4. Scientists of Indian Institute of technology have developed degradable plastics for the first time by using Indian local technology. It was developed by the Institute's Center for new materials (COE suspol). Using this plastic, the center has developed tableware, household furniture, flowerpots, toys and other decorative items. Vimal katiyar, coordinator of COE suspol and chief researcher of the project, said that compared with the United States, the main producer of biodegradable plastics, their team produced this product with local technology at a lower cost. He said that this product has passed the hot drink certification because it has no dangerous chemicals. The product is pollution-free and helps to improve soil fertility. It is a bio based safety and environmental protection product, not from oil. When this biodegradable plastic is thrown into the garbage, it will automatically degrade and be absorbed by the soil. The project has been supported by a private enterprise in Gujarat and began commercial production. So far, iit-g center has produced 7-8 kg of degradable plastics at one time. The pilot project of capacity design of 100 tons per year will continue until September this year. If the pilot project is successfully completed, commercial production may begin. （From: guwahatiplus）
