Japanese companies use corn plastic to replace chemical plastics
A Japanese company prepares to make plastic food containers from corn as a substitute for chemical plastics. This food packaging box manufacturer is located in Kawasaki, in the middle of Japan, and has been researching plant plastic products for 15 years. Their products were exhibited at the Aichi Expo last year. At present, they have decided to import corn from the United States and produce corn plastic packaging boxes. In 2007, the company will also set up a production line in Gunma Prefecture, north of Tokyo, to produce plastic food containers that use plants as raw materials. It is expected that sales will reach 18 million U.S. dollars within three years.
However, the cost of producing plastics from plants as raw materials is high. Fortunately, the price of oil has been rising recently, and the difference between plant plastic products and petroleum-based chemical plastic products is shrinking. Therefore, the prospects of the corn plastic packaging industry have been favored by many people.
