The new plastic is made from plant materials, so the decomposition process is very fast compared to conventional plastic made from hydrocarbons. Help save production costs by making use of avocado seeds... Lets Plastic water tank explore the article MEXICO successfully made plastic beads from this avocado.
MEXICO successfully made plastic beads from avocados, Mexican Council of Science and Technology
MEXICO has successfully made plastic beads from avocados, said that it had just issued a certificate of bioplastic by Mr. Scott Munguia, a student at the Universidad Tecnológico de Monterrey in the city of Monterrey, the capital of the state of Nuevo León, northeastern Mexico in the morning. successful regime.

The new type of plastic, made from plant materials, degrades very quickly compared to conventional plastic made from hydrocarbons. Therefore, the eco-friendly nature of this bioplastic is highly appreciated. In addition, it also helps to save production costs by using the seeds of avocados that people often throw away.
Munguias idea came from an article that mentioned the production of chemicals from nuts. Selecting an available fruit with extremely rich local production (Mexico is the leading avocado producer and exporter in the world with production accounting for more than 30% of total global avocado production), Munguia decided to intend to experiment with avocado seeds. After 6 months of research based on the principle of producing bioplastics from corn, one of the main human grains, he has come up with a new type of plastic.
Mr. Munguia said this new type of plastic has no impact on the environment because it takes 240 days to decompose after use, or maybe longer depending on the amount of bacteria in the environment. Meanwhile, ordinary plastic takes half a century to decompose on its own.
The environmental impact of using plastic is one of the growing challenges facing scientists. According to the latest data of the European Plastics Association (Plastics Europe), by the end of 2013, worldwide plastic production has reached 229 million tons. As for Mexico, it is expected that by 2020, the countrys plastic industry will grow by 15% per year, which means that the countrys plastic production will increase by nearly 11 million tons per year.
Meanwhile, Scott Munguia has no intention of stopping. He continues to research to find new useful products for life, including the idea of inventing bio-bricks to build ecological houses for everyone.
Bioplastics MEXICO successfully made plastic beads from avocados
MEXICO has successfully manufactured plastic beads from avocados, ie bioplastics, also known as Bioplastics, which are products made from materials of natural origin such as: corn starch, cassava, potatoes, and fats from foods. objects, straw, wood chips, etc. When they decompose, they will become CO2, humus, and H20 in a much shorter time than traditional plastic. Bioplastics also have strict health standards, so users do not need to worry about health problems when using products made from biodegradable plastic.

The birth of bioplastics is to meet the worlds demand for environmentally friendly products and the trend of eliminating plastic products and plastic bags. This is inevitable because plastic waste is having a negative impact on human life and the Earth, and traditional plastic has a very long decomposition time, averaging 100-1000 years. Therefore, the study of natural materials and the application of bioplastics to life is a very necessary solution to protect "mother earth".
