SMS has highlighted the vital key ‘the Functional Thermoplastic Starch Solution for CO2 Emissions Reduction by Dr. Siwarutt Boonyaratanakalin (Assistant Innovation Director).

SMS TAPIOPLAST® TPS is a functional bioplastic resin derived from natural cassava. It is engineered to lead the way to sustainability by providing fast biodegradation and bio-content at a more affordable price than other biodegradable polymers.

Besides its versatility of leaving zero waste to the environment, it also helps reduce the emission of CO2 in our ecosystem. Starch is a renewable biomass, synthesized naturally by plants using clean solar energy and carbon dioxide from the air. It is a natural carbon-capturing mechanism without consuming fossil energy.

We are delighted to have been invited to this impactful seminar. As a modified tapioca starch manufacturer, we remain steadfast in our commitment to advancing starch innovation to achieve a sustainable world.
