Innovative Natural Fibre Reinforced Bio-Composite Granules for Cradle to Cradle Solutions China in our hands?for Cradle-to-Cradle Solutions – China in our hands?
Martin H.B. Snijderj
3th International Congress on Bio-based Plastics and CompositesApril 20th –21st 2010, HANNOVER MESSEp ,
Introduction
Our world in the 21st century fundamentally differs y yfrom the 20th century:
• Economically due to credit crunchcredit crunch
• Ecologically due to climate changeclimate change
• Geo-politically due to drising energy needs

Highlighting GreenGran’s product qualityg g g p q y
Our granules compete with engineering plastics:Our granules compete with engineering plastics:
lighter, stiffer, equally strong
Economic competitive

Pro’s and cons
Technical competition unfilled- vs filled- vs Technical competition unfilled- vs filled- vs reinforced plastic:
• Mechanical properties following 20-30% glassfibre (GF) reinforced, Mechanical properties following 20 30% glassfibre (GF) reinforced, impact properties lower than most unfilled plastics
• Lower melt flow = lower throughput , unless nozzle is widened
For economic competition with:For economic competition with:• Unfilled plastic: only by reducing weight or by following C2C
economics, or to market it as bio-based productCh lk b t fill d l ti id• Chalk, carbon, etc filled plastics: idem
(Glass fibre reinforced) engineering plastics: OK

Performance Advantage of SoGreen’s PHB
Capability of producing varieties of copolymers or compositions Capability of producing varieties of copolymers, or compositions, by adjusting polymerization ratios, thus having broad application potential
Our PHB granules can be used for making:
– films films – foils– foams– adhesives– rubber additives

Concluding …
For sustainable applications to replace For sustainable applications, to replace traditional engineering plastics by bio-based alternatives use ‘GreenGran’ NF/PP, NF/PLA/PHB
For disposable applications, to replace traditional oil-based plastics bybio-degradable alternatives use ‘SoGreen’ PHB
