Pulp as Biodegradable Plastic in Disposable Food Containers

USDA ARS
By Rosalie Marion Bliss
January 16, 2013

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists and university cooperators have developed a biodegradable plastic that could be used in disposable food containers. The plastic, called a thermoplastic, becomes soft when heated.

To make the plastic, Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists incorporated biodegradable sugar beet pulp, which is the leftover residue from sugar extraction, with a biodegradable polymer. The result is thermoplastic composites that retain mechanical properties similar to polystyrene and polypropylene, the compounds used to make white, spongy food packages.

Algae Biomass Organization Expands Depth and Breadth of Membership

Marketwire - press release from Algae Biomass Organization

January 07, 2013 13:46 ET


Addition of Major Traditional Industry Leaders Closes Year of Sweeping Progress for Organization Advancing Algae as a Source of Sustainable, Domestically-Produced Commodities

MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwire - Jan 7, 2013) - New memberships in the Algae Biomass Organization, the trade association for the algae industry, reflected a wider range of industries in 2012, driven by the increasing impact of algae technology as an economical and environmental source of sustainable fuels, chemicals, food and other valued-added products. New members included representatives from a range of industries, including United Airlines (aviation), The Scouler Company (agriculture), Duke Energy (energy), Church & Dwight (consumer packaged goods), SABIC (chemicals and fertilizer) and Mars Symbioscience (food & nutrition).

During the course of the year, ABO added more than 150 new members for 2012 and 2013, including 99 that signed up during the Algae Biomass Summit this past September in Denver, Colorado.

"These inspiring new membership numbers reflect the growing recognition that algae-based technologies and products have a significant role to play in the sustainable production of a range of commodity products, including fuel, feed and food applications, novel chemicals, human health and nutrition and many others," said Mary Rosenthal, the organization's executive director. "While algae-derived fuels have been much of the early focus of investors and industry, there's no doubt that there is incredible opportunity in many other market segments. Our growing, and increasingly diverse, membership reflects this reality."

USDA Grants Support Sustainable Bioenergy Production

USDA News Release

Release No. 0360.12

LANSING, Mich., Dec. 14, 2012—Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced $10 million in research grants to spur production of bioenergy and biobased products that will lead to the development of sustainable regional systems and help create jobs. Vilsack highlighted the announcement today with a visit to Michigan State University, a grant awardee. The Secretary also pointed to a recent study released by Iowa State University (ISU), and funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which finds that while the use of biobased products in automobile manufacturing is increasing, there are still many parts in the top-selling automobiles manufactured in the United States that may be replaced with biobased materials.

"USDA and President Obama are committed to producing clean energy right here at home, to not only break our dependence on foreign oil, but also boost rural economies," said Vilsack. "These projects will give us the scientific information needed to support biofuel production and create co-products that will enhance the overall value of a biobased economy. Today, with a strong and diversified U.S. agricultural sector, the American automobile industry has a greater incentive for expanding use of biobased products while supporting good-paying jobs here in the United States."
