Bio-Seperator

 

Biodegradable bioplastics, made from starch and vegetable peels, have minimal impact on the environment. They represent similar properties to plastic. Bioplastic mixtures allow the material to reveal different properties such as being soft, solid, rigid, fragile, sticky, liquid etc. by combining those different properties of a single composite material. Thus, new performances can be gained. In the study, series of material tests by physical models were undertaken to explore characteristics of different types of bioplastic mixtures. Further studies are undertaken towards integration of biodegradable bioplastics with form-finding and structural performance analysis.
