335 Material science Biological Plastics Biological plastics are plastics from grown raw materials as well as biodegradable plastics. The main material for organic based plastics are cellulose and starch. The plastics are produced from corn, wheat, potatoes as well as cotton. These plastics, in contrast to that conventional plastics such as polypropylen, polystyrene, polyethylen etc., are biodegradable. Usages include packaging foil, disposable dishes and cutlery, as well as bottles. Recycling Material Recycling material consists of plastic refuse that occurs in production as well as through regular refuse circulation. These plastics are gathered by sort and ground in to granulate. Depending on the technical characteristics of the base material, certain products can be produced with recycling material. Ocean Plastic Every year, approximately 8 million tons of plastic waste are disposed off into the oceans of this world. This has consequences for our waters and their inhabitants. In order to counteract the huge amounts of waste, the durable material is collected by hand along the beaches or with special ships, then it is ground and reprocessed to recycled plastic material. This allows to produce new products that require only a small percentage of new raw materials. Using the so-called „Ocean Plastics“ saves resources and reduces environmental impact.
