“Biodegradable and Antimicrobial Plastics from Water Hyacinth"
Transforming an invasive weed into a high-value, eco-friendly material. Leading the charge with our "Three-Zero Model" for a sustainable future.
Plastic Doesn’t Decompose—But Our Planet Might
Globally, over 400 million tons of plastic are produced each year, with less than 10% recycled. Most plastic ends up in oceans or landfills, persisting for centuries. Compounding the crisis, plastic surfaces have been shown to harbor and transmit antimicrobial-resistant bacteria—posing significant food safety and public health risks.
In Bangladesh, the problem is twofold:
Water hyacinth clogs waterways, threatens biodiversity, and limits access to fishing/agriculture.
Plastic waste generation exceeds 3,000 tons/day, with only 36% recycled and much of it polluting rivers and urban drainage.
Current Plastic Pollution Scenario
This project addresses both crises through a triple-impact innovation:
Product Offering:
100% biodegradable plastics from water hyacinth
Antimicrobial plastics (infused with IP secret compounds)
Fertilizer functionality — plastic decomposes into soil-enhancing compost
Why Water Hyacinth?
Abundant in Bangladesh’s water bodies
High in cellulose and lignin (ideal for bioplastics)
Regrows rapidly and is non-edible (no food chain competition)
Removing it helps rehabilitate aquatic ecosystems
This solution offers zero-waste, low-cost, and high-impact product development.
Our Solution
Production Stages:
Harvesting & Cleaning – Mechanical collection, washing, and preprocessing.
Pulping & Drying – Extraction of cellulose/lignin using enzyme or acid.
Polymer Blending – Mixed with glycerol, starch, and natural antimicrobials.
Extrusion & Molding – Shaped into films, trays, or injection-molded items.
Cutting & Packaging – Final processing with biodegradable ink and labels.
Status:
Lab-proven
Pilot facility can be operational in 3–6 months
