Eco-Friendly Material

BIO-BASED MATERIALS Eco-Friendly Material

Bio-based materials are sourced from renewable sources like corn, sugar cane, and cassava. These natural resources possess a significant amount of sugar or starch, which can be subjected to fermentation to create bio-based polymers or bio-based chemicals that can be subsequently polymerized into polymers. 

BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC Eco-Friendly Material

Biodegradable polymers can originate from bio-based or conventional petroleum-based polymers, provided they can undergo decomposition in natural or suitable conditions. The prevailing global criterion mandates that over 90% of its organic carbon should decompose into carbon dioxide within a span of 6 months, while also ensuring its non-toxicity. 

RECYCLED PLASTIC Eco-Friendly Material

Recycled plastics primarily originate from the recycling of marine waste, industrial plastics, and consumer plastics. Once the recycling plant filters out impurities and re-pulps the materials, they undergo processing at the compounding plant before being transformed into usable recycled materials. 

Bio-based materials  

Bio-based materials distinguish themselves from traditional materials by utilizing renewable biomass like grains, legumes, straw, bamboo, and wood powder as raw materials. These ingredients are transformed into chemical monomers and subsequently polymerized into polymer materials. 

Compared with traditional polymer materials, bio-based materials have two advantages: 

1. The bio-based materials are sourced from biomass fuels, leading to decreased reliance on fossil fuels among individuals.
2. The carbon emissions produced during the manufacturing of bio-based materials are significantly lower compared to conventional materials. 

The increasing advancement of bio-based materials has led to a wider range of types and specifications. Nytex has been dedicated to researching and developing various bio-based materials in the engineering plastics industry. We provide material recommendations for our customers’ applications, which not only assist in reducing the carbon footprint of their end products but also contribute to sustainable environmental management. 

Biodegradable plastic

Biodegradable plastics, commonly referred to as eco-friendly plastics, possess the ability to be broken down and metabolized by microorganisms in the environment when exposed to specific environmental conditions (such as ample humidity, oxygen, and suitable microorganisms). The resulting decomposition products (such as water, carbon dioxide, methane, etc.) significantly reduce the environmental impact. 

Nytex has always considered environmental protection as its own duty, and it is also the primary area of focus for Nytex’s development efforts. By integrating the existing composite material technology with the unique properties of biodegradable plastics, Nytex has successfully created biodegradable modified materials that possess excellent dyeability, effortless processability, and convenient decomposition. These materials find extensive applications in various sectors such as household products, outdoor items, and structural housing materials. 

Furthermore, Nytex has observed a rise in the popularity of survival games, leading to an increase in the usage of BB bullets. These BB bullets, when left scattered on the ground, do not vanish on their own but instead seep into the soil with rainwater, contaminating the land, being absorbed by plants, and ultimately making their way back into human bodies through the food chain. To address this issue, Nytex has initiated the development and release of a new product called “Biodegradable polymer material for BB bullets”, aiming to ensure that participating in survival games no longer contributes to environmental pollution. 

Recycled materials 

The rise in plastic product usage has led to a corresponding increase in plastic waste generation on a daily basis. Due to the challenges in natural decomposition of such materials, artificial processing and recycling have emerged as popular solutions. GRS certification stands as a recognized certification for recycled materials. 

The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an international voluntary product specification requirement standard that mandates products to have a minimum of 20% certified recycled materials and be completely pollution-free to obtain certification. Along with overseeing the sourcing of raw materials, GRS also governs corporate social responsibility, environmental pollution control in production, and the restriction of toxic chemicals. Nytex is dedicated to creating composite projects using recycled materials. The company prioritizes its employees’ physical and mental well-being, as well as the sustainable development of the environment. As a result, Nytex began implementing these practices in late 2021 and successfully achieved GRS certification in early 2022.
