Note that this is one of the first such experiments of innovation in the production of disposable tableware in the CIS. Director Polycap Oleg Pashnin said that the main additive for foamed polystyrene is starch — potato or corn. This component is food for bacteria and other microorganisms. Therefore, disposable cups decompose without harming the environment. Term collapse of such an innovative glass with the free access of oxygen is six months. If oxygen is not, then the dishes of the Belarusian enterprise decomposes at 95% for 2.5 years.
Note that the production of biodegradable disposable tableware and packaging is a progressive direction of development of the entire industry. Leading companies currently working to improve the technology of raw material from plant components or samorastekayushchikhsya petrochemicals. The basic rate scientists doing the work of microorganisms.
