Detailed Project Report on water bottle plant with packaging from bio-degradable material made from sugarcane baggase/rice husk etc.

WATER BOTTLE PLANT WITH PACKAGING FROM BIO-DEGRADABLE MATERIAL MADE FROM SUGARCANE BAGGASE/RICE HUSK ETC. [3661]

Biodegradable Bottle is a new alternative to environmentally-unfriendly one-use plastic bottles - made from a plant-based, fully biodegradable and recyclable bioplastic. Is the age of the plastic water bottle coming to an end? Not if predictions are anything to go by. One million plastic bottles are sold around the globe every single minute. And annual consumption is set to top half a trillion by 2021. But there are several initiatives that are taking steps - however small - in the right direction. Like Berlin and Bristol's free tap water initiatives, the Liter of Light invention which turns used plastic bottles into solar lightbulbs, and even futuristic water "blobs" that are made out of seaweed and completely edible. Vegan Bottle is a 100% biodegradable bottle made from sugar cane manufactured by a French packaging company, Lyspackaging. Nicolas Moufflet, the engineer behind this project and president of the company, has spent several years developing the technology needed to create a plastic bottle - where every single component, including the lid and the label, are biodegradable. His solution combines sugar cane bagasse (the fibre/pulp that remains after extracting the sugar cane juice) with other plant-based products (the exact patented formula is secret) to produce the material that is also suitable not just for holding water, but also other liquids too - including oil, beer or even perfume. A well-known contemporary art centre in Paris, the Palais de Tokyo, has already requested 100,000 VeganBottles. And Lyspackaging - that currently produces primarily traditional plastic bottles - is planning to move half of its production to the biodegradable alternative, aiming to reach 80% of production by 2020. Biodegradable disposable flatware and utensils manufactured from wood-based or plant-based raw materials, including materials that may be traditionally discarded such as sawdust, plant stalks, seed or grain hulls or the like. The process includes the use of a resin made from the discarded materials to form disposable utensils and flatware. Today consumption of Disposable products is breaking records. Disposable products are easy to handle, economical and can be disposed easily. With the changing lifestyle of Mankind, the use of disposable products is raising like anything. Plastic Disposable products are very popular because it can be carried easily and very low in prices too. The products include food containers and tableware – like plates, bowls, meal trays and cups – which decompose within 30-60 days after being discarded. The company sources processed bagasse from other organizations. This material is then moulded, dried, heated, and given other final touches. Heat-induced pressing during the manufacturing process gives structural strength to the cutlery. Additionally, the inter-fibre bonding makes the products water and oil resistant. It is a completely natural process and involves no binders, additives, coatings or chemical residues, resulting in a nontoxic, harmless and healthy alternative to plastic. The cutlery also does not impart colour, odour or taste to food. The products are microwave-safe and have an estimated shelf life of two years. Users cannot wash the tableware or containers after use; they have to be discarded.
