GUJARAT, India -- India's first unit to manufacture sheets and bags dedicated to bioplastic was laid in Ahmedabad, Gugarat recently. This innovation is an alternative to plastic for consumer and industrial products. The sheets produced are 100% biodegradable and compostable, yet it is very similar to plastic in terms of strength and usage. The product is branded as 'Truegreen'.
Truegreen film is made from Biolice® raw material which is a biodegradable polymer. Biolice® is exclusively used by Greendiamz Biotech to manufacture Truegreen products in Ahmedabad. Biolice® benefits from the "OK Compost" and "Kompostierbar" certification, which, in accordance with European Standard EN 13432, guarantees the product's complete decomposition in less than 24 weeks with no toxic risk to the environment. The bioplastic products manufactured using Biolice® after normal disposal in soil are broken down by micro-organisms. This process which is traditional and natural for solid waste disposal produces good quality humus, suitable for use in gardening or agriculture.
Greendiamz Biotech's manufacturing facility, dedicated to green plastics, is located at Bavla, and was founded as a result of the MoU signed with the Govt of Gujarat at Vibrant Summit 2009 and Greendiamz Biotech got hold on to the novel initiative and went ahead giving shape to the Green mission. Greendiamz Biotech plant is using Solar Lights and by barring plastic element entering the facility.
David Pearson, MD, Limagrain Céréales, France mentioned, "India is a major world economy with the second largest population. It therefore produces large quantities of plastic-based waste, which is the root cause many health and environment hazards. According to various sources, the per capita annual consumption of plastic in the country stood at 150 bags per person and is expected to go up to 200 by 2011. In addition to this, the Plastic Development Council states that India is expected to be the third largest consumer of plastics after US and China by 2011. Keeping in view the increasing future demand we have provided a Green Solution to today's world. Thus, I believe Biolice® from Limagrain Céréales is the new age solution to manufacture environmental friendly solutions including biodegradable products that are technologically advanced and internationally certified."
"The launch of Truegreen brand will be commemorated as a historical event in the coming days. The product line available with us will not only be a complete substitute to plastic but shall propel various other benefits to the consumer. With its non-dependency on petroleum products 'Truegreen' bio-plastic is not only environmentally friendly but also has a long-term economical benefits both for humanity and ecology. Truegreen will prove a big respite to many pollution control bodies investing huge amounts on Waste management," said Ronnie Khajotia, CEO - TrueGreen, Greendiamz Biotech.
Commenting on the launch of the Green initiative, Dipack Sangghvi, Director - Truegreen, Greendiamz Biotech said, "It is a moment of pride to give the nation a Dream project which is extremely essential in today's world. The responsible citizens, Corporate India, government bodies etc. today are 'going green'; these bodies are investing a lot to accomplish the same. The formulation of TRUEGREEN - a new revolution to save the environment has been embarked upon and it is overwhelming to share the fact that we are Born Green."
