Ecofriendly Material

Biodegradable material: Plant Cellulose  Nowadays, plastic products such as toys, stationaries and disposable tableware are not decomposable. They often end up being incinerated, discarded into the ocean, or buried in the soil. This causes pollution to the environment and can harm or even kill living organisms. Therefore, many countries have had to impose restrictions the use of plastic products and enforce recycling regulations to reduce the amount of plastic waste generated by the public annually.  In addition to utilizing GRS-certified materials in plastic injection molding, Guan Lin Industrial has been incorporating plant cellulose in monofilament and plastic injection molding. Plant cellulose is a type of thermoplastic resin obtained though the esterification of natural raw materials. It can be decomposed into glucose and acetate in water and soil, ultimately transforming into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), which can be absorbed by nature. This allows Guan Lin Industrial to advance forward the goal of sustainability.   

Application–Ski Goggles  Skiing is an exhilarating and popular winter sport that offers athletes an incredible sense of thrill and challenge as they glide down snowy slopes in the mountains or on ski trails.  Due to the varied terrain in the mountain, skiers will put on ski goggles to ensure clear vision and safety.  The lenses of ski goggles are generally made of polycarbonate (PC) which is characterized by its transparency. It provides skiers excellent visibility. However, during intense physical activity, sweat and temperature difference between inside and outside of the goggles can cause fogging on the lenses. Common ways of dealing with fog include using anti-fog sprays, applying anti-fog coating and incorporating ventilation ports. Plant cellulose offers a better solution.  Due to its high-water absorption property, lenses made of plant cellulose can absorbed the fog by itself. Additionally, the transparent characteristic of plant cellulose can provide skiers fabulous vision during skiing as well. These outstanding advantages make plant cellulose an exceptional material choice for producing ski goggle lenses.      

Application-Biodegradable Disposable Tableware Nowadays, the public has become highly dependent on plastic utensils because of their advantages such as availability, low price and disposability. However, since these plastic wastes cannot be decomposed by nature, they often end up being incinerated or buried, leading to air and environmental pollution. Different from disposable plastic utensils, Guan Lin Industrial applies plant cellulose in developing and producing disposable tableware which is decomposable in water and soil after used by consumers. When decomposable tableware is disposed, it will be decomposed into water and carbon dioxide and become part of the nature in a harmless way.  The plant cellulose that Guan Lin Industrial applied is a TÜV AUSTRIA-certified compost. It allows users to enjoy the convenience in daily lives and be friendly to the environment simultaneously.
