Japan’s Green Science Alliance produces biodegradable plastic from waste paper

In Japan, Green Science Alliance Co., Ltd. has developed 100% bio-based biodegradable plastic with recycled paper, paper waste, newspaper scrap, etc. The company has also developed starch based biodegradable plastic with 100% bio-based materials but this time, Green Science Alliance Co., Ltd has succeeded in using recycled material.

On top of that, Green Science Alliance already had nano cellulose composite technology with various types of plastic including biodegradable plastic so that they can increase mechanical.

The company will start small sample production and at the same time, keep improving plastic properties such as mechanical strength, heat durability and dimensional stability. In addition, they will attempt to make cutlery with this paper-based material, with their company own brand “Nano Sakura.”
