Assessment of Economic Advantages of Implementation of Technology for Production of Manufactured Articles from Biodegradable Materials

Abstract

The article is concerned with the study of the situation on disposable tableware market in terms of modern environmental problems and economic realities. The process of formation of this industry on the territory of Russia and modern problems of its functioning are considered. Much attention is paid to considering the specifics of making a business in this area. An assessment of the economic benefits of introducing a technology for the production of manufactured articles from biodegradable materials based on a reduction in the production of disposable plastic tableware with a subsequent transition to the use of biodegradable samples has been made. Under the influence of various factors, the disintegration of tableware made of biodegradable materials occurs in a month. The main components from the point of view of raw materials are the following: corn starch, polypropylene, food additives. The basis is corn starch, its share is at least 72%. This type of raw material has all the necessary qualities and the most important criterion is absolute safety for the consumer. The content of polypropylene in this type of production is insignificant and, in combination with other materials, it becomes biodegradable. Strength and durability can also be noted as the advantages of this tableware.
