Abstract: A bioplastic composition may contain certain biodegradable and renewable components. In some examples, the bioplastic composition includes at least one kind of aquatic macrophyte biomass, which may contain a native composition of protein and carbohydrates, in a blend with one or more types of biodegradable or durable thermoplastic polymers. The aquatic macrophyte composition may provide a balance of both polymeric and reinforcing properties to the blended bioplastic not typically exhibited by terrestrial feedstock such as soy meal or corn starch. Such a bioplastic composition may be formed into molded articles using extrusion, injection molding, compression molding, or the like.

Abstract: A cellulose acylate-based dope, which has an exothermic peak giving a calorific value of 1 to 10 J/g (inclusive), between 0 and 40° C.; wherein collected wastes of cellulose acylate which are obtained by collecting and crushing a cellulose acylate film edge trimmed when raw material of the film is cast, are used in an amount of 5 to 60% by weight of the whole of the cellulose acylate or; wherein the dope comprises a solvent, wherein a recovery solvent is used in an amount of 20 to 100% of the entire solvent and; a cellulose acylate film produced by using the same.

Abstract: A cellulose acylate film formed from a solution of cellulose acylate contains a solvent of the solution at 0.1-0.6 wt. %, and acids at less than 500 ppm. The solvent is composed of at least one of esters and ketones, and further a recycled solvent recycled from the solution. In order to produce the cellulose acylate film, the solution is applied on a dope band moving in a direction, and dried to contain the solvent between 10-80 wt. % to the cellulose acylate. Thus a film-like material is formed from the solution, and peeled from the dope band. Thereafter the film-like material is further dried to form the cellulose acylate film containing the solvent at between 0.1 and 0.6 wt. %.
