheaper compared to conventional bioplastics and can reduce CO2 emissions during combustion by about 20% compared to plastic (PP).
Four Strengths - Functionality equivalent to petroleum-based plastics - Low cost - High biomass content (60%) - 20% reduction in CO2 emissions [Functionality equivalent to petroleum-based plastics] It has moldability, convenience, strength, and quality comparable to petroleum-derived plastics, providing similar functionality. [Low cost] In terms of cost, it is about 1.5 times that of plastic (PP), making it cheaper than bioplastics. [High biomass content (60%)] With a biomass content of 60%, it reduces the use of finite resources from petroleum-derived plastics by 60%, marking a first step towards environmental measures and reducing plastic usage. [CO2 emissions reduction effect] In Japan, waste disposal is mainly through incineration, including plastics. Incineration results in CO2 emissions, which are a significant environmental issue. This cushioning material reduces CO2 emissions during combustion by about 20% compared to plastic (PP), as verified by CERI (Chemical Evaluation and Research Institute). This is not just a theoretical concept of carbon neutrality; the actual reduction effect has been recognized.
