"EcoStarch" is a biomass plastic material that contains 70% corn-derived starch. The variety of corn used as raw material is dent corn, which is low in fat and protein and not suitable for food use. The starch derived from dent corn is widely used in industrial applications, primarily as a binder for pulp and as adhesive. It can be used for a wide range of applications, from food containers to parts trays, and has a proven track record in items such as deli trays and confectionery trays. [Environmental Advantages] - 75% reduction in CO2 emissions during combustion - 70% carbon neutral during manufacturing - Exempt from container recycling laws - Biomass mark can be used *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Biomass plastics have a significant global benefit in terms of "reducing greenhouse gas emissions." However, individual users often find it difficult to perceive this benefit, and there are aspects that make them less convenient compared to conventional petroleum-based plastics. Although technological advancements have made them cheaper, it is not uncommon for the material costs to be more than double that of petroleum-based plastics. For sheets primarily made of polylactic acid, the heat resistance limit is 60 degrees, which means they are not suitable for microwave use, and there are restrictions on the usage environment. Our company, which primarily deals with small and medium-sized food manufacturers, has been looking to overcome this current situation. The biomass plastic "Eco-Starch" can resolve these disadvantages. **Main Disadvantages of Biomass Plastics:** - High material costs - Occurrence of material lots - Vulnerability to temperature changes *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

Biomass refers to "renewable biological resources derived from living organisms, excluding fossil resources." It is classified into three categories: waste-based, unused biomass, and resource crops, which are utilized in various contexts as energy resources or raw materials for products. The CO2 generated during the use of biomass fuels or the disposal of biomass products is absorbed from the atmosphere through photosynthesis during the growth of living organisms. By substituting fossil resource-derived energy and products with biomass, we can significantly contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases. Plastics that contain all or part of polylactic acid or starch extracted from resource crops are commonly referred to as "biomass plastics." 【Three Categories】 ■ Waste-based (discarded paper, livestock manure, food waste, sewage sludge, etc.) ■ Unused biomass (rice straw, husks, etc.) ■ Resource crops (sugarcane, corn, etc.) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Trays made using vacuum forming use plastic sheets as raw materials. There are various colors and properties of plastics, which can be selected according to their applications, purposes, and usage environments. Our company can provide sheets with additional features such as "foam sheets," "biodegradable sheets," and anti-static properties upon customer request. Depending on the sheet, there may be material lot variations. Please contact us for more details. 【Main Characteristics of Sheet Materials】 ■ PS (Polystyrene) - Easy to mold, cost-effective to manufacture, rigid and resistant to deformation. ■ PP (Polypropylene) - Resistant to cracking, has shock absorption properties, and is resistant to cold and heat. ■ PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) - High transparency, more resistant to cracking than PS and easier to mold than PP. ■ PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) - High transparency and easy to mold. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

At Asahi Kasei, we have achieved precision and durability in wooden mold vacuum forming through years of research. By using artificial wood (MDF) and applying our unique processing techniques, we have significantly improved durability. It is possible to produce units in the range of one million with a single mold creation. Along with durability, precision has also improved, and the mold excavation program uses a CAD/CAM system, just like metal molds. Through excavation with an NC router machine, we have achieved product precision comparable to that of metal molds. The mold tolerance is only 0.05mm. The cost is approximately one-third that of metal mold costs, making our wooden molds highly advantageous in terms of cost compared to metal molds. 【Features】 ■ Achieves precision and durability ■ Uses artificial wood (MDF) ■ Significantly improved durability through unique processing ■ Capable of producing units in the range of one million with a single mold creation ■ Mold tolerance is only 0.05mm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Plastic trays and blisters, which have advantages as packaging materials in terms of storage capacity and usability, are mostly made using a method called vacuum forming. "Vacuum forming" is a method that uses vacuum to suck and adhere thin plastic sheets to a mold to shape the product, as the name suggests. Since the mold itself does not require complex mechanisms, it incurs lower initial costs compared to methods like injection molding, allowing for production in a short period. Our company, which provides packaging materials, trays, and blisters, conducts mass production of vacuum-formed products using wooden molds. [Features] - A method that uses vacuum to suck and adhere thin plastic sheets to a mold to shape the product - Does not require complex mechanisms for the mold itself - Low initial costs and the ability to produce in a short period *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

There are several methods for molding plastic, including injection molding, blow molding, and vacuum forming. "Vacuum forming" is one of these methods and is widely used in the manufacturing process of food trays and industrial product trays. First, a thin sheet of resin (plastic) is heated to soften it, then the air between the sheet and a mold (which has a convex or concave shape) is removed to create a vacuum state and adhere the sheet to the mold. Finally, the resin is cooled, and when removed from the mold, a product with the same shape as the mold is completed. Ninety-nine percent of vacuum forming manufacturers use molds made of aluminum or resin, but our company has achieved mass production using wooden molds. 【Process of Vacuum Forming】 ■ Heat a thin sheet of resin (plastic) ■ Remove the air between the sheet and the mold to create a vacuum state and adhere ■ Cool the resin and remove it from the mold *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
