Food based plastic has many advantages. Firs, Food based plastic made from plant such as corn which is mean that is a renewable resource. Second, food based plastic is a solution that will reduce the greenhouse gases that causes of using petrol to produce the normal plastic, also food based plastic need less energy to produce. Those are the main advantages of food based plastic.

However, food based plastic has several disadvantages. Fist, that food based plastic cannot be mixed with other plastic while it recycles. Second, which it has low melting point, because food-based plastic in the heat of a long time and this means it’s inappropriate to use. In addition, food based plastic involve specific conditions to breakdown. These are the disadvantage of the food based plastic.

The chart shows the sector that use food based plastic in 2013. Also the chart illustrate that packaging is the most use of food based plastic, and electronic is the less of using food based plastic. Packaging worth 66.5% use of food based plastic which is packaging is the most sector uses food based plastic, in the other side is electronic which is 3.5% only of using food based plastic.

In the end food based plastic has some advantages and disadvantages in the environment and other things. however most use of it is packaging and electronic is the less. 

 

Advantages:

 

There are two main advantages for food-based plastics. Firstly, they are renewable resources. Secondly, food-based plastics are better for the environment than the petrol plastics because they need less energy to produce and the greenhouse gases will decrease.

 

Disadvantage:

 

The food-based plastic also has disadvantages one of the biggest issues that they have melting points such as polyethylene terephthalate has a melting point above 204 degrees Celsius. Also they are not friendly to the environment if they thrown in normal rubbish dump it will break down slowly also it takes time and money to produce.

 

The pie chart shows the use of the food-based plastics by sector 2013.

The pie chart illustrates the things that is  made by food-based plastics such as packaging, electronics and others. According to the pie chart the packaging and other things use the most food-based plastics and the least is electronic .

The food-based plastics is mostly used in packaging which is 66.5%, the second comes others and its 12%, the least is for electronics which is 3.5%.

By focusing on these three the most used is for packaging then others and the least is electronics.

To summarize the food  is now used as a plastics  it has an advantages and disadvantage. The chart shows that food is mostly used in packaging, and it will be developed.

I think the food-based plastics is not a good idea because it might melt also it may have bad smell with the time.  

Plastic nowadays produced using plants like corn and sugar. Moreover, packaging and mobile cases can manufacture from eco-friendly materials. Their many advantages for food-based plastics such as the renewability, unlike patrol. Furthermore, it is better for the environment.

Despite this, there are serval disadvantages such as low-melting point like the corn-based plastic have a melting point 46 degrees Celsius as a consequence it is not eligible for the wide range of applications. Also, it is not as environmentally-friendly as they appear due it cannot be put with recyclable plastics and does not break down quickly.

The graph below illustrates the use of the food-based plastics in six sectors in 2013, and it shows the packaging in the first position then other purpose usage came, and the least usage was te Electronics.

The packaging sector takes the lead of usage with 66.5% than others sector come at second place with 12% after it the textiles takes third place with 7.5% then the agriculture with 6.5%, and after it, the Medical purposes came and at the last place the electronics with 3.5%.

To summarize, food-based plastic is an excellent method for saving the planet, but it has some disadvantages that maybe in future scientist will solve it besides this there are advantages that it will make us use less petroleum for plastic.

According to the article, food-based fuels can eliminate our dependence on oil. It can replace the petrol and diesel in our cars. Food-based fuels are made from plants such as corn and sugar, but it does have disadvantages that can affect the use of the food-based plastic. If the fuel is being left in the car on a sunny day then it will melt into pools of liquid that has a low melting point of 46 degrees Celsius. 

However, it has advantages that can useful in the future. It is made from the renewable sources that are from the production of farmers, which as a result will show that it can continue indefinitely as production keeps going. Secondly, it is better for the environment as it breakdowns into harmless organic compounds and needs less energy to produce this fuel. 

Although, it may appear friendly by being recycled but it cannot be recycled with another recyclable plastics. The food-based plastics are considered pollutant that takes money and time according to the recycling industry. As shown in the chart, on the year of 2013, the food-based plastics have been used over 66.5% of packaging, whereas, electronics are being used over 3.5%. Others are using these plastics such as medical, agriculture, textiles and others.

In conclusion, food-based fuels can replace the use of petrol and diesel with many advantages but it also has disadvantages that some would not take this into consideration. In my opinion, I think the food-based fuel is not a good idea due to the melting point.

There are some benefits of using food instead of using petroleum products. First, renewable resource, so people can plant continuously and the production of the new material definitely will never stop, when the petroleum industrial is not renewable resource. Moreover, food based plastic is safer for the environment because its need little power compared with the real plastic, also it reduce the uses of greenhouse gases.

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of using food based plastic. for example,  the most issue is that their melting point, when the most type of the normal plastic have more than 204 degrees Celsius when the food based plastic turn into liquid if it has not placed in good room temperature. Farther more, the food based plastic cannot be used in a country that has high temperatures. What is more that food based plastic cannot be recycled with other materials when the normal plastic is easiest and saving money in the recycling process.

The previous graph illustrates the uses of food based plastic in 2013 by percentage. First its show that packaging got the most uses with 66.5%, then agriculture field used by 6.5%, also it shows that electronics used food based plastic with 3.5%. Moreover, textiles use 7.5% when the medical field used just 4%. Finally there are some other industrials uses 12% of food based plastic.       

However, this case should not be passed without looking for new solution. There are several companies started using food based plastic already.

   

Now days, The pollution is a serious problem that caused some diseases. One of these diseases it came from the plastic bag and threaten the wildlife. So, that senates discovered a new method to decrease the pollution by changing the oil industry with food manufacturing. 

There are some of advantages of changing the oil industry with food manufacturing. One of the advantages is made from renewable resource. Therefore, the traditional work like farming will be start again. The second advantage is, that will be butter for the environment because it will reduce the uses of energy and decrease the greenhouse gases.

On the other hand, there are several disadvantages from using the food based plastic. For example the food have melting point and it can’t use in whole world because of the sun or the weather temperature. The food based plastics is not friendly with the environment and it is not strong like plastic it may broke down very fast. In the plastic recycling the industry mixed all of plastic but in the food based plastic cannot be recycled with other material. 

This graph illustrates the percentage of uses of food based plastics in 2013. The 66.5 percent is for packaging and it is the biggest uses for it, the second is agriculture is 6.5percent. third, electronics is 3.5 percent. Forth, the textiles are 7.5 percent. Fifth, medical is 4 percent. Sixth, for others uses 12 percent.    

To sum up, the pollution is world spread problem, and it caused by plastic bugs there is a solution it is food based plastic it is not that good solution to solve this problem with.

 

 

 

Usually food-based-plastics derived from oils, corn starch, and vegetable fats. There is relationship between food materials quality and applications; which is the more food materials quality increased the more applications we will have.

 

There are two advantages for
food-based-plastics; First the food will reduce the use of patrol for cars and
the use of plastics products such as water bottle and plastic bags. In advance
this means the environment will be less pollution and more fresh air. Second
advantage is that it is considered as renewable power that we can have it
forever without the fear of losing it.

On
the other hand, there are also disadvantages; One of the disadvantages is that
food-based-plastics has low melting power which means once the product exposed
to heat it will melt and not be appropriate to use.

 

As the chart illustrates use of food-based-plastics at 2013
presented as a percentage. However packaging presents the highest percentage as
66.5% and the electronic presents the lowest percentage as 3.5%. The others
materials presented as 12%.

 

Food-based-plastics
are just like every other source of power that has advantages and disadvantage,
but as well it is an invented way to use that science has discovered. In my
personal opinion I think it is safe and useful because it can be recycled and
it does not cause pollution although it does not cost much

Food-based plastic is mainly made from plants such as corn and sugar. It gained popularity over the past few years by being used for packaging. There are several industries that utilized food-based plastic in 2013.

On the first hand, food-based plastic is better than petrol-based plastic because it is made from a renewable source, which is plants. Also, it is much better for the environment as it requires less energy to make and it breaks down into harmless organic compounds.
 On the other hand, food-based plastic melts at a much lower heat than regular plastic does. It could melt at as low as 46⁰ Celsius, which can be reached in an interior of a parked car on a sunny day! Whereas petrol-based plastic melts at 204⁰ Celsius. In addition to that they take more time and money to be recycled than normal plastic does, and it doesn’t take faster to break down naturally either!

To sum up, food-based plastic has its cons and pros. It is a great concept that needs to be further improved in order to be a better substitute to traditional plastic.
