The whole process of producing plastic products from corn is: First of all, the sugar in the corn is extracted, and the carbon, which is the base material for the production of plastics and fibers, is extracted through fermentation distillation, and then processed into a kind of polylactide (PLA). Diameter of only 4.57 mm in diameter. Finally, these small particles are pressed into bags, packaging plastics or cutlery.
Corn, one of the major agricultural products in the United States, has ample supply. It will not be a problem to extract 1 billion pounds (454 million tons) of polylactide annually in the next decade. This means that one-tenth of the U.S. corn production will be made into plastics and fibers. According to information recently disclosed by Taiwan Province of China, the number of plastic bags produced per ton of corn resin in Taiwan is now almost the same as that produced with plastic pellets. According to statistics from the Taiwanese plastics industry, about 100 million tons of plastic products are produced each year in the world, and 30 million tons of disposable packaging materials are used each year. Solving the pollution caused by these materials will cost a lot of social costs. If corn resin can successfully replace some of the packaging plastics, it is estimated that there will be a market worth US$10 billion annually.
Perhaps seeing the bright future of this new material, DuPont, the giant in chemical production, has also joined the ranks of developing corn plastics. The company’s research also received US$19 million in financial support from the US Department of Energy.
Although corn plastic is very environmentally friendly, it also has a high cost disadvantage. For example, the price of corn plastic plates produced by North American bio-company is about 5% higher than that of traditional plastic plates, and the price of cups is even higher by 25%. However, the company's president, Frederick Hill, believes that within five years, as the demand for corn plastics increases, the scale of production will expand and costs will drop.
Food science experts from the US Department of Agriculture recently announced that a new environmentally friendly food packaging material is expected to come out. This new type of environmentally friendly packaging material is completely made of crushed strawberries, so it is very environmentally friendly and may replace traditional polyethylene plastic film and become a new material for food packaging. This newly developed food packaging material is no different from the traditional product in terms of performance. The food packaging film made of it can also prevent the infiltration of oxygen, so as to achieve the effect of food preservation. Since the ingredients of this new material are mainly derived from vegetables and fruits that are not suitable for consumption, it is a material that can be naturally decomposed and meets the requirements of environmental protection. In the test, the packaging film made of this material can not only play a role in keeping fresh, but also can improve the taste of fruits such as bananas and apples.
Japan's Cargill Road Polymers has also succeeded in making packaging materials from natural plants such as corn or wheat. This packaging material is named "polylactide natural product" and can be used to make paper cups, candy wrappers, etc. It has good hand feeling, high elasticity and resistance to fouling. This material is extracted from natural crops such as corn or wheat crops to extract non-refined natural sugar dextrose, followed by fermentation of dextrose into lactic acid, and then lactate cold shrinkage into lactide material, Finally lactide is melted to form a long molecular chain of a polymer called polylactide. The use of polylactide polymers with such long molecular chains can not only produce packaging materials, but also have low cost, can be decomposed spontaneously under hot and humid conditions, and will not cause environmental pollution.
