MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611058274 A) filed by Ecovative Innovations Pvt Ltd on May 07, 2026, for A Method For Manufacturing Biodegradable Plant-Based Packing Peanuts With Enhanced Structural Performance.

Inventors include Akash Singh; and Adesh Ghisare.

The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method (100) for manufacturing biodegradable plant-based packing peanuts with enhanced structural performance, the method (100) comprises preparing (102) a plant-based polymer composition. The method also includes conditioning (104) the processable mixture. The method also includes subjecting (106) the conditioned feed material to a controlled expansion process using extrusion or expansion techniques to generate a porous and cellular structure. The method also includes regulating (108) process parameters including pressure, temperature, and expansion rate to tune density, porosity, and mechanical strength of the cellular structure. The method also includes shaping (110) the expanded material into discrete loose-fill packing elements of desired size and geometry. The method also includes post-processing (112) the shaped packing elements by performing drying, curing, or stabilization to enhance structural integrity. The method also includes evaluating (114) the packing elements to ensure desired performance characteristics including shock absorption, resilience, and load distribution.
