Bioplastics International launches world’s first sugar cane alcohol water soluble PVA

In Arizona, our oceans have become the world’s largest landfill, accumulating more than 13 million tons of plastic annually, according to Bioplastics International, an Arizona-based producer of the world’s first sugar cane alcohol water soluble PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) as well as many bio resins from plant starches. In an attempt to curb the overwhelming plastic pollution of our oceans, Bioplastics International has launched a fossil fuel free water soluble replacement for petroleum based plastics.

The water-soluble, net zero carbon dioxide polymer can be mass produced in vast quantities and can be used for blown films, extrusion, or injection molding processes, virtually any product can be made from the company’s sugar cane PVA. It is stronger and more durable than petroleum based plastic. Its current capacity is 180 tons per month, however this can be increased if needed.
