Title:
BIO-COMPOSITE AND BIOPLASTIC MATERIALS AND METHODS OF USE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/078391
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A bio-composite material comprises protein-containing non-wood fibrous biomass comprising at least 6 wt% protein, and a cross-linking agent. The bio-composite material may optionally further contain wood biomass, or non-protein-containing non-wood biomass, and is formable into a bio-composite board to replace wood-based boards for a variety of applications. A bioplastic material comprises a bioadhesive, fibrous biomass and a plastic material, and is formable into a variety of products, such as a cup, using conventional plastic processing techniques. Suitable fibrous biomass may include used coffee grounds and a variety of other biomass. A method of forming a board from a bio-composite material, and a method of manufacturing a bioplastic are also provided.
