Tableware made by Bamboo fibers can be composted at household which brings 281 times of profit.

Under the plastic restriction policy, people have expected PLA materials to be the substitute of traditional petrochemical raw materials.
However, it cannot be easily decomposed under some strict degradation conditions. It ended up causing more environmental problems.
The team lead by Dr. Xu Dun-Ying, a professional from the Industrial Research Institute, has innovated a bamboo fiber masterbatch over 10 years' work. This material can be decomposed simply by household compost and used to replace the plastics.
By investing in the original petroleum-based production equipment, this material can be manufactured through extrusion, blowing and injection process. This technology is applied to make products such as tableware, straws, food containers as well as electronic packaging trays. Nowadays, bamboo fiber products are commonly seen and used in many airlines, al-Mart grocery stores in the United States as well as the supermarkets and whole stale stores in Taiwan. We are making bamboo a green gold for a promising future.
