Development of a Biodegradable Additive from Brown Algae of the Russian Far East for the Production of Plastic Packaging

Abstract

The article presents the development of a biodegradable additive from brown algae of the Russian Far East for the packaging polymer industry. We consider a possibility of using cellulose derived from algae of the Primorsky Krai, as an additive to polymeric packaging products, which imparts the properties of biodegradability to the polymer. A way to produce the biodegradable additive for plastic packaging is to reduce the duration of the technological process, increase the yield and quality of the end product and expand the resource base through the use of cheap and non-traditional local raw materials.
