Demonstration of Compostable Biocomposites using Biobased Additives
FY 2022-23 · 2023-01-01
Summary
Erthos Inc. has developed a proof of concept (POC) to develop and implement a biobased, compostable solution that leverages biobased additives found both in nature and developed internally, to optimize, tune and strengthen their plant-powered compostable biocomposite resin formulations, and to achieve the following technological advancements:
1) Viable injection moulding of the compostable resins;
2) Viable film cast extrusion of the compostable biocomposite resins;
3) Viable biocomposite resins for production in commercial-scale extruders;
4) Development of internal formulae to understand material end of life behaviour
The proposed work plan consists of five (5) main activities as described below.

Description (French)
Erthos Inc. a élaboré une preuve de concept pour développer et mettre en œuvre une solution compostable d’origine biologique qui tire parti d’additifs d’origine biologique présents dans la nature et développés à l’interne, afin d’optimiser, d’ajuster et de renforcer ses formulations de résines biocomposites compostables alimentées par des plantes, et de réaliser les progrès technologiques suivants : 1) Moulage par injection viable des résines compostables; 2) Extrusion par film coulé viable des résines biocomposites compostables; 3) Résines biocomposites viables pour la production dans des extrudeuses à l’échelle commerciale; 4) Développement de formules internes pour comprendre le comportement des matériaux en fin de vie Le plan de travail proposé consiste en cinq activités principales décrites ci-dessous.
