Produção de chapa plástica a partir do endocarpo de murumuru (astrocaryum murumuru mart.) e poliolefinas recicladas.

Abstract

In the Amazon, a huge amount of non-wood lignocellulosic waste is obtained from the production of oils and butters from pressing of seeds and almonds. The economic and productive viability of plastic sheet has the proposal to close the production cycle of murumuru assets (Astrocaryum murumuru Mart), the two largest companies producing murumuru butter in the metropolitan region of Belem generated 410ton of tegument in the biennium (2019/2020), from the extraction of butter for the cosmetic industry. It also seeks to contribute more options for recycling high-density polyethylene (PEAD) and polypropylene (PP) packaging, used in the storage of oils. The objective of this work was achieved through the production process of plastic plates with properties compatible with the plates currently marketed, positive implications for the environment.
