The University of Campinas, Brazil recently developed a new environmentally friendly substance that can replace the current foam to eliminate white pollution.
This new substance is called "biofoam". Vicinho, a university chemistry researcher, said that new substances are mainly made from natural and recyclable substances. He said, “The composition of 70 percent of the new material is derived from a variety of vegetable oil products from corn, soybeans, and ramie, while petroleum extracts only account for 30 percent. Wesino said that bio-foam Plastic can be used as a lightweight packaging material, because it can be quickly biodegradable in nature, is to replace the foam plastic goods. Biofoam and foam that will not decompose for hundreds of years, it can be less than two During the year, it was dissolved in nature, and biofoam production costs were low and no toxic byproducts were produced.
Vicinho is currently leading the chemist research team and is also responsible for the six-year investment plan of 700 million U.S. dollars sponsored by a Brazilian chemical company. Three months later, Brazil will start producing this bio-foam for the local market. According to Viscino, by the middle of next year, the production of foam can be increased to 1,000 tons per month.
