    Cassava Starch Based Bioplastic ,

    a Potensial Solution for


    Microplastic Problem
    Asmuwahyu saptorahardjo, Herman Moeliana,
    PT Inter Aneka Lestari Kimia
    Indonesia.
    Why Enviplast is urgently needed?
    • Plastic waste problem in land : Although
    plastic consumption in Indonesia is
    relatively low, 10 kg/year/capita, due to
    land scarcity, poor waste management , low
    plastic recycle capability especially for
    flexible packaging , our environment is
    endangered
    • Plastic waste in marine area : As an island
    country Indonesia with a very large coastal
    line - 54710 km long - and 240 million
    population, a plastic waste runoff from
    dense populated area to the open sea ,
    caused an estimated contribution of *12 %
    to the global marine plastic waste ,
    creating microplastic formation .

    Looks like plastic but it is NOT plastic
    • ENVIPLAST® is a biobased polymer
    compound, made mainly from
    industrial natural starch, vegetable oil
    derivatives, and other natural
    ingredients.

    • ENVIPLAST® is environmental friendly


    and a potential replacement for
    conventional PE films

    • ENVIPLAST® is safe for plant growth


    and animals

    Acute Oral Toxicity of ENVIPLAST® Film

    TESTED BY :
    WIL Research Europe B.V.
    Hambakenwetering 7 - 5231 DD ‘s-Hertogenbosch -The Netherlands
    ( WIL Research U.S., The Netherlands,)

    TEST METHOD :
    OECD No.423 (2001) "Acute Oral Toxicity”

    RESULT :
    ENVIPLAST® does not have to be classified and has no obligatory
    labeling requirement for acute oral toxicity according to the Globally
    Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of
    the United Nations (2011) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on
    classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.

    Conclusion
    • The biodegradable Enviplast being at an infant state, can be
    considered as a part of the medium term microplastic reduction
    strategy.
    • An infrastructure such as a composting facility will be needed as an
    integral waste reduction strategy.
    Thank you for saving
    my life and our world
