Hey guys- Know you all looking for something here just like I was on the recent 100% plus move but and just wanted you to have something to read. BIODEGRADABLE PLASTICS DEVELOPED IN SHAANXI , Xinhua News Agenc Biodegradable Plastics Developed in Shaanxi XI'AN (Feb. 13) XINHUA - The Yangling Agricultural High- tech Zone in northwestern Shaanxi Province has developed a kind of biodegradable plastic sheeting, which is environmentally friendly. The technology involved in making the product has passed technical appraisals by the China National Packaging Corp. under the auspices of the State Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision. The research group led by Prof. Li Anhua has turned out a dozen plastic products including dinner sets and ground-covering plastic sheeting, all made of biodegradable starch. Repeated experiments conducted over the past five years have shown that the starch-made products can be decomposed into water and carbon dioxide in a matter of 70-90 days. The cost for making such biodegradable plastic products is roughly the same as that in making traditional plastic goods. "Biodegradable products made with the new technology are expected to replace traditional plastic wears, thus opening up a new way to do away with 'white pollution'," said Prof. Li Zhenqi, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. At present, an estimated 11 million tons of plastic garbage were disposed of in China annually and the figure in the world as a whole reached 170 million tons every year. Ground plastic sheeting is used extensively on about 30 percent of China's arable land, and, if a hectare of arable land is left with 500 kg of plastic wastes, soil fertility will be lost completely, as indicated by a recent agricultural survey.
