Increasing environmental concern. Unsustainable nature of fossil fuel plastics. Increasing petroleum costs. Why BioPlastics?

Advantages over traditional plastics 1.Reduced green house gases emission due to production from renewable resources. 2.More Sustainable production than petro-chemical production. 3. Biodegradable - doesn’t collect in Land-fills. 4.For petroleum based plastics mechanical recycling is neither practical nor economical when used as: waste bags agricultural mulch sheets food packaging

Growing demand of BioPlastics 4 times increase in Global demands to 9,000,000 tonnes by 2013 Increasing demand for biobased, durable products in electronics and automotive applications up from 12% to 40% Japan Government has set a goal that 20% of all plastics consumed in Japan will be renewably sourced by Other countries like USA and Germany following.

PLA based BioPlastics POLY LACTIC ACID

PLA extraction through Algae cultivation ALGAL STRAIN: phaeodactylum tricornutum, a fast growing marine algae. Advantages over other strains: 2-day cycle Growth rate of 40g/sq.m/day Oil content of 25%(w/w) High glucose content (30% of dw)

Advantages of ALGAE over CROPS ALGAECROPS Less Land Required No Arable Land Required Less Water Required Grown with Salt or Fresh Water Faster Growth Rate Versatile Product Use Continuous Growing Season Does Not Deplete Food Supply

PLA production through Algae The plant produces PLA along with Algal oil. 40% of alage is starch and 60% of that starch can be converted to Bioplastics. 1 acre can yield around 125 tons. 22 tons of Bioplastic. Algae can be harvested from 1.PhotBioReactor 2.Open Pond Cultivation

Open Pond Cultivation We are using open-pond cultivation. Raceway open ponds are used. Despite higher biomass concentration and better control of culture parameters, data accumulated in the past 25 years have shown that the illuminated areal, volumetric productivity and cost of production in these enclosed photobioreactors are not better than those achievable in open-pond cultures.

POND SPECIFICATIONS Location The average temperature should be less than 15 degree. Area One pond should be 3000 square metres (commercially best suited). Depth cm There should be a divider between the pond made of PVC. The walls of these ponds can be made of bricks. Paddle wheels to keep algae in a controlled but constantly moving state to ensure healthy and rapid growth. LONG- short diameter and high RPM for Spirulloni.

Fermentation The glucose content of the algal biomass is 30% of the dry weight of algae(40% of the algal weight after oil extraction. The crushed algal biomass is then mixed with water and nutrients essential for the growth of lactococcus lacti. The algal biomass serves as the glucose source. Lactococcus lacti ferment glucose to lactic acid.

Best Yield Conditions Conditions for best yield of Lactic acid 60g/l concentration of glucose pH Maximum lactic acid concentration 32.3g/l Maximum cellular concentration 2.57g/l Under these conditions Glucose conversion rate is 90.26% and yield of lactic acid per gram of glucose is 0.63.
