Biodegradable paper bags for liquids!!
INVENTOR: Sachin Gangadharan, GOA, INDIA
Biodegradable paper bags for liquids!! LaFabrica Craft, Goa offers biodegradable packaging solutions through innovative paper bags that prevent liquids from leaking and carry weights up to 20 kg. The liquid food items could be retained for about 46 hours before it starts leaking.
The biodegradable packaging is made with recycled paper pulp or enzymes drawn from cotton, wheat husk or other organic material. The paper is made mostly from carbon-neutral practices. The paper is shaped into a pouch by self-help groups and locals. For leak-proof packaging, the paper is layered with Poly Lactic Acid (PLA), which is a polymer mainly derived from corn or tapioca starch. Once used, the packaging could be put in a compost which allows it to biodegrade through an anaerobic process. They are working on using corn and bagasse products to replace PLA, which will ensure that packaging biodegrades naturally even without the need of composting. Great.
Join with me to congratulate Sachin Gangadharan and wish him all success.
