A composition consisting of BSG and PLA is produced by the following steps: processing brewer's spent grains; mixing the BSG with the PLA at a specific proportion; the BSG and the PLA are well mixed by a binder and then subjected to a granulation process to form plastic granules. Adding BSG to the PLA can reduce the use of PLA. Furthermore, the composition consisting of BSG and PLA and the method for making the same are further utilized to make utensils, bottles, cans, containers, parts and other biological plastic products to achieve the purpose of adding value to the BSG.

Composition consisting of brewer's spent grains and polylactic acid

A method for manufacturing a composition consisting of brewer's spent grains and polylactic acid includes the steps of: providing a raw material containing brewer's spent grains; providing a raw material containing polylactic acid; mixing the brewer's spent grains with the polylactic acid at a specific proportion; and providing a binder to enable the brewer's spent grains and the polylactic acid to be well mixed, and to maintain a desired tensile strength. A pretreatment unit includes a dehydration process, a desiccation process, a drying process, a grinding process and a sieving process. A granulator includes a double screw extruder connected with a cutting machine. The double screw extruder mixes the PLA material and the brewer's spent grains and extrudes them into plastic bars which are then cut into plastic granules by the cutting machine.

Composition consisting of brewer's spent grains and polylactic acid and a method for making the same

A bio-plastic composite containing brewer's spent grains, comprising: addition amounts of 10%&#x2dc;60% brewer's spent grains, 40%&#x2dc;90% petrochemical plastic, wherein the brewer's spent grains have a length-to-diameter ratio of 7.6 to 10.2.

Bio-plastic composite containing brewer's spent grains

A method for manufacturing bio-plastic composite containing brewer's spent grains includes the steps of: providing brewer's spent grains; providing petrochemical plastic; mixing the brewer's spent grains with the petrochemical plastic at an addition amount of 10% to 60% wt. of brewer's spent grains and 40% to 90% wt. of petrochemical plastic; and providing a binder at a weight proportion of 8% to 12%. A pretreatment unit which uses a dehydration process, a desiccation process, a drying process, a grinding process and a sieving process to process the brewer's spent grains into brewer's spent grains which have a length-to-diameter ratio of 7.6 to 10.2. A granulator includes a double screw extruder connected with a cutting machine. The double screw extruder mixes the petrochemical plastic and the brewer's spent grains and extrudes them into plastic bars, which are then cut into plastic granules by the cutting machine.
