Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the container capable of being conveniently discarded without adversely affecting the environment by using a biodegradable plastic. CONSTITUTION:The biodegradable plastic is a plastic which is decomposed to carbon dioxide and water within two or three years by the action of microbes living in the soil or sea. The container is formed from this biodegradable plastic. Concretely, the forming material is heated, melted, injected into the cavity of a previously closed metallic mold, solidified or hardened to form the container. This plastic container has approximately the same preservability and drop strength as the container made of high-density PE.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Processing agent containers for silver halide photographic materials (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as photographic materials) are generally made of polyethylene. The used containers are disposed of by incineration or landfill, or recycled (including remolding).

However, in recent years, as environmental problems have become more serious, various restrictions have arisen on disposal methods and reuse. For example, when plastic is incinerated, the amount of heat generated is large and can damage the furnace, and new equipment investment is required to strengthen the furnace's capacity. Regarding landfilling, the increase in waste in urban areas has led to the shortage of landfill sites, and problems such as waste being transported to other prefectures for landfilling and illegal dumping are also occurring. Furthermore, recycling for resource saving also requires transportation costs, and remolding requires capital investment.
