Starchware Limited Hong Kong

Starchware Limited specializes in developing and manufacturing new environmentally friendlier products using Plastarch Materials - PSM. This Brand New material is a natural plant fiber starch-based product. It is ideally suited to replace certain plastic-ware products with a more EcoFriendly and Biodegradable natural material. Also, It is a revolutionary ecological material with the combination of plastic functional characteristics and starch biodegradable advantages; and can be use for a large variety of manufacturing processes such as film blowing, injection molding, sheet extrusion, thermoforming and foaming. Because the majority of PSM are composed of natural ingredients, it will decompose in a condition where warm temperature, high moisture and bacteria are present. Below is a chronological chart of PSM film which disintegrates in a compost environment. PSM film breaks down into smaller pieces and degrades into the compost completely after 6 weeks. PSM MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS Corn starch, a renewable resource, is the major raw material of PSM where the supply is abundant and the cost is low and stable in China. A unique and revolutionary ecological material that is fully and completely degraded into harmless substances such as water and carbon dioxide. A genuine environmental-friendly product from manufacturing to post-use disposal. No wastewater, effluent gas or waste residual discharged throughout the manufacturing process. It can be used for a variety of manufacturing processes such as film blowing, injection, extrusion and foaming to product different products. Traditional plastic manufacturing machine is good enough to product PSM ranges of products. Excellent product performance properties with water-proof, oil-proof, high melting point and can be used in microwave, which is superior to those similar products in the domestic market. It can be degraded under compost conditions and be incineration as well. Only non-tonic smoke and residue is left after burning, of which can be used as fertilizer. PSM complies with the international environmental-friendly requirements of ISO14851 (related to biodegradable and compostability), European EN13432 (Packaging - Requirements for Packaging Recoverable through Composting and Biodegradation - Test Scheme and Evaluation Criteria for the Final Acceptance of Packaging), North America ASTM D6400 (Standard specification for Compostable Plastics), US FDA regulation 176.170 and EU EN 71-3:1994/A1:2000. It also meets the degradability criteria of GB 18006.1 - 1999 issued by State Administration fro Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine. And many other regulatory.
