Bioplastic from seaweed

-
An aquatic plant with many benefits. It Does not need lands as other feedstock and seaweed has good speed ofproduction.
It does not take place of food for bio plastics or bio fuels.
in 3 years seaweed biodiesel price for gallon changed from US$ 100,00 to US$ 2,00. 2007 - 2010. Price in the future will be more viable. It may affects bioplastic costs of production.
The Irish government is investing in seaweed production + EU has a program of investing in bio plastic areas till the year 2020.
The increase of PLA production from 2012 to 2017 is going to be over 2/3.

Detailed process of lactic acid production
Seaweed is dryed
Milled
There is a process of separation of polysaccharides
The monosacharide is broken
And it turns in many molecules of glucose
The glucose pass for a process of fermentation or
chemical sintesis and it turns in Lactic acid
