推动石油基塑料的环保替代品

印度班加罗尔2021年4月15日

科技公司STEER Engineering专门从事塑料、制药、食品和营养制品、生物材料和生物精制领域中有效转化和功能化材料的解决方案，该公司宣布其专利技术目前正用于开发生物质树脂。这项倡议将提出若干与生物质有关的解决方案，作为石油基塑料的环境友好替代品，应用于各个行业，包括日益增长的全球消费市场。

STEER最近向Biomass ResinHoldings Co. Ltd提供了3台欧米茄60级挤出机(日本）。这些挤压机有助于加速不可食用大米与聚烯烃树脂复合材料的开发和商业化，这种复合材料被称为“Rice Resin”™. 使用这些复合材料，最终客户可以制造诸如垃圾袋、购物袋、餐具（塑料器皿）和玩具等产品。从长远来看，这些产品使用环保聚合物而大大减少了塑料垃圾。

STEER Engineering首席执行官Subodh Jindal，评论说：“在全世界范围内，由于各种原因，包括环境问题，使用石油基塑料替代品已达成广泛共识。在STEER，我们一直致力于将复合材料转化为基于生物质的解决方案。我们感到自豪的是，我们的技术现在正被全球品牌所采用。我们的使命是推动世界走向一个更简单、更好和更进化的明天。"

欧米茄系列挤出机在复合行业树立了新的标准；它们配有STEER获得专利的“分形几何”特殊元件，旨在提高加工效率和输出质量，同时提供更高的投资回报。由于自由容积增加和扭矩能力提高，这也使制造商能够将其生产能力提高25%。STEER技术通过对预期结果的更好控制，促进生物质基材料达到更好的复合。

欧米茄挤出机结合专利的分形几何式螺纹元件及螺杆组合，在处理剪切敏感、热敏感等难于加工材料和许多其他需要较低停留时间和/或收紧停留时间分布的应用方面具有革命性的效率。

考虑到全世界，特别是发达国家和发展中国家环境意识的提高，迫切需要分阶段取代石油基塑料。尽管这对发展中经济体来说可能是一个挑战，但像STEER这样的公司走在了开拓性和革命性的前沿，促进了技术的成熟，并使其易于获取和部署。

PRESS RELEASE STEER’s technology for the development and commercialization of “Rice Resin”™ Push for environment-friendly alternatives to oil-based plastics 

BENGALURU, INDIA 15.04.2021

Technology company STEER Engineering, which specialises in solutions for effectively transforming and functionalising materials in the field of plastics, pharmaceuticals, food & nutraceuticals, biomaterials and biorefining, has announced that its patented technology is now being deployed for the development of biomass resin. This initiative will bring forward several biomass-related solutions as an environment-friendly alternative to oil-based plastics for applications in various industries, including the growing consumer market worldwide. 

STEER recently supplied 3 units of Omega 60 class extruders to Biomass Resin Holdings Co. Ltd.; (Japan). The extruders help accelerate development and commercialization of compound materials of inedible rice with polyolefin resins, called “Rice Resin”™. Using these compound materials, products such as trash bags, shopping bags, cutlery (plastic utensils), and toys, can be manufactured for end customers. In the long term, these products significantly reduce plastic waste through environment-friendly polymer. 

Subodh Jindal, CEO, STEER Engineering, commented, “World over, there is a broad consensus for using alternatives to oil-based plastics owing to various reasons, including environmental concerns. At STEER, we have been pioneering technology that can help transform compounds for biomass-based solutions. We are proud of the fact that our technology is now being deployed by global brands. It is our mission to drive the world towards a simpler, better and more evolved tomorrow.” 

The Omega series extruders set a new standard in the compounding industry; they come with STEER’s patented ‘fractional lobe geometry’ special elements that are designed to enhance process efficiency and quality of output, while delivering far greater returns on investment. It also enables manufacturers to increase their production capacity by up to 25 per cent due to the increased volume and higher torque capacity. STEER technology facilitates better and desired compounding of biomass-based materials by offering better control for desired outcomes.

Omega extruders with their special fractional lobe processor features, revolutionizes efficiency in handling difficult to process materials and many other applications that need lower residence time and/or tightening of residence time distribution. 

Considering the heightened environmental awareness worldwide, especially in the developed and developing countries, there is a dire need for replacing oil-based plastics in a phased manner. While this may be a challenge for developing economies, companies like STEER are at the forefront of pioneering and revolutionizing proven technology that is accessible and easily deployable.
