Know About Polymerhemp

Polymerhemp

PolymerHemp is a polymer science technology focused on composites made from renewable sources. A biocomposite is formed by a base matrix (resion) and reinforced by natural hemp fibers.

Why use bioplastic?

The potentiality of natural plants in replacing traditional and mineral fillers as reinforcements in plastic matrix composites is in its infancy.

Much interest has been seen with biocomposites materials due to the significant rapid renewability of resources.

For example, as a non-renewable resource, glass fibers have been used for some time and since their inception, a number of limitations.

Hemp plastic component

The use of hemp not only entails an ecological benefit. It also improves the quality and performance of the products containing it.

For instance, hemp fibre has long been used, instead of fibreglass, to make surfboards as it makes them much lighter, more flexible and resistant, and gives them sensational grip and buoyancy.

Furthermore, glass fiber particles have shown to cause environmental pollution and is a considerable health hazard.

If not plastic then what to use?

Silicone food covers and lids:

When it comes to sustainability, silicone is a bit of a grey area. While it is technically created from silica, a product that is derived from sand, it generally sits somewhere between synthetic rubber and a synthetic plastic polymer. But when it’s a choice between reusable silicone food covers and single-use plastic wrap, it’s a step in the right direction.
