In India, we invented and established serial production of fully biodegradable, in fact, edible packages. The company’s founder, 25-year-old Ashvey Hedge, worked on his invention 4, reports Mirror.
And it all started with the fact that in some Indian cities, a ban on the use of conventional plastic bags, that for many Indians it became a huge problem.

As a result, Indian invented the combination of starch and vegetable oils, which after processing produces a material that looks and feels like plastic and polyethylene, but is completely biologically pure.
The bioplastic includes 12 ingredients, including – potato, cassava, maize, natural starch, vegetable oil, banana, and flower oil. The production process is, of course, is a closely guarded secret, but the young entrepreneur said that the raw material is first converted to a liquid form, and then it goes through six stages of processing.

The cost of one Biobags EnviGreen approximately 35% higher than the cost of the plastic bag, but the benefits of the disproportionately higher costs.
EnviGreen bags decompose naturally in less than 180 days in warm water – a few hours, but in boiling water – for 15 seconds.

EnviGreen in Bangalore has already built its plant, where it produces about 1,000 tons of environmentally friendly “plastic” bags per month.

For the production of a package is also used and food dyes. That is, they sedobnoe. This does not mean that people can eat them, say the inventors, but if the package Siete zhivtnoe, which often happens, it is not threatened.
According to the Minister of State of India on the environment, forests and climate change, more than 15 thousand tons of plastic waste is generated in India every day, only 9,000 of which are collected and processed. So that the invention EnviGreen Government puts great hopes.
In addition to environmental protection, Ashwath Hedge and plans to help local farmers who produce the raw materials for its SuperPacket.
