17 - Ironing a bioplastic bag

Ironing method

Production option 1 Ironing

1. Cook the bioplastic recipe at no more than 80 degrees, 30 minutes per liter.

2. Pour a layer of the hot liquid on a flat surface and try to spread it equally.

3. You wait for 5 to 7 days until the sheet gets dry and strong.

4. You carefully cut the sheets out in a size of one bag layer. Make it easy for you to transport the sheet.

5. Cut out another sheet in the same size.

6. Prepare your iron and make sure you have some baking paper as under ground.

7. Cut a sheet of baking paper in a smal les size than your bioplastic sheets. This is the surface that won’t melt. Don’t forget to add a little on the

opening of the bag so the bag is

openable.

8. Place your first bio plastic sheet on the iron table.

9. Place the cut out baking paper on the first bio plastic sheet. Make sure the edges are not covered with baking paper.

10. Place the second bioplastic sheet on the first layer and the baking paper. Make sure everything lays perfectly.

11. Lay another layer of baking paper under your iron, instead of a towel and iron the edges of the bag.

12. Make sure that the edges are melted on eacht other.

13. Let the bag dry for one day.

14. If you won’t use the bag immediatly

I should change the baking paper in the bag for normal paper and let it dry for one or two days, so the bag won’t become extra moisture.
