About

This pilot unit is dedicated to the extraction and refining of starch from potatoes, specifically for the development of bioplastics. It serves as a crucial research and development facility, enabling the exploration and optimization of processes to convert raw potato starch into a viable feedstock for biodegradable and sustainable plastic alternatives. The unit focuses on efficient starch extraction, followed by refining steps to achieve the purity and characteristics required for bioplastic formulation. By operating at a pilot scale, it bridges the gap between laboratory research and industrial production, allowing for the testing of various processing parameters, material properties, and the overall feasibility of potato starch-based bioplastics. This initiative aims to advance eco-friendly material science, offering a renewable resource solution to reduce reliance on traditional petroleum-based plastics.
