ECOR Greentech is at the forefront of innovation with its latest initiative—vegetable starch-based biodegradable plastics. This
project leverages renewable natural resources such as corn and potato starch to create sustainable alternatives to conventional
plastics. Designed to decompose much faster and more safely than petroleum-based plastics, these biodegradable materials
offer a promising solution to the ever-growing problem of plastic pollution. By combining cutting-edge technology with
environmental consciousness, ECOR Greentech is leading the way in developing eco-friendly materials that are non-toxic, cost-
effective, and aligned with the principles of sustainability and the circular economy.
The process of biodegradable plastics at ECOR Greentech begins with the extraction of starch from renewable agricultural sources like corn and potatoes. This starch undergoes a series of controlled processes, including gelatinization, plasticization, and polymer blending, to form biopolymers suitable for various plastic applications. Additives that enhance mechanical strength and biodegradability are integrated into the formulation, ensuring optimal performance and environmental compatibility. The final product can be moulded or extruded into films, containers, cutlery, and other forms, depending on the end-use. The entire process can be designed to be energy-efficient, scalable, and low-impact, reflecting ECOR Greentech’s commitment to green innovation.

CONTRIBUTION TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
By embracing vegetable starch-based biodegradable plastics, ECOR Greentech actively supports the circular economy—an economic model focused on minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency. These plastics are not only derived from renewable sources but are also designed to return to the environment safely after use, leaving no toxic residues. This closed-loop lifecycle helps reduce the need for virgin plastic production, encourages responsible consumption, and promotes regeneration rather than depletion. It transforms plastic use from a linear "take-make-dispose" model into a regenerative system where materials serve society and the environment simultaneously.
