About ReseamST
-
Reseam is a biomass plastic manufactured by blending corn starch. Deal with various molding methods such as Injection, blow and also sheet molding. It can reduce petroleum usage and deal with various molding method.
The point is using dent corn not a sweet corn to eat. Cultivating dent corn can contribute to the environment.
Such as absorption of CO2 and soil improvement. 
Why Use Corn?
Stable supply
Corn is cultivated most among three major grains in the world (rice, wheat, and corn). Can use without worrying about supply and cost variation because of high production output.
Efficient cultivation
Corn which is cultivated all over the world is good at growth speed and photosynthetic efficiency.
