Bangalore, April 8: Avesthagen Limited, a leading knowledge-based Life Sciences Company and its joint venture partner Limagrain, launched an eco-friendly and biodegradable plastic for the Indian market on Tuesday.

This biodegradable plastic is manufactured from whole cereal grains, mainly wheat, maize and a number of specific Limagrain varieties.

The product's innovation lies in the combination of cereal fractions with a biodegradable polymer. Unlike the usual non-degradable plastic material, this alternate plastic introduced by Avesthagen and Limagrain, breaks down and becomes compost in a matter of 120 days in industrial composting conditions, it said in a release in Bangalore.
