S.B.G - CIG Rubber + Bio-Plastics

 

S.B.G - CIG Rubber + Bio-Plastics

A GOAL IN SOURCING 

Using the C/M Automotove Build 

The ability to use Warehouse Grown & Sourced materials for 75-90% or more materials 

This includes bio-plastics & grown oils for hybrid rubber compounds 

Rubber trees, silo-farmed seaweed efforts for tires 

Efforts to grow foam material & all components top to bottom 

NOTES

This minimizes raw material & repurposed material external sourcing focusing on a zero-emissions - zero cycle or close to effort in grown efforts then harvest production for different purpose from In-House Energy creating minimal external reliance 

S.B.G & CIG become a resource supplier & effort for In-House branding relying on a local- regional + domestic first over international supply in an automated effort for Stockpiles in raw material choice 

The more we can do ourself the less we rely on market rate available product unit & supply or the variable of supply shortages 

Grown oil alternatives for rubber & plastic compounds then efforts for all part - components allows us an edge in industry utilizing the environmental- health focus effort with cost savings in excess yeilds 

This includes metals & grown expansion metals with "rare earth" metals for different purpose extending to stainless steel & aluminum production then copper + composites 

We then consider foams & glass or glass alternatives with different industry spec standard production 

MISCONCEPTIONS 

Crude fossil fuel oils are non-reneable & of use for non-combudtion yet bio-grown fast oil is possible easily through different efforts & can be used in rubber & bio-plastic prodiction voiding forever cehmicals in an environment process for foam, glass, plastics & rubber  

We do not require non-sustainable fossil fuel oils at all yet remaining Stockpiles can be used for combustion oil products that cna be repurposed 

Bio-based oils, like soybean oil and specialized oils like Nynas NYTEX BIO 6200, are increasingly used in tire manufacturing to improve sustainability and performance. These oils can replace traditional petroleum-based oils in rubber compounds, enhancing properties like low-temperature flexibility and reducing reliance on finite resources. 

Examples of Bio-based Oils in Tire Production:

Goodyear uses soybean oil in several of its popular tire models, including the Assurance® WeatherReady and Eagle Exhilarate. Soybean oil helps maintain tire elasticity across temperature ranges and can improve overall performance. 

• Nynas NYTEX BIO 6200:

This bio-based rubber process oil is designed to offer the same performance as traditional naphthenic oils while contributing to sustainability goals. It is compatible with various rubber formulations and complies with existing legislation, making it a viable alternative. 

• Other Bio-oils:

Other bio-based oils like tall oil, linseed oil, castor oil, orange oil, and vulcanized vegetable oil are also being explored and evaluated for their potential in tire applications. 

Benefits of Bio-based Oils:

• Sustainability:

Reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering the carbon footprint of tire production. 

• Performance:

Bio-based oils can offer comparable or even improved properties compared to traditional oils, such as better low-temperature flexibility and enhanced traction. 

• Cost-effectiveness:

Some bio-based oils, like Agri-Pure 22 soybean oil, offer a cost-effective solution for various tire applications. 

• Compatibility:

Bio-based oils are often compatible with existing rubber formulations and manufacturing processes, making them easier to integrate into production. 

Future Trends:

• The tire industry is expected to see increased adoption of bio-based oils as companies strive to meet sustainability targets.

SOYBEAN YIELD AVERAGES 

Bean yield reported by Agricorp for 2023 was 53 bushels per acre, exceeding the 10-year average by 5 bushels. This yield was achieved despite some challenges due to weather conditions. Agricorp also noted that corn yields were also impressive, averaging 202 bushels per acre, 10% higher than the 10-year average. 

Factors Influencing Soybean Yields:

• Genetics and Management:
Improvements in genetics and farming practices have driven significant increases in soybean yields over the past few decades. 

• Planting Date:

Planting soybeans earlier in the season can contribute to higher yields, especially when using full-season varieties. 

• Seeding Rate:

While 140,000 seeds per acre is often recommended, the final population depends on factors like germination, emergence, and pest pressure. 

• Variety Selection:

Choosing the right soybean variety for the specific growing conditions can impact yield. 

• Weather Conditions:

Weather patterns, such as rainfall and temperature, can significantly affect yields. 

• Management Practices:

Practices like using seed treatments, managing residue, and controlling diseases like white mold can also influence yield, according to the Iowa Soybean Association. 

Record-Breaking Yields:

• In 2024, a farmer in Georgia achieved a record-breaking soybean yield of 218.3 bushels per acre, according to BRANDT.co.

• This surpasses the previous record of 206.8 bu/ac, also held by the same farmer. 

ONE BRUSHEL OF SOYBEANS 

A bushel of soybeans, which weighs 60 pounds, yields various products including soybean oil, meal, flour, and protein concentrate. Specifically, it produces approximately 10.7 pounds of crude soy oil, 47.5 pounds of soybean meal, 39 pounds of soy flour, and 20 pounds of soy protein concentrate, according to the U.S. Soybean Export Council. A bushel also contains roughly 150,000 individual soybeans. 

Detailed Breakdown:

• Weight: A bushel of soybeans is defined as 60 pounds.

• Oil: A bushel yields about 10.7 pounds of crude soy oil.

• Meal: It produces approximately 47.5 pounds of soybean meal.

• Flour: A bushel contains around 39 pounds of soy flour.

• Protein Concentrate: It contains roughly 20 pounds of soy protein concentrate.

• Individual Beans: A single bushel contains about 150,000 soybeans. 

SOYBEANS GROWTH TIME 

3.5-4.5 Months then 2 weeks prep in & out leaving under 6 month yeilds  

It takes a soybean plant roughly 100 to 130 days, or 3.5 to 4.5 months, to mature and produce a bushel of soybeans. This timeframe can vary based on factors like variety, planting date, and weather conditions. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Planting to Maturity: Soybeans typically require 100-130 days to complete their growth cycle. 

• Maturity Groups: Different soybean varieties are classified into maturity groups (e.g., Group 4, Group 5). These groups can influence the length of the growing season. 

• Planting Date: Planting date significantly impacts the growing season. Earlier planting can result in longer days, potentially delaying flowering in some varieties. 

• Environmental Factors: Temperature and day length play a role in soybean development. Longer days can lead to taller plants with more nodes, potentially extending the time to maturity. 

• Yield Variation: While the general timeframe is consistent, actual yields can vary depending on various factors, including weather conditions, soil quality, and pest/disease management. 

• Bushel Definition: A bushel of soybeans weighs 60 pounds. 

• Plants per Bushel: It takes roughly 150,000 soybeans to make up a bushel. 

S.B.G & CIG YEILDS 

A per acree Silo-Farm effort can increase Yields with other accunulativr efforts at double - triple plus yields indoor separate from outdoor with yeilds at 200-400+ bushels rather than 50-200 industry outdoor averages  

In six months a standard facility can do 200-400+ or up to 1000 average yields per stacked vertical silo-farmed zero emission - zero cycle Soy Bean yeilds for use, market or Stockpiles 

That is 9200 bushels of 200 on 46 acres in a multi-faceted certified silo-farm effort with rodent run interior- exterior with automated crop monitoring & Emergency system including harvest 

That is 98,440 pounds of crude soy oil in 6 months while other options for use exist yet ueilds are likely over 100,000 lbs every 6 months at one facility 

INDUSTRY STANDARD OPINION 

100,000 pounds of crude soybean oil is equivalent to approximately 45,359.2 kilograms. A 60-pound bushel of soybeans yields about 11 pounds of oil. Therefore, 100,000 pounds of crude soybean oil would require roughly 545,455 bushels of soybeans. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Conversion: 1 pound is equal to 0.453592 kilograms. 

• Soybean Oil: A 60-pound bushel of soybeans produces about 11 pounds of oil. 

• Bushels Needed: To get 100,000 pounds of oil, you would need 100,000 / 11 = 9,090.91 bushels of soybeans. Since 60 pounds is one bushel, you would need (9,090.91 * 60) / 60 = 545,454.54 pounds of soybeans. 

• In kilograms: 545,454.54 pounds is equal to 247,414.86 kilograms. 

FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS 

Multiple other fast-grown yields provide similar or different yeild end points in a 6 - 12 month cycle 

For Milks & others Almond Yields are best or better in specific form for human consumption yet for Tires & raw materials Soy Beans serve a purpose

Almond milk is a plant-based milk substitute with a watery texture and nutty flavor manufactured from almonds, although some types or brands are flavored in imitation of cow's milk. It does not contain cholesterol or lactose and is low in saturated fat. 

Plant based options often disregard use for the leafy greens while focusing on what the plant produces like Almonds or Soy Beans

PLANT BASED MATERIALS 

Several plant-based materials can be grown as alternatives to traditional, petroleum-based plastics. These include bioplastics derived from sources like cornstarch, sugarcane, or algae, as well as materials like mushroom mycelium, seaweed, and even shrimp shells. These alternatives offer a more sustainable approach to packaging and product manufacturing by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting biodegradability.

Here's a more detailed look at some of these grown plastic alternatives:

1. Bioplastics:

• Definition:

Bioplastics are plastics derived from renewable biomass sources like cornstarch, sugarcane, or algae. 

• Examples:

• Starch-based bioplastics: Derived from potatoes, corn, or other starchy plants. 

• Polylactic acid (PLA): A biodegradable plastic derived from corn starch or sugar cane. 

• Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA): Produced by microorganisms, offering a completely compostable solution. 

• Algae-based plastics: Promising for their biodegradability and potential to reduce plastic production's reliance on fossil fuels. 

• Benefits:

Can be designed to biodegrade under specific conditions, reducing long-term waste. 
2. Mushroom Packaging (Mycelium):

• How it's grown: Mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms, is grown into a desired shape using agricultural waste like hemp hurd.

• Benefits: Strong, durable, and fully biodegradable, making it a good alternative to Styrofoam.

• Applications: Can be custom-molded for packaging, electronics, and even luxury products. 

3. Seaweed:

• How it's used: Seaweed can be used to create agar or other derivatives for packaging.

• Benefits: Highly renewable, grows quickly, and can degrade within a month.

• Potential: A small percentage of global seaweed production could replace all plastic bottles. 

4. Other Innovative Materials:

• Sugarcane Bagasse:

The fibrous residue left after sugarcane is crushed can be used to create packaging materials. 

• Coconut Husk:

Provides a natural and durable material for packaging and other applications. 

• Shrimp Shells (Shrilk):

A biodegradable plastic made from chitin, a material found in shrimp shells. 
These alternatives offer a more sustainable path for packaging and product manufacturing, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing environmental impact. 

• Crab Legs (Anti-Shatter):

An ethical formed crab effort with quality of life before harvest like other material based marine species can provide anti-shatter composite materials from legs
