Taghleef Industries’ Post

Derprosa™ #bioBLUE is #TaghleefIndustries' version of #LaminatingFilms that contribute to the use of plastic resins from second-generation vegetable feedstocks. 30% of the resins used in the production of these films come from waste cooking oils. Currently, two different origins of these vegetable oils can be distinguished from which polypropylene resins of the same quality as traditional fossil-based resins can be obtained: ◼️ First-generation BIO raw material: comes from natural vegetable oils that have had no other use, such as those obtained from plants and seeds ◼️ Second-generation BIO raw material: comes from natural vegetable oils that have already been used for cooking #Derprosa™ bioBLUE uses 30% #biobased resins obtained from second-generation BIO raw materials.

📚 Excited to share a fascinating article: "Bioaccumulation and biotransformation of plasticisers diisononyl phthalate and di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate in black soldier fly larvae reared on (micro)plastic-contaminated food waste“  by Prof. Giulia Poma’s team. ✨ Food waste is currently used for the production of biogas. However, a reusage of waste is preferred to follow the principles of the circular economy and consider the waste management hierarchy, which can be achieved by rearing black soldier fly (BSF) larvae on such organic waste. Nonetheless, the presence of (micro)plastics and related additive plasticisers might induce chemical safety hazards to the larval applications as feed. Therefore, the bioaccumulation and biotransformation of two plasticisers (diisononyl phthalate (DINP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT)) in BSF larvae reared on food waste streams contaminated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) (micro)plastics were investigated. Results showed that BSF larvae appeared to have a moderate intake of DINP during its rearing phase of 10 days (82 - 273 ng/g), while being able to biotransform it into the primary biotransformation product monoisononyl phthalate (MINP) within 24 h. For DEHT, an uptake of 67 - 137 ng/g was measured in the BSF larvae; however, no clear biotransformation pattern was observed. In addition, while no secondary oxidative biotransformation products were found in the larvae, these were measured in the frass, leading to the hypothesis that microorganism-mediated biotransformation of plasticisers occurred. In conclusion, based on the results of this study, BSF larvae could potentially be used safely in the frame of circular economy, when reared on organic substrates contaminated with the same PVC microplastic content and sizes used.

�� #Nanocellulose and Its Application in the #Food Industry ✍ Talita Szlapak Franco, et al. https://lnkd.in/guUpEtYh This work presents a review related to the obtainment of cellulose from different structures in agro-industrial residues, both for application in the food industry and for the reinforcement of other materials. Cellulose nanofibers are produced by the heart of palm (Bactris gasipaes) industry in Brazil and are used as a stabilizer in avocado oil emulsions; conversely, cellulose nanocrystals are produced in waste from the tequila industry (Agave tequilana Weber var. Azul) in Jalisco, Mexico, and are used for reinforcement applications.

These bioplastic bottles are made from #PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) which is a special compostable bioplastic. PLA is made of the lactic acids found in corn starch. The cap is made from Bio-PE which is a 100% natural product made from sugarcane, but this material is not compostable. Since the bottles are made out of PLA they are only suitable for cold liquids up to 50 °C. Even though the bottles are made from PLA which is a compostable material, the bottles are quite thick which makes them less suitable for composting since they will not compost in the required time of 9-12 weeks. The focus of the advantage of the use of PLA should be on the fact that they are 100% plant based and are therefor perfect to use for detox and fresh juices.

Activation of Charcoal: What It Is and the Benefits It Can Bring 🌿. Application of Activated Charcoal in Various Industries . Charcoal is much more than just fuel for barbecues . When subjected to the activation process, charcoal gains a set of unique properties that are utilized in various fields 🌐. What is the activation of charcoal? Activation is a process in which charcoal is treated using gas (most often steam or carbon dioxide) at high temperatures 🌡️. This process expands the porous structure of the charcoal and increases its surface area. As a result, the charcoal becomes "activated" and can absorb and retain substances from its surroundings . Benefits of activated charcoal : High adsorption capacity 🌬️. Due to its increased surface area, activated charcoal can absorb gases, liquids, and other substances, making it an ideal solution for purification and filtration 💧. Environmentally friendly 🌍. The production of activated charcoal is based on natural resources with minimal impact on the environment. Durability and cost-effectiveness. Despite the high initial cost, activated charcoal lasts long and can be regenerated ♻️. Applications of activated charcoal in various industries : Medicine 💊. Activated charcoal is often used to treat poisonings and diarrhea, as well as in detox programs . Water purification 🚰. It effectively removes organic pollutants, chlorine, and other undesirable substances from water . Food industry. In some countries, activated charcoal is added to food products to give them a particular taste or color. Cosmetics 💄. Activated charcoal is frequently included in masks, scrubs, and toothpastes due to its cleansing properties. Industry ⚙️. It's used to purify industrial effluents and air from various contaminants.
