New generation of the polymeric packaging materials susceptible to organic recycling
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 8
Abstract
Among biodegradable polyesters, aliphatic biopolyesters (polyhydroxyalkanoates, PHAs) are polymer materials of natural origin with broad scope of application. PHAs are typical thermoplasts, which conquer our everyday life as disposable packaging materials, but which also have strong position among materials used for medical applications. These materials are of renewable (non fossil) source, and after finished lifetime they undergo organic recycling. Alternatively to composting, poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) can also be recycled to valuable resources using relatively simple methods. This article, in a perspective of recently carried out comprehensive research of new generation packaging materials made of organically recyclable polymers, presents possibilities of application of PHA and their synthetic analogs in that scope.
