Presentation Transcript

  1. Biodegradation of Natural Polymers Gamini Seneviratne PhD Institute of Fundamental Studies (IFS) Hantana Kandy

  2. Natural Polymers Products of Plant Origin found in leaves, wood etc. e.g. Fibers (Cellulose, Lignin etc.) -CHO-CHO-CHO-CHO-CHO-CHO-

  3. Biodegradation Microbes attack the polymer chain by using enzymes Microbe Enzymes Carbon dioxide Water -CHO-CHO-CHO- CO2 & H2O

  4. Problem with Polythene (Synthetic Polymer) -CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH- No Oxygen (O) Microbes cannot attack!

  5. NaturPlus Like Natural Polymers Does not contain Polythene -CHO-CHO-CHO-CHO-CHO-CHO-

  6. NaturPlus - Easily Decomposable - Compostable - Used as organic fertilizer

  7. Use NaturPlus To replace Polythene from our Environment

  8. Thank you
