BIOSTARCH

BIOSTARCH emerges as a Vietnamese company committed to tackling two critical challenges: food waste and plastic pollution. Vietnam boasts a thriving fruit and vegetable export industry, valued at $3.8 billion annually. However, a staggering 40% of this produce is lost due to inadequate post-harvest preservation methods. Furthermore, traditional plastic packaging contributes significantly to environmental waste.

BIOSTARCH's innovative solution addresses both concerns. Their flagship product, the Biological Preservation Bag, leverages Vietnamese ingenuity and resources. These bags are crafted from bioplastic resins derived from domestically produced industrial cassava starch, a readily available and renewable resource. BIOSTARCH's bioplastic granules combine cassava starch with a measured amount of petroleum-derived virgin plastic. This formulation reduces the reliance on traditional plastic by 40%, minimizing the environmental footprint. The bioplastics employed by BIOSTARCH boast a significantly shorter decomposition time compared to conventional plastics, breaking down within 2-5 years as opposed to hundreds of years. Independent international certifications verify that under natural conditions, these bioplastics will fully biodegrade through bacterial action and mineralization.

BIOSTARCH not only champions environmental sustainability but also economic empowerment. Their focus on industrial cassava starch elevates the value of this readily available crop, often used for animal feed and poverty reduction programs. By transforming cassava into a high-value material, BIOSTARCH contributes to propelling Vietnam's agricultural exports to new heights. This innovative approach fosters a sustainable value chain, benefiting farmers, manufacturers, and consumers alike. Ultimately, BIOSTARCH's Biological Preservation Bags provide a practical solution to the twin issues of post-harvest food loss and plastic waste pollution.

Founded in 2018, BIOSTARCH is a leading provider of bioplastic industry technology solutions. Their mission encapsulated in their motto "Make Globe Green" – "We exist for the Green Planet," underscores their unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility. BIOSTARCH aspires to become a prominent producer of biomaterials derived from Vietnam's abundant agricultural resources. Through continuous innovation and the implementation of cutting-edge technologies, BIOSTARCH strives to develop environmentally friendly materials, ensuring a healthier living environment for future generations.
