@ Polyglycerols for Bioplastics
In recent years, polyglycerols have emerged as key components in the production of eco-friendly and biodegradable bioplastics.
In this context, the need for sustainable solutions to reduce the environmental impact of conventional plastics has led to a growing search for innovative materials.
What are Polyglycerols?
Polyglycerols are polymers obtained from the polymerisation of glycerol, a natural by-product of the production of biodiesel and vegetable oils. Thanks to their versatile chemical structure and their renewable origin, polyglycerols find application in numerous sectors, including the food and cosmetics industries.
Furthermore, their most promising application is in the field of bioplastics, where they offer a viable alternative to petroleum-based derivatives.
Polyglycerols for Bioplastics: a winning combination
Bioplastics made with polyglycerols have characteristics that make them ideal for replacing traditional plastics:
- Biodegradability: Bioplastics based on polyglycerols naturally decompose, reducing the issue of plastic pollution.
- Renewability: Derived from plant and sustainable sources, they contribute to reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
- Safety and environmental compatibility: Being non-toxic and free of harmful components, they can be used in food packaging and medical products without health risks.
Industrial Applications: Polyglycerols for Bioplastics
The integration of polyglycerols for bioplastics is finding application in different sectors:
- Sustainable packaging: Biodegradable containers, packaging and films that reduce the environmental impact of single-use plastics.
- Agricultural sector: Biodegradable mulching films that avoid the accumulation of plastic residues in the soil.
