RC-SSS are material that will decompose naturally when introduced in the environment. The end result of compostable films is less harmful to the environment as compared to regular plastic bags.

To Reduce Carbon Emission

Reduces the carbon emission during the manufacturing process, not just that, since the materials used to create biodegradable films are plant-based, minimal carbon is emitted during the composting process.

Lesser Energy Consumption

While the initial investment might be slightly higher, in the long run, RC-SSS films require lesser amounts of energy.

Lower Petroleum Consumption

Oil is a significant ingredient in the manufacturing of traditional plastics. Petroleum is known to have negative impacts on the environment. Compostable plastics use natural products; therefore, the use of bioplastic can profoundly reduce the amount of petroleum used and consequently lessen its environmental hazards.

Are RC-SSS films food grade?

Plastics are widely used for the manufacturing of packaging materials because of their performance and ease in production.

Conventionally, plastic material is commonly used in the food industry due to large availability and excellent mechanical performance at a low cost. However, increased usage of plastics has created serious ecological problems to the environment because of their resistance to biodegradation.

This has gained high interest for our researchers to develop new materials that meet food protection and preservation requirements.

RC-SSS films are good systems for the improvement of food quality, shelf life, safety and functionality.

They can be used as individual packaging materials, food coating materials, active ingredient carriers and to separate the compartments of heterogeneous ingredients within foods.
