We are producing Bioplastic from Spirulina dregs. When we extract some of useful materials
from Spirulina microalgae, a large volume of Spirulina dregs are producing as a byproduct.
By our newly developed method, we are producing bioplastics (biodegradable plastics) with
Spirulina dregs.
We are not supporting to produce bioplastics with foods. We have to produce bioplastics with
other waste products and non-foods.
Bioplastics (also called organic plastics) are a form of plastics derived from renewable biomass
sources, such as microalgae, vegetable oil, corn starch, pea starch or microbiota , rather than
fossil fuel plastics which are derived from petroleum.
Because of their biological biodegradability, the use of bioplastics is especially popular for
disposable items, such as packaging and catering items (crockery, cutlery, pots, bowls, straws).
The use of bioplastics for shopping bags is already very common. After their initial use they can
be reused as bags for organic waste and then be composted. Trays and containers for fruit,
vegetables, eggs and meat, bottles for soft drinks and dairy products and blister foils for fruit
and vegetables are also already widely manufactured from bioplastics.
Non-disposable applications include mobile phone casings and car interiors, fuel line and plastic
pipe applications, and new electroactive bioplastics are being developed that can be used to
carry electrical current. In these areas, the goal is not biodegradability, but to create items from
sustainable resources.
Biodegradable plastics are plastics that will decompose in the natural environment.
Biodegradation of plastics can be achieved by enabling microorganisms in the environment to
metabolize the molecular structure of plastic films to produce an inert humus-like material that is
less harmful to the environment. They may be composed of either bioplastics, which are plastics

whose components are derived from renewable raw materials, or petroleum-based plastics. The
use of bio-active compounds compounded with swelling agents ensures that, when combined
with heat and moisture, they expand the plastic's molecular structure and allow the bio-active
compounds to metabolize and neutralize the plastic.
