Blow Moulding<br />
Vinçotte (Belgium). The bottles did not show sufficient<br />
disintegration due to the necessary thickness that the<br />
bottles must maintain to fulfill the structural functionality.<br />
Economic analysis<br />
The economic study revealed that producing newbiodegradable<br />
packages for dairy products is still not<br />
competitive in price with the existing packages due to<br />
the current price of biodegradable raw materials. Market<br />
studies predict a decrease in their price because of an<br />
increase in the global demand and production. Thus,<br />
biodegradable market trends foresee a positive scenario<br />
for the BIOBOTTLE packages commercialization in 5 years<br />
time.<br />
Important is that the cost of the final product with the<br />
new biodegradable packages increases less than 10 % in<br />
the different packages developed.<br />
