Bioplastics: Resistance and Sustainability
To day, we are here to demonstrate the possibilities of our material, not only in the fashion sector but in the industry at large. Bioplastics are not inherently water or fire-resistant by nature. In fact, conventional bioplastics tend to be sensitive to moisture and degrade easily. For a bioplastic to be water-resistant or fire-retardant, it is necessary to modify its properties through the incorporation of reinforcements and specific chemical processes. In our case, we achieve this advanced performance without altering the essence or the sustainability goal of our product. 1. Water Resistance Most bioplastics are hydrophilic (they attract water), which causes them to swell or dissolve. To improve their resistance, we employ the following strategies: · Structural reinforcements: We incorporate plant-based nanomaterials that act as reinforcements, creating a dense and compac...
