Description

COMPOSTABLE BIODEGRADABLE SUBSTRATE FOR TERRESTRIAL PLANTS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention: The invention relates generally to compositions, and more specifically to a soil-plant based composition having sustainable, environmentally friendly properties, which can be effectively used to produce bioplastic without the use of thermoplastic plasticizers or starch additives, by using organic, sustainable, renewable or recyclable material sources to produce a bioplastic-biopolymer resin masterbatch for use in durable goods, food and beverage containers, cosmetic and healthcare packaging, medical devices, automotive materials, all types of packaging materials and any other related applications that are currently made from petroleum based plastic materials. 2. Description of the Related Technique Petroleum-based resins, such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, nylon, polyolefin, and plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and many other similar or related petroleum-based resins, are widely used today for a wide range of applications, such as packaging materials, automotive parts, household appliances, toys, and the like. However, these petroleum-based resins are not compostable or biodegradable, resulting in environmental harm in the form of greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, landfill problems, oceans filled with plastic, and human health problems. In response to these effects, scientists and engineers have sought to develop biopolymers (resins based on biological materials), typically polylactic acid (PLA) resins. PLA resins have become popular and are widely considered an alternative to petroleum-based plastics. However, there are several problems, challenges, and limitations with using PLA resin for durable goods and other plastic products. PLA resin has temperature issues and melts in sunlight or at elevated temperatures such as hot water, or is destroyed in a microwave oven, making it unusable in products that are dishwasher-safe. If a PLA bottle is left in a car in hot summer temperatures, that bottle would melt, disintegrating into a messy, gooey mess in that environment. PLA is also brittle, making it unusable in durable goods applications. PLA resin is also difficult to injection mold and does not process well on existing injection molding equipment. It is also not durable in cold temperatures. There are many challenges in trying to blow mold or extrude PLA resin. To blow mold PLA resin, a chemical additive may be added, which consequently contaminates PLA's bio-based property. Furthermore, during processing, PLA resin must be pre-dried in an oven before use in a plastics industry application, such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, etc. This, for example, increases labor, equipment, and energy costs. PLA also cannot be recycled with other plastics, such as PE. On the other hand, another problem is the high costs associated with producing a polylactic acid (PLA) resin, and its current limited supply, coupled with its limited capacity as a bioplastic for durable goods, makes this alternative to a petroleum-based plastic economically unviable. Additionally, polylactic acid (PLA) resins suffer from poor durability, poor high-temperature or low-temperature strength, and lack moisture-resistant barriers or the need for flexibility for certain applications, such as high-impact durable goods, packaging films, bottles, automotive parts, cosmetic packaging, and toys, just to name a few of the problems with using PLA for industrial and consumer goods. The mechanical properties of PLA resin and also PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) resin are insufficient compared to petroleum-based resins (e.g., high flow rates of both PLA and PHA make them unsuitable for blow molding; unsuitable for durable goods). It has been suggested and common for low molecular weight flexibilizers or plasticizers to be added to PLA or PHA resins, which are not organic / bio-based, or additives to be added to slow melt flow, which, again, are chemicals that are not bio-based / organic materials. However, products made from PLA or PHA, such as packaging films, straws, consumer products, still exhibit poor stability, brittleness, temperature issues, and humidity issues, which cause the resin to become brittle. The use of PLA and PHA is disadvantageous. Furthermore, the test revealed that the currently available additives render the resulting compositions non-biodegradable, non-compostable, and not from a sustainable or renewable material source. Alternatively, the Green PE (e.g., I'm GreenMR) - Green polyethylene, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or other green copolymers that could be derived from an organic, sustainable, renewable material source such as sugarcane, beet or corn have been employed in compositions as an alternative to petroleum-based polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate and other petroleum-based polymers. These green (plant-based) polymers such as PE, PP, PET, combine high performance and processability. Plastics made from Green PE, Green PP, Green PET and other polymers are recyclable in a similar manner to conventional plastic polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate products, and Green PE, PP, PET polymers are also known as a sustainable, renewable material source and therefore provide the ability to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.However, Green polymers such as Green PE, Green PP and Green PET are not. MA / / O / ÓO biodegradable or compostable and can still contribute to landfill and ocean pollution. No economically feasible technology has been developed to produce a truly green PE, PP, or PET that is biodegradable or biocompostable. Global annual production of petroleum polymer resins will exceed 317.8 billion kilograms (700 billion pounds) by 2020 and there will still be no viable, renewable, sustainable, biodegradable and biocompostable resin solution for the ongoing global tsunami of plastic waste stream entering landfills, oceans, rivers, and the atmosphere. Similarly, a stone-based copolymer substrate resin has been developed as a replacement composition for tree-based paper, hard paper, and limited plastic goods. More particularly, this substrate resin relates to a lime-based copolymer substrate, which can be used as a replacement composition for limited goods currently manufactured from tree-based or petroleum-based substances. Due to the fragility of the stone-based copolymer substrate resin and its inability to be applied in the manufacture of films, flexible products, which are used for extrusion products, and also for extrusion from a blow mold, the resin cannot generally be used to replace petroleum-based plastic products.On the other hand, stone-based resin contains a high concentration of calcium carbonate (CaCOa), which ranges from approximately fifty to eighty-five percent (50-85%) by weight and generally varies in diameter from 2 to 4 microns. Due to the presence of calcium carbonate, products made from stone-based resin suffer from disadvantages such as increased brittleness, cloudiness, a further decrease in transparency, and decreased flexibility and durability. Thus, there have been many limitations in the fields and applications to which this resin is applicable. Due to the limitations of previous attempts, the plastics currently available on the market are still typically petroleum-based, which requires large amounts of processing energy and cost to produce. Unfortunately, petroleum is derived from crude oil, and its supply is often limited and in high demand. Furthermore, crude oil is not a renewable material. What's worse, petroleum-based plastic products are typically not biodegradable or biocompostable, creating a huge global environmental problem. ML / í O l JO includes causing disposal problems once the product has been used. Overall, no truly sustainable bioplastic material has been developed that can be economically scaled for mass production, is economically feasible, and can be used to replace a wide range of petroleum-based plastic products used in the global market today. Therefore, there is a need to solve the problems described above by providing an economically feasible compostable and biodegradable soil-based composition with environmentally friendly properties and scalable methods for global resin manufacturing. The aspects or problems and associated solutions presented in this section could have been or could have been sought; it is not necessarily claimed that they were previously conceived or sought. Therefore, unless otherwise indicated, it should not be assumed that any of the approaches presented in this section qualify as prior art simply by virtue of their presence in this section of the application. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This summary is provided to present a ML / / 0 / 00 a simplified selection of concepts that are further set forth later in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key or essential aspects of the content claimed. Furthermore, this Summary is not intended for use as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed content. In one aspect, a compostable biodegradable soil-plant-based composition (EarthPCB™) is provided comprising a blended substrate composition of soil and copolymers. The composition may be provided with ethanol-based green polyethylene (e.g., I'm Green™ polyethylene) at about fifteen percent to seventy-five percent (15-75%) by weight. The composition may also include calcium carbonate (CaCOa) at about fifteen to sixty percent (15-60%) by weight. The composition may also include hemp tow, which is 100% biodegradable and recyclable, and may be provided at two percent to seventy-five percent (2-75%) by weight. The composition may also include starch, which is 100% biodegradable itself and may be provided at about twenty percent to sixty percent (20-60%) by weight.EarthPCBMR resin may also include a biodegradable additive of approximately zero point five percent to ten percent. MA / í O l JO percent (0.5-10%) by weight. In this way, one advantage of the EarthPCBMR substrate may be that the resulting products are as strong or stronger than petroleum-based plastic, while also being compostable, biodegradable, recyclable, and non-toxic to the environment. In another aspect, a compostable biodegradable soil-plant based composition is provided, wherein the composition may include soy protein, soy polyols, or soy plastic provided at about two percent to ten percent (2 to 10%) by weight. The EarthPCB™ resin may be provided with the soy protein replacing the hemp tow, resulting in a composition comprising ethanol-based Green polyethylene, calcium carbonate, soy protein, a biodegradation additive (e.g., EcoPure®), and starch. Thus, an advantage of the EarthPCB™ composition with the substituted soy protein may be that the resulting products are as strong as or stronger than the petroleum-based plastic, yet are compostable, biodegradable, recyclable, and environmentally non-toxic.An additional advantage may be that the components that make up EarthPCBMR are widely available and cost-effective, making the resin an affordable and renewable alternative to petroleum-based plastic resins. In another aspect, a method is provided for making a compostable biodegradable soil-plant-based composition. The EarthPCBMR resin may comprise an ethanol-based PE, calcium carbonate, hemp tow, starch, biodegradation additive, soy protein, and biopolymer. The method for producing the compostable biodegradable soil-plant-based composition may involve first grinding the substrate copolymers into a fine powder, wherein each particle of the powder is about 0.25 to 3.0 micrometers (microns) in diameter. The green polyethylene may be ground to a fine powder of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns, and the calcium carbonate of the substrate may be ground to a fine powder of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns, and the two powders may be mechanically mixed together to form a first mixture. The hemp tow of the substrate may be ground to a fine powder of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns and mechanically mixed and dry-blended with the first mixture to form a second mixture. The substrate starch may then be ground to a fine granular powder of approximately 0.25 to 3.0 microns and mechanically mixed and dry-blended with the second mixture to form a third mixture. The substrate biodegradation additive may be ground to a fine granular powder of approximately 0.25. ML / / 0 / 00 to 3.0 microns and then mechanically mixed and dry blended with the third blend, to form the final EarthPCBMR composition. The biopolymer may then be heated to between about 104 and 182°C (220 and 360 degrees Fahrenheit (°F)) to achieve thermodynamic activation of the biopolymer, thereby forming a polymeric resin blend. In this manner, an advantage of the method for producing the EarthPCBMR substrate may be that all of the resin blend components are uniformly dry blended without the need for heat to be applied during the mixing process. An additional advantage of the method for producing the EarthPCBMR substrate may be that the manufacturing process requires relatively low energy input. In another aspect, an exemplary method is provided for producing a compostable biodegradable soil-plant based substrate resin in granulated form. The method for producing the EarthPCBMR substrate copolymer may be provided with an ethanol-based Green polyethylene of about 50 to 65% by weight, starch of about 30 to 50% by weight, and a biodegradation additive of about 2 to 10% by weight. The method for producing the EarthPCBMR substrate copolymer may include first milling each substrate copolymer separately into fine powders of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns. These fine powders may then be ML / í O l JO combined evenly in a mechanical mixer for approximately 5 to 25 minutes for each powder, adding each substrate copolymer one by one during the mixing process. The fine powders are then dry blended without heat in the mechanical mixer. Once all three substrate copolymers have been mechanically agitated together dry, the entire substrate blend may be heated to a temperature between approximately 104 and 182°C (220 and 360°F) to achieve thermodynamic activation, thereby establishing cohesion between each substrate copolymer and resulting in a substrate resin. Finally, the substrate resin may be cured at a temperature between approximately 121 and 182°C (250 and 360°F) to form a pelletized bioplastic that may be used in various manufacturing processes for the generation of bioplastic products.Thus, one advantage of the method for producing the substrate resin may be that the resin can be used as a material to form numerous types of food and beverage containers, packaging, film, and similar plastic products. An additional advantage of the method may be that the resulting products will be recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable. In one aspect, a compostable biodegradable composition based on soil-plants is provided. ML / / 0 / 00 (EarthPCBMR) comprising a composition of combined earth and copolymer substrates. The composition may be provided with an ethanol-based Green polyethylene made from different types of organic materials such as Earth polyethylene or ethanol-based Green polyethylene from corn, sugarcane, sugar beet, cellulosic material, or other plants (e.g., EarthPEMR). The above aspects or examples and advantages, as well as other aspects or examples and advantages, will become apparent from the following description.

MA / / 0 / 00 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The following is a description of various aspects, embodiments, and / or examples in which the invention can be practiced. Reference is made to the accompanying drawings, and the information included in the drawings is part of this detailed description. The aspects, embodiments, and / or examples described herein are presented for exemplification, not limitation. It should be understood that one of ordinary skill in the art could make logical modifications without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. It should be understood that, for clarity of the drawings and specification, some or all of the details concerning some components or steps that are known in the field are not shown or described unless they are necessary for the invention to be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art. For the following description, it can be assumed that most of the correspondingly labeled elements throughout the figures possess the same characteristics and are subject to the same structure and function. If there is a difference between correspondingly labeled elements that is not noted, and this difference results in a non-corresponding structure or function of an element for a particular embodiment, example, or aspect, then the conflicting description provided for that particular embodiment, example, or aspect shall govern. The present invention relates to a plant-based earth-based composition (EarthPCBMR) and methods having environmentally friendly properties, which can be effectively used to replace petroleum-based plastic. The EarthPCBMR composition may include additional advantageous properties, such as improved strength in bioplastic material, improved flexibility, moisture resistance, oxygen barrier, potential biodegradable properties, and compostability. The materials forming the EarthPCBMR composition are also widely available and have a relatively low cost. As will be set forth in this description, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise a polymeric resin composition of soil-based materials, a plant-based material resin comprising a hard granulated resin segment and soft segments.The hard granulated resin segment may comprise calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and the soft segments may comprise starch, hemp tow, an ethanol-based green polyethylene, and a well-known biodegradation additive (e.g., EcoPure™). These segments may make it possible for products made from the EarthPCB™ resin to be compostable and biodegradable after use, while also being non-toxic. In this way, one advantage may be that the compostable, soil-plant resin-based bioplastic could be used to replace petroleum-based plastics currently used in food and beverage packaging, as well as other types of consumer products. In one aspect, the EarthPCBMR composition may be provided with an ethanol-based Green polyethylene of about fifteen percent to seventy-five percent (15-75%) by weight in a preferred finely ground powder form of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns (microns). The EarthPCBMR resin substrate may also be provided with CaCO3 of about fifteen to sixty percent (15 to 60%) by weight of a fine powder generally in the preferred approximate diameter of 0.25-3.0 microns. The presence of calcium carbonate in the EarthPCBMR composition may be advantageous for particular applications where a white plastic is desirable, such as in pill bottles, shampoo bottles, etc. Because calcium carbonate is naturally white, it may decrease the need for white colorant, which may decrease the production cost of the EarthPCBMR composition for these applications.An additional advantage is that the EarthPCBMR composition uses lower concentrations of calcium carbonate than those of stone-based resins, which makes the EarthPCBMR composition less brittle. The EarthPCBMR resin substrate may also be provided with hemp tow of about two to seventy-five percent (2-75%) by weight ground into a fine powder of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns, as an example. The use of hemp tow to produce plastic may be a much better option than petroleum-based plastic because it is 100% biodegradable and recyclable. The EarthPCBMR resin substrate may also include starch, which is derived from starch granules originating in plants (e.g., potatoes, wheat, rice, corn, cassava). The starch may be provided at about twenty percent to sixty percent (20-60%) by weight ground into a fine powder of particles of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns. Finally, EarthPCBMR resin can be provided with a biodegradation additive of approximately zero point five percent to ten percent (0.5-10%) by weight ground into a fine powder of approximately 0.25 to 3.0 microns, for example. The biodegradation additive enables products formed with the EarthPCBMR composition to be biodegradable within 60 to 180 days under anaerobic conditions in accordance with ASTM D5511 (standard test method for anaerobic biodegradation of plastic materials). As well as to be compostable in 30 to 90 days under anaerobic conditions. ML / / 0 / 00 anaerobic. Thus, one advantage of EarthPCBMR's composition could be that bioplastic products made from the resin are as strong or stronger than petroleum plastic, and are also compostable, biodegradable, recyclable, and environmentally friendly. It should be understood that within the ranges described above, various EarthPCBMR compositions can be formulated. Of the five components described above, testing revealed that three of the five components are crucial to obtaining a suitable EarthPCBMR composition. These three components are ethanol-based Green polyethylene, starch, and biodegradation additive. In one example, one may choose to combine 75% by weight of Green polyethylene with 20% by weight of starch and 5% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another example, one may choose to combine the above five components in a single composition, ensuring that the ratio of each component is within the range described above for each component, and that the total of the ratios equals 100%, for example as follows: 40% by weight of Green polyethylene, 20% by weight of calcium carbonate, 15% by weight of hemp tow, 24.5% by weight of starch, and 0.5% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another aspect, the EarthPCBMR composition can be provided with soy protein as a substitute for the hemp tow feedstock. The EarthPCBMR composition with substituted soy protein can thus comprise about two to ten percent (2-10%) of soy protein by weight ground into a fine powder of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns in diameter. The remaining biopolymers (e.g., starch and Green polyethylene) can be provided in the same weight amounts and of the same particle diameters previously described. Thus, an advantage of the EarthPCBMR composition with substituted soy protein can be that products made with the resin are as strong as or stronger than petroleum plastic, and are compostable, biodegradable, recyclable, and non-toxic to the environment. The EarthPCBMR resin described above can be produced from the following preferred formulations. A first exemplary formulation of the EarthPCBMR composition can comprise 25% by weight of calcium carbonate, 12% by weight of hemp tow, 17.5% by weight of Green polyethylene, 45% by weight of starch, and 0.5% by weight of EcoPure® additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCB™ composition may comprise 25% by weight of calcium carbonate, 2% by weight of hemp tow, 27.5% by weight of Green polyethylene, 45% by weight of starch, and 0.5% by weight of EcoPure™ additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 25% by weight of calcium carbonate, 6% by weight of hemp tow, 23.5% by weight of Green polyethylene, 45% by weight of starch, and 0.5% by weight of EcoPureMR additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 20% by weight of calcium carbonate, 2% by weight of hemp tow, 45% by weight of Green polyethylene, 32% by weight of starch, and 1% by weight of EcoPure* additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCB™ composition may comprise 60% by weight of Green polyethylene, 37% by weight of starch, and 3% by weight of EcoPure™ additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 25% by weight of calcium carbonate, 2% by weight of hemp tow, 27.5% by weight of Green polyethylene, 45% by weight of starch, and 0.5% by weight of EcoPureMR additive. In a final example formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 25% by weight calcium carbonate, 2% by weight soy protein, 27.5% by weight Green polyethylene, 45% by weight starch, and 0.5% by weight EcoPure® additive. As shown by the preferred formulas ML / / 0 / 00 above, it would be necessary for at least three of the substrate copolymers to be used to achieve a resin that is both biodegradable and compostable. Those three substrate copolymers would be Green polyethylene at about fifty to seventy percent (50 to 70%) by weight, starch at about thirty to fifty percent (30 to 50%) by weight, and biodegradation additive (e.g., EcoPure™) at about two to ten percent (2 to 10%) by weight. Thus, one advantage of the EarthPCB™ composition disclosed herein may be that bioplastic products made from the EarthPCB™ resin may be compostable, biodegradable, and recyclable, even when using only at least the three substrate copolymers. In tests conducted, EarthPCBMR resins made from two of the exemplary formulations described above were analyzed. These compositions, designated EPC 104 and EPC 105, were tested according to impact (ASTM D256), tensile (ASTM D638), melt flow (ASTM D1238), specific gravity (ASTM D792), and ash (ASTM D5630) testing, as shown in Table 1 below. EPC 104 represents the exemplary embodiment of the EarthPCBMR resin comprising 25 wt. % calcium carbonate, 2 wt. % hemp tow, 27.5 wt. % polyethylene green, 45 wt. % starch, and 0.5 wt. % MA / / O / ÓO EcoPure® additive. EPC 105 represents the exemplary embodiment of EarthPCB™ resin comprising 25% by weight calcium carbonate, 6% by weight hemp tow, 23.5% by weight Green polyethylene, 45% by weight starch and 0.5% by weight EcoPure™ additive. MA / í O l Jo Table 1: Compound Specific Gravity (g / cm3) Impact (J / cm (Pielb / in)) Tensile Strength (kg / cm2 (lb / in2)) Elongation (%) Tensile Modulus (kg / cm2 (lb / in2)) Melt Flow (g / 10 min) EPC 104 1.35 0.160 (0.30) 118.75 (1,689) 0.62 22,439.31 (319,162) 0.75 EPC 105 1.38 0.171 (0.32) 108.41 (1,542) 0.43 28,973.36 (412,098) 0.13 Specifically, the compositions were tested against a PLA resin. It should be noted that during the test, the presence of starch in the composition was observed to decrease the melt flow rate to approximately 4.26 g / 10 minutes by itself. Additionally, as shown in Table 1, EPC 104 decreased the melt flow rate to below 1 g / 10 minutes and EPC 105 decreased the melt flow rate to below 0.2 g / 10 minutes, compared to the PLA resin's melt flow rate of 7.5 g / 10 minutes. As demonstrated by these results, one advantage of the EarthPCBMR resin may be the slowing of the melt flow rate, which can be useful in certain applications and manufacturing processes. In another exemplary test, the tensile modulus was significantly improved due to the EarthPCBMR resins. The modulus of the PLA resin is 13.358.32 kg / cm2(190,000 lb / in2) and EPC 105, which had the highest improvement, had a tensile modulus of 28,973.36 kg / cm2(412,098 lb / in2), as shown in Table 1. Thus, an additional advantage of EarthPCBMR resin may be that bioplastics formed from the resin are stronger than PLA-based plastics. FIGURES 1A-1B illustrate exemplary embodiments of the compostable biodegradable soil-plant-based composition made during testing, in accordance with one aspect. FIGURE 1A illustrates the exemplary EPC embodiment 104 set forth above (shown by 101). FIGURE 1B illustrates the exemplary EPC embodiment 105 set forth above (shown by 102). The exemplary embodiments shown in FIGURES 1A-1B were made by using traditional curing methods, by first melting each component and mixing their molten forms. As shown in FIGS. 1A-1B, the EarthPCBMR resin embodiments made using this method vary in coloration and uniformity across the bioplastic pieces 101, 102. For example, the presence of darker areas 103a, 104a and the presence of lighter areas 103b, 104b indicate a non-uniform blending of components during mixing within each of the EarthPCBMR composite embodiments.This non-uniform combination can cause non-uniform strength from end to end, which can make the resulting bioplastic more prone to failure in particular applications. As will be discussed in further detail later in this document, during testing it was discovered that milling each of the components prior to mixing the resin allows each component to be combined uniformly. In one aspect, a method is provided for producing the EarthPCB™ composition. The method for producing the EarthPCB™ resin substrate may involve first milling each copolymer separately into a fine powder, wherein each particle is about 0.25 to 3.0 microns in diameter. The substrate copolymers may be exemplary green polyethylene, CaCO3, hemp tow, starch, biodegradation additive, and optionally soy protein flour. Pre-selected amounts of each substrate copolymer may be metered to produce the EarthPCB™ composition. The substrate copolymers may be milled or pulverized over their diameter range to allow for a fine, powdered blend of each of the copolymers into a uniform composition. The particle size of the pulverized copolymers may be measured via geometric methods, such as microscopy or sieving.In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the hemp tow may be ground into a fine powder of about 0.25 to 0.75 microns in diameter. Hemp tow fibers, which form the inner core of the hemp stalk, are generally woody and therefore do not blend well or combine evenly on their own. Thus, when the hemp tow is ground to a fine powder of about 0.25 to 0.75 microns in diameter, it blends and mixes more evenly with the other substrate copolymers. Thus, one advantage of grinding the hemp tow into this fine powder size may be that the EarthPCBMR resin is stronger, more flexible, compostable, and biodegradable. Once each of the substrate copolymers is combined generally in the range of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns, the copolymers can be combined together and mechanically mixed. Ml / / O / ÓO without heat. By way of example, each component may be added one at a time to the mixture in a mechanical device, wherein the mixture is blended for about 5 to 25 minutes at a time before the next substrate copolymer is added. Once all of the substrate copolymers have been mechanically agitated together in a dry state, the resulting mixture may be heated to a temperature between about 104 and 182°C (220 and 360°F). Heating the final substrate mixture achieves thermodynamic activation within the mixture such that cohesion is established between each substrate copolymer in the mixture. Heating the final mixture results in the final EarthPCBMR resin disclosed above.Thus, one advantage of the method for producing EarthPCBMR resin may be that the resin can be used as a material to form numerous types of food and beverage containers, packaging, film, and similar plastic products. An additional advantage of the method may be that the resulting products will be recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable. EarthPCBMR resin can be manufactured into a variety of products and goods through thermoforming, blow molding, injection molding, blister forming, vacuum forming, and granulation, for example. EarthPCBMR resin can be granulated via a process involving extrusion, cutting of the extruded strands, and curing to generate bioplastic products. It should be understood that due to the milling of each of the components that constitute the composition, the curing process of the composition will be faster, thereby reducing storage costs before the production of various products made from EarthPCBMR resin. As is known to one of ordinary skill in the art, granulation is the process of compressing or molding the substrate into the form of a small granule.These pellets can then be shipped to various manufacturers who use the pellets in their specific manufacturing processes such as injection molding, extrusion film, blow molding, etc. The melt flow rate of the EarthPCBMR substrate material under thermoforming, for example, can be about 7.5 to 4.26 g / 10 minutes. A modifier in the form of an additive could be applied to the substrate to adjust the melt flow rate to about 7 to 3.5 g / 10 minutes, for example. It should be understood that impact modifiers or temperature modifiers could be added to the substrate to make an obvious adjustment to the properties of the resin substrate. For example, an impact modifier could be added to the substrate to provide more durable products if produced from the resin. The EarthPCBMR composition may be provided with a method for producing bioplastic made from the EarthPCBMR resin, in one aspect. The method for producing the EarthPCBMR composition to form bioplastic may involve first grinding green polyethylene and calcium carbonate into fine powders of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns in diameter, and then mechanically blending the two powders together, to form a first blend. The hemp tow may be ground into a fine powder of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns in diameter and then mechanically blended and dry-blended without heat with the first blend, to form a second blend. The second blend thus comprises the blended green polyethylene, calcium carbonate, and hemp tow. It should be understood that soy protein could replace the hemp tow in this exemplary method. The starch may then be ground to a fine granulated powder of about 0.25 to 3.0 microns.0 microns in diameter and can be mechanically mixed and dry-blended without heat with the second mixture to form a third mixture. Finally, the third and final mixture can be agitated at a temperature between. ML / t / ZUZZ / U / 0 / 00 approximately 104 and 182°C (220 and 360°F) to thermodynamically activate and link the material structures within each substrate copolymer, forming the EarthPCB™ resin. The combined material structural units are linked in a linear or branched manner via the heat bonding process. The EarthPCB™ resin can then be cured at approximately 121 to 182°C (250 to 360°F) to form a bioplastic in the form of a pelletized material. The pelletized material can then be used to form food and beverage products by extrusion, injection blow molding, injection molding, etc. Thus, one advantage of the method for producing a bioplastic from the EarthPCB™ resin may be that products currently made of plastic can now be made of compostable and biodegradable resin. Traditional resin curing and mixing methods involve first melting the granular forms of each ingredient that makes up the composition. As discussed above, the method for producing EarthPCBMR resin involves combining all the ingredients into a final mixture in powder form, rather than blending the molten granules. Thus, one advantage of the method described above may be that each component that makes up the composition can be dry-mixed and blended without heat. It should be understood that the above-described exemplary embodiments of the EarthPCBMR composition can be specifically used for a variety of applications. For example, for the production of packaging films, for example, hemp tow or soy protein and calcium carbonate would preferably not be used in the preparation of the EarthPCBMR composition, as they could compromise the integrity of the resulting film. The following is a description of various other aspects, embodiments, and / or examples in which the invention may be practiced. Reference will be made to the accompanying drawings, including tables and diagrams therein, and the information included in the drawings is a part of this detailed description. Specifically, reference will be made to tables showing data from tests conducted on the EarthPCBMR masterbatch resin made in various aspects of a variety of the exemplary formulas described below. These compositions called EarthPCBMR or EPCB were tested in various aspects, embodiments, and / or examples in which the invention may be practiced. The present invention relates to a plant-earth based composition (EarthPCBMR) and methods for making and using the same, the composition having environmentally friendly properties and being suitable for use in applications having a requirement for a wide spectrum of temperature ranges, from low freezing temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or temperatures above boiling water at 100°C (212°F), which can thus be effectively used to replace petroleum based plastic. FIGURE 2 illustrates other exemplary products made from the compostable, biodegradable, soil-plant-based composition produced during testing, in accordance with one aspect. It should be noted that due to the use of the preferred blending method described later in this document, the plastic products have color and structural uniformity (unlike the test samples in FIGURES 1A-1B). FIGURE 3 illustrates several products that have been successfully manufactured from the compostable, biodegradable, soil-plant-based composition, showing its broad suitability, in one aspect. For example, hooks 311, which could be used for hanging clothes, can be made from the EarthPCBMR composition, which is rigid, not flexible. The rigid EarthPCBMR composition could be used in the cosmetics industry to produce cosmetic packaging, making it biodegradable and compostable. The cosmetics industry is seeking renewable, sustainable packaging. That can be provided by the composition for producing a rigid bioplastic for the cosmetics industry and other applications requiring a rigid material, as disclosed in this application. The following are some examples of compositions that can be used for the production of a bioplastic for the cosmetics industry, or other rigid material applications, such as wall hooks, automotive parts, boxes for electronic products, packaging for rigid walls, the composition is compostable and biodegradable. A composition for the production of a bioplastic for the cosmetics industry or other rigid applications that is compostable and biodegradable, the composition comprising 40% plant-based polyethylene, 15% polyethylene, 25% CaSiO2 Wollastonite, 10% CaCO3, 7% starch, 3% biodegradation additive, all ratios are by weight. A composition for the production of a bioplastic for the cosmetics industry or other rigid material applications, such as wall hooks, which is compostable and biodegradable, the composition comprising 65% plant-based polyethylene, 25% Wollastonite CaSiO3, 7% CaCO3, 3% biodegradation additive, all ratios are by weight. A composition for the production of a bioplastic for the cosmetics industry or other rigid material applications, such as wall hooks or boxes, or rigid wall packaging that is compostable and biodegradable, the composition comprising 35% plant-based polyethylene, 25% polyethylene, 30% Wollastonite CaSiO3, 8% CaCO3, 2% biodegradation additive, all ratios are by weight. A composition for the production of a bioplastic for the cosmetics industry or other rigid material applications, such as wall hooks, automotive parts, boxes for electronic products, rigid wall packaging that is compostable and biodegradable, the composition comprising 62% plant-based polyethylene, 20% CaSiO3 Wollastonite, 15% CaCO3, 3% biodegradation additive, all ratios are by weight. Another example of this composition, which is suitable for the production of a bioplastic for the cosmetics industry or other rigid material applications, comprises a range of 25% to 75% by weight of plant-based polyethylene, 10% to 50% by weight of Wollastonite CaSiO3, 1% to 25% by weight of CaCO3, 1% to 30% by weight of ΜΛ / í O l Jo starch, 1% to 4% by weight of biodegradation additive, 1% to 8% by weight of color additive. As another example, the EarthPCBMR312 bag was tested with dry ice (a frozen form of carbon dioxide) at a temperature of minus 78°C (minus 109°F). This low temperature did not affect the integrity of the 312 bag with respect to cracking or brittleness. Therefore, the EarthPCBMR312 bag could be used for cold storage for medical applications, such as shipping the COVID-19 vaccine, and the bag must be biodegradable and biocompostable. An exemplary formulation for this bag is 88% by weight plant-based polyethylene, 8% by weight CaCO3, 2% by weight PCR, and 2% by weight biodegradation additive. Figures 4A-C show the side, bottom, and top views, respectively, of another product, a shoe sole, which was also successfully made from the compostable biodegradable soil-plant-based composition disclosed in this paper. For example, the EarthPCBMR flexible plastic could be used for this application. The EarthPCBMR composition has been successfully combined with Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) to make a shoe sole that is both biodegradable and compostable. Currently, old shoes are not recycled and end up in landfills and are toxic to the environment, taking ML / í O l JO up to 1000 years to decompose into microplastics, which are harmful to the environment and human health. The following are some examples of compositions that can be used for shoe soles, all ratios are by weight. A composition for the production of a bioplastic for shoes or other soft material applications that is compostable and biodegradable, the composition comprising a range of 30% to 60% plant-based polyethylene, 30% to 75% EVA - Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate, 4% to 20% CaCOa, 1% to 20% starch, 1% to 4% biodegradation additive, all ratios are by weight. A composition for the production of a bioplastic for soles or other soft material applications that is compostable and biodegradable, the composition comprising a range of 28% to 60% plant-based polyethylene, 30% to 75% Bio-EVA - Ethylene Vinyl Acetate based on biological materials, 1% to 25% CaCOa, 1% to 20% starch, 1% to 4% biodegradation additive, all ratios are by weight. A composition for the production of a bioplastic for soles or other soft material applications that is compostable and biodegradable, the composition comprising a range of 22% to 60% polyethylene based ML / / 0 / 00 Plant-based or 22% to 60% Plant-based Polypropylene, 10% to 50% EVA, 30% to 75% Bio-EVA Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate based on bio-materials, 1% to 25% CaCO3, 1% to 20% Starch, 1% to 4% Biodegradation additive, 1% to 30% Hemp, 1% to 25% Cotton waste, 1% to 20% Plant protein, all ratios are by weight. FIGURE 5 shows an exemplary product (a snap joint) made from the compostable biodegradable soil-plant based composition that is flexible. An EarthPCBMR snap joint can be used in flip-top bottles for lotion, hand sanitizer, or pill bottles, whereas PLA, PHA, PHB, and other biodegradable material cannot be used to make flip-top or snap joint products. An example of an EarthPCBMR formulation for these types of applications is 52% by weight plant-based polyethylene, 28% by weight Bio-EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), 12% by weight CaCO3, 4% by weight starch, and 4% by weight biodegradation additive. The EarthPCBMR formulation for these types of applications may also comprise petroleum material, such as polypropylene or PCR polypropylene.The EarthPCBMR composition will thus allow petroleum materials to also be biodegradable and compostable while being flexible to create an (elastic bond) which could. ML / / 0 / 00 can be used in flip-top bottles for lotions, hand sanitizers, pill bottles, or hand wipe packaging. An example of an EarthPCBMR formula for this type of application is 80% PP-Polypropylene, 10% plant-based polyethylene, 6% CaCO3, and 4% biodegradation additive; all ratios are by weight. It should be noted that, in general, for applications where the plastic needs to be more rigid, increasing the CaCO3 ratio in the formula is one way to achieve this. On the other hand, for applications where the plastic needs to be more flexible, decreasing the CaCO3 ratio and / or increasing the proportion of plant-based polyethylene in the formula can achieve this. It should also be noted that plant-based LLDPE is more flexible and therefore should be used more in flexible plastic applications than plant-based HDPE, which is more rigid. FIGURE 6 illustrates a drinking straw made from the compostable biodegradable composition based on soil / plants, which remained undeformed after being tested in microwave-heated boiling water. FIGURE 7 illustrates a drinking straw made from PLA, which deformed when tested under the same test conditions, i.e., insertion into a cup filled with microwave-heated boiling water. ML / í O l Jo (approximately 100°C (212°F)). As shown, while the PLA straw lost its shape and could not be used, the EarthPCBMR straw (FIGURE 6) maintained its shape and could be used. This testing also demonstrates that PLA could not be used for hot beverages or hot beverage stirrers as they could lose their shape and cause the hot water or liquid to spill out and severely burn or scald the user’s fresh hand, fingers, or other body parts. FIGURE 8 illustrates a mask made from the compostable, biodegradable, soil-based composite. For example, a flexible EarthPCBMR plastic could be used for this application to better comfort the wearer, and a luminescent EarthPCBMR plastic, such as that in FIGURE 9, could also be used. For example, a luminescent mask would make it easier to locate a firefighter wearing the mask in a dark environment. FIGURE 9 illustrates a cup made from the compostable biodegradable composition based on soil and plants that glows in the dark. A composition for the production of a bioplastic for a product that would be luminescent in the dark that could be used in emergency services masks, pill bottles so that a patient can easily find the medication in the dark, wall switch plates, such as ML / í O l Jo examples of the applications, one could make the compostable biodegradable composition based on earthplants of the formula EarthPCBMRfor this type of application is for example 30% to 80% by weight of plant based polyethylene, 20% to 60% by weight of Bio - EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), 1% to 20% by weight of CaCOa, 1% to 20% by weight of starch, 10% to 30% by weight of luminescent additive (e.g. GlowzoneMR) and 1% to 4% by weight of biodegradation additive. Another example of the EarthPCBMR formula for this type of application is 30% to 80% by weight of PP-polypropylene, 20% to 60% by weight of Bio-EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), 1% to 20% by weight of CaCOa, 1% to 20% by weight of starch, 10% to 30% by weight of luminescent additive and 1% to 4% by weight of biodegradation additive. FIGURE 10 illustrates a cup made from the compostable, biodegradable, plant-based composition that is still flexible after being cooled to freezing temperatures (below 0°C (32°F)). Thus, the composition is suitable for making ice cube trays, for example, whereas this is not possible with PLA, PHA, or PHB. As with other flexible plastic applications, increasing the proportion of plant-based polyethylene and / or decreasing the proportion of CaCO3 makes this possible. M / / 0 / 00 FIGURES 11A-11C, 12A-12C, 13A-13C show results of a biodegradation test performed on plastic made from three particular formulations of the compostable biodegradable composition based on soil / plants, EPCB 177, EPCB 178, EPCB 179, respectively. EPCB 177 consists of 55% Green PE, 25% CaCO3, 10% potato starch, 7% tapioca starch, 3% biodegradation additive, all ratios are by weight. EPCB 178 consists of 60% Green PE, 25% CaCO3, 11% potato starch, 4% biodegradation additive, all ratios are by weight. EPCB 179 consists of 65% Green PE, 25% CaCO3, 6% potato starch, 4% biodegradation additive, all ratios are by weight. The tests, the results of which are shown in FIGURES 11A-11C, 12A-12C, 13A-13C, were performed in accordance with ASTM D5511 and ASTM D5338. In FIGURES 11A-11C, 12A-12C, 13A-13C, the negative column is a control sample, i.e., regular polyethylene. The positive column is a cellulose sample used to show that the test is working. This is an organic material. The column to the right of the positive column is the EarthPCBMR sample tested. As can be seen from FIGURES 13A-13C, the EarthPCBMR product tested (EPCB 179) showed the ASTM 5511 biodegradation timeline of M / / 0 / 00 2.6 years (100 / (365 / 58x5.9)), which is less than 3 years, which was the testing target for that EarthPCBMR composite blend formulation. As shown, the tested EarthPCBMR product showed the ASTMD5338 biocomposting timeline of less than one year, which was the target for a bioplastic composting side. It should be noted that by changing the EarthPCBMR substrate blend formulation, the biodegradation and biocomposting timeline could become shorter, as the EarthPCBMR composite product biodegrades faster. FIGURE 14A shows the results of strength tests conducted on plastic made from two particular formulations of the compostable biodegradable soil-plant-based composition, EPCB 240 and EPCB 241, respectively. EPCB 240 consists of 90% Green PE, 8% CaCO3, and 2% biodegradation additive; all ratios are by weight. EPCB 241 consists of 95% Green PE, 3% CaCO3, and 2% biodegradation additive; all ratios are by weight. FIGURE 14B shows the results of strength tests conducted on plastic made from plant-based polyethylene versus petroleum-based polyethylene. As shown in FIGURES 14A-14B, the strength properties of the two EPCB formulations tested are comparable. MA / / O / ÓO higher than those of plant-based polyethylene and petroleum-based polyethylene. In one example, the disclosed EarthPCBMR composition may contain plant-based polyethylene (e.g., I'm Green™ polyethylene, Green PE) at about fifteen percent to ninety-nine percent (15-99%) by weight which is not biodegradable itself. The composition may also include calcium carbonate (CaCO3) at about zero point five percent to sixty percent (0.5-60%) by weight. The composition may also include food-based starches that have no added plasticizers. The food-based starches are 100% biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable, and may be provided at zero point five percent to eighty-five percent (0.5-85%) by weight. The composition may also include food-based proteins (such as soy protein) which are 100% biodegradable themselves and may be provided at zero point five percent to eighty-five percent (0.5-85%) by weight.The EarthPCBMR composition may also include a biodegradation additive (e.g., Bio SphereMR or EcoPureMR or other biodegradation additives such as Earth PlusMR) of approximately 0.5% to 10% (0.5-10%) by weight. The advantages of this resin. 6 EarthPCBMRson that the resulting products are as strong or stronger than petroleum-based plastics, while also being compostable, biodegradable, recyclable, and non-toxic to the environment. Food starches can be derived from, for example, potato, tapioca, cassava, peas, corn, wheat, and other food-based starches. In another aspect, a compostable biodegradable soil-plant based composition is provided, wherein the composition may include soy protein, soy polyols, or soy plastic provided from about zero point five percent to thirty percent (0.5-30%) by weight. The EarthPCBMR resin may be provided with starches from potato, tapioca, corn, cassava, pea, wheat, or other foods, wherein the soy protein, or other proteins replacing the hemp tow, results in a composition comprising ethanol-based Green polyethylene, calcium carbonate, soy protein, other proteins, biodegradation additive (e.g., BioSphere™, or EcoPure™ or other biodegradation additives such as Earth Plus™), and natural food starch. In this example, the composition thus has no starches or thermoplastic plasticizers. In this way, an advantage of the composition MA / / 0 / 00 EarthPCBMR, with protein and starch substitutes and natural food-based materials, means that no chemicals such as plasticizers or thermoplastic flexibilizers are added. The resulting products are natural, as strong or stronger than petroleum-based plastics, and are still compostable, biodegradable, recyclable, and environmentally friendly. This makes them marine biodegradable as well. An additional advantage may be that the components that make up the EarthPCBMR composition are widely available and cost-effective, making the resin an affordable and renewable alternative to petroleum-based plastic resins. In another aspect, a method is provided for making a compostable, biodegradable, soil-plant-based composition. Again, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise an ethanol-based PE, which could be derived from corn, sugar, sugar beets, and so forth. Cellulosic biomass is the structural portion of plants, including complex sugars, that cannot be directly used for food ingredients or fermentation substrates, such as corn stocks or wheat fibers. The composition may also comprise calcium carbonate, hemp tow, food starches, such as corn, potato, tapioca, and other similar natural foods, proteins, such as soy protein or pea protein, biodegradation additives, and biopolymers (PE, PP, etc.). All of these different materials mixed together face mixing challenges due to their powder and other small granule form. Ethanol-based PE or PP is generally in granular form, whereas starches or food proteins are generally powders, while calcium carbonate is a small granular powder with granules approximately 2 (two) microns in size. Blending these different materials together is challenging. In one example, the method for producing the compostable biodegradable composition based on soil / plants disclosed herein may involve first grinding the substrate copolymers into a fine powder, wherein each particle of the powder is about 0.1 to 4.0 micrometers (microns) in diameter. The ethanol-based Green polyethylene or Green polypropylene may be ground to a fine powder of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns and the substrate calcium carbonate may be ground to a fine powder of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns and the two powders may be mechanically mixed together, to form a first ML / / 0 / 00 mix before a next blending step and before heat is added. The hemp tow substrate can then be ground to a fine powder of approximately 0.1 to 4.0 microns and mechanically mixed. It is then dry-blended into the first blend, without heat, to form a second blend. No heat has yet been applied in the combination of the first two pre-blend steps of the different EarthPCBMR materials. The substrate natural food starches may then be ground to a fine granular powder of approximately 0.1 to 4.0 microns and mechanically mixed and dry-blended without heat into the second mixture. When two or more natural food starches are used, such as potato and tapioca starches, they are ground and then blended together to first create a uniform blend of natural food starches, then added to the second mixture to form a third mixture. The substrate protein(s) can then be ground to a fine granulated powder of approximately 0.1 to 4.0 microns and mechanically mixed and dry blended without heat with the third mixture. When two or more natural food proteins are used, such as soy protein and pea protein, the proteins are ML / t / ZUZZ / U / O / ÓO are ground then mixed together first, to create a uniform combination of natural food proteins, then added to the main mix with the third mix, to form a fourth mix. After extensive testing, it was determined that the particle size of 0.1 to 4.0 microns is crucial for the proper combination of the compositions, and thus for their properties, as described herein (see FIGURE 2 in contrast to FIGURES 1A-IB). The substrate biodegradation additive may then be ground and dry blended without heat with the fourth blend to form the final EarthPCBMR composition. The biopolymer masterbatch may be blended together in a mechanical blend and heated to between about 104 and 221°C (220 and 430°F) (e.g., for several minutes) to achieve thermodynamic activation of the biopolymer in the masterbatch, i.e., a compostable and biodegradable composition that can be used to make bioplastic products. Thus, there are several economic advantages to the method for producing the EarthPCBMR substrate described above. All resin components are uniformly combined, without the need for heat pre-drying to remove moisture from the biopolymer substrate. MA / í O l The organic plant-based and components are dry blended without the need for heat to be applied during the blending process. An additional advantage of the method for producing the EarthPCBMR substrate may be that the manufacturing process requires relatively lower energy consumption because no pre-drying is needed, whereas other materials that are organic in nature such as BLA and PHAPHB require extensive heat pre-drying prior to blending or other processing such as injection molding, extrusion molding or extrusion blow molding. The EarthPCBMR composition does not require heat drying of the pre-masterbatch materials, nor does the EarthPCBMR substrate in the final masterbatch need to be heat dried before use. The masterbatch is suitable for injection molding, extrusion molding, or extrusion blow molding methods to make bioplastic products. In another aspect, a method is provided for producing a compostable biodegradable soil-plant based substrate resin in granulated form. The method for producing the EarthPCBMR substrate copolymer may include providing an ethanol-based polyethylene or ethanol-based polypropylene, made from corn, sugar, or cellulosic organic materials, for example, of about 25 to 99% by weight, with 1% to 10% by weight of a blended mixture of a natural food starch, calcium carbonate, and a biodegradation additive, mixed together in powder form would create a compostable biodegradable composition biopolymer masterbatch resin that would not need to be pre-dried before injection molding, extrusion molding, or extrusion blow molding takes place. In another aspect, a method is provided for producing a compostable biodegradable soil-plant based substrate resin in granular form. The method for producing the EarthPCBMR substrate copolymer may include blending about 25 to 99% by weight of ethanol-based polyethylene or polypropylene, about 1 to 50% by weight of natural food starch, about 0.5 to 10% by weight of biodegradation additive, about 1 to 40% by weight of calcium carbonate, about 1 to 40% by weight of protein, about 1 to 40% by weight of wood fibers or grass fibers, and about 1 to 40% by weight of hemp tow. The method for producing the EarthPCBMR substrate copolymer may include first milling each substrate copolymer separately into fine powders of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns. Those fine powders may then be uniformly blended in a mechanical mixer for about 5 to 25 minutes per powder, with each substrate copolymer being added one at a time during the blending process. The fine powders are then dry blended without heat in the mechanical mixer. When all of the substrate copolymers have been mechanically agitated and dry blended together without heat, then the entire substrate masterbatch blend may be heated to a temperature between about 104 and 221°C (220 and 430°F) to achieve thermodynamic activation, thereby establishing cohesion between each substrate copolymer and resulting in a substrate masterbatch resin.Finally, the substrate resin can be cured at a temperature between approximately 104 and 221°C (220 and 430°F) to form a pelletized bioplastic that can then be used in various manufacturing processes for the production of bioplastic products. In this way an advantage of the method for producing the substrate resin may be that the masterbatch resin is not temperature sensitive to chilling in a freezer for example, or hot temperature in a microwave oven for example, or hot temperature on a bottom rack of a dishwasher or sensitive to hot boiling water at 100°C (212°F) while the masterbatch resin is also soil-plant based compostable, biodegradable and recyclable, whereas no other plant based resin has achieved this resilience at low to high temperatures for durable bioplastic goods. As discussed earlier in this document, PLA, PHB and PHA melt in heat and become brittle at low temperatures and thus are not durable.Thus, one advantage of the method for producing the substrate masterbatch resin may be that the resin can be used as a material to form numerous plastic products, such as food and beverage containers, packaging, film, plastic bags, automotive parts, medical devices, cosmetic packaging, household appliances, electronics, aircraft parts, toys, and any other product made from petroleum plastic. A further advantage of the method may be that the resulting products will be recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable. Still another advantage is that the masterbatch resin could be obtained from just two of the material components described above and still be compostable and biodegradable, or it could be obtained from all of the components disclosed herein to make a masterbatch resin that is still compostable and biodegradable as well as recyclable. The PE-based EarthPCBMR composition disclosed in this document can be recycled with other PE plastics, to become a PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) resin. The EarthPCBMR PP-based composite can be recycled with other PP plastics to become a PCR resin. The above aspects, examples or advantages, as well as other aspects, examples or advantages, will become even more evident from the following description. The EarthPCBMR composition may have additional advantageous properties such as improved ambient temperature ranges in which the bioplastic materials could be used, improved strength compared to other bioplastic materials, improved flexibility, moisture resistance, oxygen barrier property, coloration improvements of the bioplastic materials such as red, yellow, green, blue, orange and all other colors, biodegradation properties and compostability. Furthermore, the materials that make up the EarthPCBMR composition are also widely available and relatively low cost, making the EarthPCBMR composition one of the most economically feasible bioplastic materials in the world. The pelletized resin feedstock segment / component may comprise an ethanol-based polyethylene or ethanol-based polypropylene, a biodegradation additive (e.g., EcoPure™, BioSphere™, or other additives, such as EarthPCB™), calcium carbonate (CaCO₂) in a size of 0.1 to 4.0 microns, and the soft powder segments / components may comprise natural food starch, natural protein, hemp tow or glass fibers, or wood chips ground into a fine powder with a size of 0.1 to 4.0 microns. These segments may enable products made from the EarthPCB™ resin to compost and be biodegradable after use, while also being non-toxic. In this way, one advantage may be that the compostable, soil-plant-based biodegradable resin-based bioplastic can be used to replace petroleum-based plastics currently used in the market today.For example, this includes but is not limited to food and beverage packaging, cosmetic and healthcare packaging, automotive, construction, textiles, bag films, and in applications such as injection molding, extrusion blow molding, extrusion molding, as well as other types of consumer products. ΜΛ / í O l Jo industrial . In one aspect, the EarthPCBMRse composition may be provided with an ethanol-based polyethylene of about fifteen to ninety-nine percent (1599%) by weight in the form of pellets or a preferred finely ground powder form of about 0.1 to 4.0 micrometers (microns). The EarthPCBMR resin substrate may also be provided with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) of about 0.25 wt. %, the EarthPCBMR resin substrate may also be provided with natural food starch such as potato or tapioca, or corn starch of about 0.25 wt. %, and the EarthPCBMR resin substrate may also be provided with a biodegradation additive of about 0.5 wt. %, which is complete 99 wt. % ethanol-based polyethylene and 1 wt. % of a combination of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), natural food starch and a biodegradation additive. The advantage of this resin substrate is that it would also be biodegradable, biocompostable and recyclable, as well as being economically feasible. In another aspect, the EarthPCBMRse composition may be provided with an ethanol-based polyethylene of about fifteen to ninety-nine percent (1599%) by weight in the form of pellets or a preferred pellet form. ML / / O / ÓO finely ground powder of about 0.1 to 4.0 micrometers (microns). The EarthPCBMR resin substrate may also be provided with CaCO3 of about one weight percent to fifty percent (1 to 50%) by weight of fine powder generally in the preferred approximate diameter of 0.1-4.0 microns. The presence of calcium carbonate in the EarthPCBMR composition can be advantageous for multiple reasons for particular applications where a white plastic is desirable, such as in pill bottles, shampoo or lotion bottles, cosmetic packaging, food and beverage packaging, supplement packaging such as protein or nutrition packaging, etc. Because calcium carbonate is naturally white, it can reduce the need for white colorant, which can lower the production cost of the EarthPCBMR composite for these applications. An additional advantage is that the EarthPCBMR substrate formulation uses lower concentrations of calcium carbonate than the stone-based resin, making the EarthPCBMR composite less brittle. Additional benefits include the calcium carbonate concentration of the EarthPCBMR substrate composition that could accelerate the biodegradation timeline, add strength, making the EarthPCBMR composition more temperature tolerant, a natural material that returns to the earth, and a sustainable earth material. The EarthPCBMR resin substrate may also be provided with hemp tow of about one to seventy-five percent (1-75%) by weight ground to a fine powder of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns, by way of example. The use of hemp tow to produce plastic may be a better option than petroleum-based plastic because it is 100% biodegradable and recyclable. The EarthPCBMR resin substrate composition may also include natural food starch (NFS) in many different varieties that are used at the same time in the substrate or use only one type of natural food starch such as potato or tapioca, or corn, which is derived from natural starch granules originating in plants (e.g., potato, tapioca, wheat, corn, rice, cassava, peas, and other such plants). The natural food starch may be provided from about 0.25 percent to sixty percent (0.25%-60%) by weight ground into a fine powder of particles of approximately 0.1 to 4.0 microns. The EarthPCBMR resin substrate can also be supplied with food protein such as soy protein, ML / t / ZUZZ / U / 0 / 00 peas, hemp seeds, beans and other plants of approximately zero point five percent to fifty percent (0.5-50%) by weight ground into a fine powder of approximately 0.1 to 4.0 microns, as an example. Plant-based proteins for producing plastic may be a much better option than petroleum-based plastic since they are 100% biodegradable and recyclable. The EarthPCBMR resin substrate composition may also include natural grasses (there are 12,000 species of grass), such as bamboo (there are as many as 12 different types of bamboo), corn stalk, or other cellulosic biomass. An advantage of using grass in the substrate composition is that this material is abundant throughout the world and is a low cost material used to make plastics, and it is also 100% biodegradable. Also, wood chips or carbonized wood could be used in the substrate composition, the amount of wood or other cellulosic material may be from about one percent to 35 percent (1-35%) by weight, ground into a fine powder of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns, by way of example. The same percentage of turf substrate composition could be used and ground into a fine powder in the same turf micron size range of approximately one to 35 percent (1-35%) by ground weight. ML / í O l JO into a fine powder, all approximately 0.1 to 4.0 microns in size, for example. An advantage of these substrate compositions is that they are 100% biodegradable and recyclable. Finally, the EarthPCBMR resin may be provided with a biodegradable additive at about zero point five percent to ten percent (0.5-10%) by weight in the form of granules or a preferred finely ground powder form of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns, by way of example. The biodegradation additive enables products formed with the EarthPCBMR composition to be biodegradable or to compost within 2 months to 3 years depending on the combination of the EarthPCBMR composition and the end-of-life environment in which the products made from the EarthPCBMR composition end up. In this way, one advantage of the EarthPCBMR composition may be that bioplastic products made from the composition are as strong or stronger than petroleum plastic, and yet are compostable, biodegradable, recyclable, and environmentally friendly. It should be understood that within the ranges described above, various EarthPCBMR compositions can be formulated from the multiple components described. Testing, however, revealed that four of the multiple components are crucial for obtaining a suitable, durable, biodegradable, and biocompostable EarthPCBMR resin. M / / 0 / 00 These four (4) components are ethanol-based polyethylene or polypropylene, natural food starch (no plasticizer or thermoplastic starch therein), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and a biodegradation additive. In one example, one may choose to combine 60% by weight of Green polyethylene with 20% by weight of calcium carbonate, with 18% by weight of natural food starch, and with 2% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another example, one may choose to combine five of the above components into a single composition, by ensuring that the ratio for each component is within the range described above for each component and that the total ratio equals 100%, for example as follows: 50% by weight of Green polyethylene or Green polypropylene, 15% by weight of calcium carbonate, 15% by weight of potato starch, 10% by weight of tapioca starch, 6% by weight of hemp tow, 4% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another example, three (3) components could be used. For example, 90% by weight of Green polyethylene or Green polypropylene, 7% by weight of calcium carbonate, and 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. Another example of a three-component EarthPCBMR composition could be 90% by weight of Green polyethylene or Green polypropylene, 9% by weight of calcium carbonate, and 1% by weight of additive ML / / 0 / 00 biodegradation. In another aspect, the EarthPCBMR composition may be provided with a variation of a component within the same composition. An example might be 55% by weight Green polyethylene or Green polypropylene, 10% by weight calcium carbonate, 7% by weight potato starch, 7% by weight tapioca starch, 2% by weight soy protein, 2% by weight pea protein, 2% by weight hemp tow, 5% by weight bamboo fibers, and 3% by weight biodegradation additive. The protein, starch, and turf components would be ground into a fine powder of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns in diameter. In another aspect, the EarthPCBMR composition may be provided with soy protein as a substitute for the hemp tow feedstock, or the bamboo turf fibers could be used as a substitute for the hemp tow feedstock. The EarthPCBMR composition with substituted soy protein or bamboo turf may thus comprise about one to thirty percent (1-30%) by weight of the soy protein or bamboo turf ground into a fine powder of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns in diameter, or as the same weight percentage shown above. The remaining components (e.g., starch, calcium carbonate, polyethylene green) may be provided in the same amounts by weight and M / / 0 / 00 4 of the same particle sizes as previously described in granule or powder form. The EarthPCBMR resin described above can be produced from the following preferred formulations. A first exemplary formulation of the EarthPCBMR composition can comprise 63% by weight of Green polyethylene, 14% by weight of calcium carbonate, 10% by weight of potato starch, 10% by weight of tapioca starch, 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition comprises 67% by weight of Green polyethylene, 24% by weight of calcium carbonate, 8% by weight of food starch and 1% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 99% by weight of Green polyethylene, 0.25% by weight of calcium carbonate, 0.25% by weight of food starch, and 0.5% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 62% by weight of Green polyethylene, 2% by weight of food protein, 17% by weight of calcium carbonate, 18% by weight of food starch, and 1% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another example of the formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 65% by weight of polyethylene Green, 19% by weight of calcium carbonate, 13% by weight of food starch and 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 62% by weight of Green polyethylene, 25% by weight of calcium carbonate, 12% by weight of food starch, and 1% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 50% by weight of Green polyethylene, 24% by weight of calcium carbonate, 12% by weight of potato starch, 12% by weight of tapioca starch, and 2% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 60% by weight of Green polyethylene, 17% by weight of calcium carbonate, 10% by weight of potato starch, 10% by weight of tapioca starch, and 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 70% by weight of Green polyethylene, 15% by weight of calcium carbonate, 6% by weight of potato starch, 6% by weight of tapioca starch, and 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 80% by weight of Green polyethylene, 9% by weight of calcium carbonate, 4% by weight of MA / / 0 / 00 potato starch, 4% by weight tapioca starch and 3% by weight biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 90% by weight of Green polyethylene, 5% by weight of calcium carbonate, 1% by weight of potato starch, 1% by weight of tapioca starch, and 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 62% by weight Green polyethylene, 14% by weight calcium carbonate, 10% by weight potato starch, 10% by weight tapioca starch, and 1% by weight biodegradation additive and 2% by weight color additive that is EDA approved for food contact. As an example, a construction worker's hard hat could be yellow so that heavy equipment operators on a construction site or factory floor could easily see the worker wearing a yellow hard hat.This is an advantage of EarthPCBMR composition with color additive substrate composition that is EDA compliant or biodegradable can be that the worker wearing yellow colored hard hat would be easily seen and the hard hat made with EarthPCBMR resin is as strong or stronger than petroleum plastic and is compostable, biodegradable, recyclable and non-toxic to the environment. MA / t / ZUZZ / U / 0 / 00 In another exemplary formulation, the EarthPCB™ composition may comprise 1 to 10% by weight of color additive while the color additive is EDA compliant for food contact where differently colored EarthPCB™ food and beverage containers could be used to identify certain brands, food or beverage, contents of the container (e.g., may be to identify a gluten-free food or a diet beverage). For example, the color blue could signify diet, while a red colored container could mean the beverage contains sugar and a colored packaging for a gluten-free food could be a gold color. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 90% by weight of Green polyethylene, 6% by weight of calcium carbonate, 2% by weight of biodegradation additive, 2% by weight of color additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 95% by weight of Green polyethylene, 1% by weight of calcium carbonate, 1% by weight of biodegradation additive, 3% by weight of color additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 99% by weight of Green polyethylene and 1% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the composition EarthPCBMR can comprise 51% by weight of Green polyethylene, 22% by weight of calcium carbonate, 22% by weight of food starch, 2% by weight of color additive and 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. As shown by the preferred composition formulas above, at least two of the substrate materials would need to be used to achieve a resin that is both biodegradable and compostable. These two substrate copolymers would be about 90 to 99 percent (90 to 99%) by weight of green polyethylene, and about 1 to 10 percent (1 to 10%) by weight of biodegradation additive. However, as shown by the above preferred EarthPCBMR composition formulations, at least four of the substrate materials would need to be used to achieve a resin that is both biodegradable and compostable on a faster timeline, also because EarthPCBMR substrate materials such as calcium carbonate, food starch, turfs, food protein, are less expensive by weight than Green polyethylene or Green polypropylene by weight and the biodegradation additive by weight. There is a clear economic advantage to using at least three or four of the EarthPCBMR materials in the substrate formulation. Thus, one advantage of the EarthPCBMR composition disclosed in this paper may be that bioplastic products made from EarthPCBMR resin can be compostable, biodegradable, and recyclable, even when only using two or three of the substrate copolymers. In particular, the EarthPCBMR composition was compared in density to PLA (polylactic acid) and it was found that PLA has a density of 1.24 g / cm3 and the EarthPCBMR composition had a density of around 0.95 g / cm3, 29% less dense, meaning that the EarthPCBMR composition could weigh 29% less compared to PLA for the same generated product. This is a significant benefit in terms of freight and product handling costs. For example, a person lifting a box of products made from PLA would be lifting a 22.68 kilogram (50 pound) box of products, while the same box of materials made from the EarthPCBMR composition would weigh 16.1 kilograms (35.5 pounds). This would also correspond to a company being able to pack 29% more product by weight into a 22.68 kilogram (50 pound) package, which could have significant economic savings.Both PLA and the EarthPCBMR composition are biodegradable and biocompostable, petroleum-based polyethylene can have a factor of. ML / / 0 / 00 similar density to the EarthPCBMR composition, however, polyethylene (PE) is not biodegradable or biocompostable and can only be recycled. And the global recycling rates are 9% which is devastating to the environment. Thus, one advantage of the EarthPCBMR composition disclosed in this document may be that bioplastic products made from EarthPCBMR resin weigh less than PLA, are biodegradable, biocompostable and recyclable, while petroleum-based polyethylene can have a similar density to the EarthPCBMR composition, however, PE is not biodegradable or biocompostable; similarly, green polyethylene can have a similar density to the EarthPCBMR composition, however, green polyethylene (Green PE) is not biodegradable or biocompostable without the substrate composition of EarthPCBMR copolymers combined with Green PE.Therefore, there is a clear advantage of the EarthPCBMR composition, when it comes to the combination of weight / density, biodegradability and biocompostability, over PLA, PE and Green PE. PCR: POST-CONSUMER RECYCLED PLASTIC EarthPCBMR composition formulas were designed to complement a range of scenarios for responsible plastic waste disposal, including recycling and reduction (PCR Materials MA / / O / ÓO Post-Consumer Recycling) in a circular economy. Similarly, PCRs (post-consumer recycled plastics) are plastic materials that are reused, recycled, and repurposed—they become PCRs (post-consumer recycled materials). PCR is being used in various weight percentages with petroleum resin plastics, ranging from 5% to 100%, to make new products. In this way, the more plastic waste that is recycled, the better it is for the environment. For example, the cost of PCR is very high compared to a regular plastic of similar resin such as HDPE could cost $0.60 per 0.454 kg (pound) while PCR-HDPE could cost as much as $1.30 per 0.454 kg (pound). There are more than 6 trillion kilograms of plastic waste in the world, and every ounce of conventional plastic ever created is still with us. This influx of plastic waste is destructive to the environment and human health. Microplastics accumulate in humans, terrestrial and aquatic food chains, through agricultural soil and water supplies, causing a wide range of negative health impacts. These tiny pieces enter bodies unintentionally from tap water, food and MΛ / í O l Even the air we breathe contains chemicals linked to cancer, hormone disruption and developmental delays. Overall, there has been no sustainable end-of-life solution to the plastic waste problem. There has not been a sustainable bioplastic material developed that can be economically scaled for mass production, that is economically feasible, and that can be used to replace a wide range of petroleum-based plastic products used in the global market today. A collection and destruction plan for plastic waste is needed. Therefore, there is a need to solve the problems described above by producing an economically feasible compostable and biodegradable soil-based composition with environmentally friendly properties that can be used in PCR Post-Consumer Recycled resins, and scalable methods for manufacturing the compositions / resins globally. In one aspect, a compostable biodegradable soil-plant-based composition (EarthPCBMR) is provided comprising a composition of soil materials and blended copolymer substrates. MA / í O l To solve the problem of PCR products returning to landfills or oceans after recycling and reuse, the EarthPCBMR composition can incorporate from one to ninety-nine percent (1 to 99%) by weight of PCR resin such as polyethylene PE, polypropylene PP, by way of example. The composition can also include from zero point five percent to ten percent (0.5 to 10%) by weight of biodegradation additive. PLA, PHA, PHB cannot be recycled with PCR or blended / mixed with PCR, but the EarthPCBMR composition can. In another aspect, a compostable plus biodegradable soil-resin based composition resin may comprise an ethanol-based Green polyethylene-Green PE of about fifteen percent to ninety-five percent (15 to 95%) by weight, five to fifty percent (5 to 50%) by weight of PCR polyethylene or polypropylene, one percent to thirty percent (1 to 30%) by weight of calcium carbonate CaCO3, one percent to thirty percent (1 to 30%) by weight of food starch, zero point five percent to ten percent (0.5 to 10%) by weight of biodegradation additive, one percent to thirty percent (1 to 30%) by weight of food protein such as soy or pea protein, one percent to fifty percent (1 to 50%) by weight of hemp tow or turf. ΜΛ / í O l Jo bamboo, or wood shavings. Combining the EarthPCBMR composition with plastic PCR resins would create a sustainable end-of-life solution for plastic waste and PCR plastic products, as well as create a safe haven so that if the PCR plastic were to end up in the ocean or a landfill, it would be biodegradable and would not need to be costly recycled again. If this isn't achieved, the vicious cycle of plastic waste ending up in the environment will continue and worsen as the global population approaches 9 billion people. It should be apparent that, when creating a particular EarthPCBMR composition from weight percentage ranges of each component disclosed herein, the total weight percentage of the particular composition should not exceed one hundred percent (100%). The PCR plus EarthPCBMR resin described above can be produced from the following exemplary formulations. A first exemplary formulation of the EarthPCBMR composition can comprise 5% by weight of PCR Polyethylene, 60% by weight of Green Polyethylene, 12% by weight of calcium carbonate, 10% by weight of potato starch, 10% by weight of tapioca starch, 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 10% by weight of Polyethylene PCR resin, 60% by weight of Green polyethylene, 15% by weight of calcium carbonate, 12% by weight of food starch, 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 15% by weight of Polyethylene PCR resin, 60% by weight of Green polyethylene, 10% by weight of calcium carbonate, 12% by weight of food starch, 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 25% by weight of Polyethylene PCR resin, 50% by weight of Green polyethylene, 15% by weight of calcium carbonate, 8% by weight of food starch, 2% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 50% by weight of Polyethylene PCR resin, 35% by weight of Green (plant-based) polyethylene, 12% by weight of calcium carbonate, 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 75% by weight of Polyethylene PCR resin, 15% by weight of Green (plant-based) polyethylene, 8% by weight of calcium carbonate, 2% by weight ΜΛ / í O l Jo of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 99% by weight of Polyethylene PCR resin, 1% by weight of biodegradation additive. It should be noted that a small percentage of color additive could be added to the formula to achieve a certain color, as explained elsewhere. For example, 1 to 10% of color additive could be added by correspondingly reducing any of the other component substrates, such as PE-PCR, PE Green, calcium carbonate, cotton, food starch, and biodegradation additive. It should be noted that, as described earlier in this document, other EarthPCBMR substrates, such as food protein, hemp tow, bamboo, grasses, woods, biomass, cellulose, and cotton, could be used in addition to or as a substitute for other substrates. Again, all of these substrates are biodegradable. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 25% by weight of Polyethylene PCR resin, 50% by weight of Green polyethylene resin, 10% by weight of calcium carbonate, 5% by weight of cotton waste, 7% by weight of food starch, 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 5% by weight PCR polypropylene resin, 60% by weight Green polypropylene resin, (again, Green polypropylene is made from ethanol), 12% by weight calcium carbonate, 10% by weight potato starch, 10% by weight tapioca starch, 3% by weight biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 10% by weight of Polyethylene PCR resin, 60% by weight of Green polypropylene, 15% by weight of calcium carbonate, 12% by weight of food starch, 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 15% by weight of PCR polypropylene resin, 60% by weight of Green polypropylene resin, 10% by weight of calcium carbonate, 12% by weight of food starch, 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 50% by weight of PCR polypropylene resin, 35% by weight of Green polypropylene, 12% by weight of calcium carbonate, 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 75% by weight of PCR polypropylene resin, 15% by weight of Green polypropylene, 8% by weight of calcium carbonate, 2% by weight of additive of ΜΛ / í O l Jo biodegradation. In another exemplary formula, the EarthPCBMR composition may comprise 99% by weight of PCR polypropylene resin, 1% by weight of biodegradation additive. Again, a small percentage of color additive could be added to the formula to achieve a certain color, as explained elsewhere. For example, 1 to 10% of color additive could be added by correspondingly reducing any of the other component substrates, such as PCR PP, Green PP, calcium carbonate, food starch, cotton, or biodegradation additive. Again, other EarthPCBMR substrates, such as food protein, hemp swab, bamboo, grasses, wood, biomass, cellulose, or cotton, could be added or substituted. All of these substrates are biodegradable. In another composition it may comprise 25% by weight of PCR polypropylene resin, 50% by weight of Green polypropylene, 10% by weight of calcium carbonate, 5% by weight of cotton waste, 7% by weight of food starch, 3% by weight of biodegradation additive. PCR resins could also be ground to a fine granulated powder of approximately 0.1 to 4.0 microns and mechanically mixed, and dry blended without heat. ΜΛ / / O / ÓO with the other substrates in the EarthPCBMR formulas. In another example, a compostable biodegradable soil-plant-based composition (EarthPCBMR) is provided comprising a composition of soil substrates and combined copolymers. The composition can be provided with Polypropylene Ethanol-based green made from different types of organic materials such as Earth polypropylene or Green polypropylene from ethanol based on corn, sugarcane, beets, cellulosic materials or other plants (e.g., tm EarthPCBMR, Earth-based polypropylene, I'm GreenMR or I'm EarthMRPP Earth polypropylene or Green PP) of about fifteen percent to ninety-nine percent (15-99%) by weight which are not biodegradable by themselves. The composition may also include calcium carbonate (CaCO3) of about zero point five percent to sixty percent (0.5-60%) by weight. The composition may also include food-based starches which are 100% biodegradable, compostable and recyclable, and may be provided from zero point five percent to eighty-five percent (0.5-85%) by weight.The composition may also include food-based proteins which are 100% biodegradable in and of themselves and can be provided from zero point five percent up to eighty-five percent. MΛ / t / ZUZZ / U / O / ÓO percent (0.5-85%) by weight. The EarthPCBMR resin may also include a biodegradation additive of approximately zero point five percent to ten percent (0.5-10%) by weight. In this way, one advantage of the EarthPCBMR substrate may be that the resulting products are as strong or stronger than petroleum-based plastics, while also being compostable, biodegradable, recyclable, and non-toxic to the environment. Again, food starches may also include, but are not limited to, potato, tapioca, cassava, pea, corn, wheat, and other food starches. Thus, it should be apparent that, due to the biodegradable nature of the compositions disclosed herein, if any recycling system fails, if there are leaks into the environment due to unmanaged waste, there is ultimately a solution—EarthPCBMR. As will be discussed in further detail later in this document, it was discovered during testing that milling each of the components prior to mixing the resin allows each component to be combined uniformly. In one aspect, a method is provided for producing an EarthPCBMR composition. The method for producing an EarthPCBMR resin substrate may involve first milling each copolymer separately into a fine powder, wherein each particle is about 0.1 to 4.0 microns in diameter. The substrate copolymers may be Green polyethylene or Green polypropylene, calcium carbonate (CaCO3), grass, cotton waste, wood, such as bamboo, hemp tow, burned wood chips or sawdust wood fibers, food protein, such as soy protein, food starch, such as potato, tapioca, corn starches, biodegradation additive, by way of example, and may be provided in a solid state. The above substrate components may be in the form of pellets, but the preferred form would be a finely milled powder. Preselected amounts of each substrate copolymer may be metered to produce the EarthPCBMR composition. The substrate copolymers may be crushed, ground, or pulverized in the diameter range to enable a fine, powdered blend of each of the copolymers into a uniform composition. The particle size of the pulverized copolymers may be measured via geometric methods, such as microscopy or sieve testing. In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the Green PE, Green PP, grasses, woods, cotton, CaCO3, food starches, food protein meals, biodegradation additive may be ground into a fine powder of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns in diameter. The fibers Hemp tow, which forms the inner core of the hemp stalk, is generally woody and therefore does not mix well or blend evenly on its own. Thus, when hemp tow is ground into a fine powder of approximately 0.1 to 4.0 microns in diameter, it blends and mixes more evenly with the other substrate copolymers. The same is true for grasses, wood fibers, wood chips, cotton, and biomass, and therefore does not mix well or blend evenly on its own. Thus, when these substrate components are ground into a fine powder of approximately 0.1 to 4.0 microns in diameter, they blend and mix more evenly with the other substrate copolymers.Thus, one advantage of grinding these substrate components into this fine powder size may be that the EarthPCBMR resin is stronger, more flexible, and economically feasible because pre-drying is not required before combining. These components are compostable, biodegradable, and recyclable. Once each of the substrate copolymers are blended, generally in the range of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns, the copolymers can be blended together and mechanically mixed without heat or pre-drying. For example, each component can be added one by one to the mixture in a mechanical device, wherein the mixture is blended for about 5 to 25 minutes at a time before the next substrate copolymer is added. Once all of the substrate copolymers have been mechanically stirred together and dried, without heat or pre-drying the substrate components to remove moisture from the organic substrate before blending can take place (the blended components help to dry out the moisture), the resulting mixture can be heated in the blending method to a temperature between about 104 and 221°C (220 and 430°F).Heating the final substrate blend achieves thermodynamic activation within the blend, such that cohesion is established between each substrate copolymer in the blend without the use of a thermoplastic starch or plasticizer additive. This is crucial in the development of an economically feasible bioplastic material like EarthPCBMR. Thermoplastic starch and plasticizer additives are expensive and may contain non-organic, non-biodegradable, and non-compostable materials. The more organic biomaterials used to create a bioplastic, the greater the opportunity for biodegradation and biocomposting within the masterbatch resin. Heating the final blend results in the final masterbatch EarthPCBMR resin disclosed above. ML / / 0 / 00 document. In this way, an advantage of the method for producing an EarthPCBMR resin may be that the resin, which is economically feasible as a replacement for petroleum-based plastic, can be used as a material to form numerous types of food and beverage containers, packaging, film, bags, cosmetic packaging, medical applications, pill bottles, nutritional supplements, commercial and industrial appliances, automotive materials, airline materials—basically any product that is similar to petroleum-based plastic products—could be made from the EarthPCBMR composition. An additional advantage of the method may be that the resulting products will be recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable. EarthPCBMR resin can be manufactured into any range of products and goods through thermoforming, rotational molding, injection molding, extrusion blow molding, extrusion, film forming, blister forming, vacuum forming, and extrusion granulation, for example. EarthPCBMR resin can be pelletized via processes involving extrusion, slitting of extruded strands, and curing to produce masterbatch bioplastic resin pellets. It should be noted that due to the milling of each of the components that make up the composition, the curing process of the composition will be faster and will not require any pre-drying of the substrate components for the purpose of extruding the EarthPCBMR composition into a pelletized masterbatch. This saves a significant amount of time and cost.It is common and known that many substrates and organic material such as PLA, PHA, PHB need to be pre-dried to extrude the compound, also when using these bioresins such as PLA, PHA, PHB, they need to be pre-dried before injection molding, extrusion, extrusion blow molding, thermoforming and other well-known plastic processing are used to make a bioplastic, also petroleum-based plastic products. While the EarthPCBMR composition does not need to be pre-dried before use, thereby reducing the time to process the bioresin, which is made into bioplastic products. It should be noted that grinding EarthPCBMR substrate components takes time to grind (5 to 25 minutes) however it is much less time than pre-drying the substrates or resin material when processing.Preheating bioresin before use takes 24 to 48 hours, a much longer time than mixing, say, 5 to 25 minutes. Also, a large amount of energy, whether gas or electricity, must be used in the ovens that pre-dry PLA, PHA, PHB, or other bioresins. Milling uses less energy, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and time, and also reducing storage costs before producing the various products made from EarthPCB™ resin. As is known to one of ordinary skill in the field, granulation is the process of compressing, extruding, or molding the substrate into a small granule. These granules can then be shipped to various manufacturers who use the granules in specific manufacturing processes, such as injection molding, extrusion film, extrusion blow molding, thermoforming, etc. The melt flow rate of the EarthPCBMR substrate material under thermoforming is less than 1 g / 10 min at 80 g / 10 min (melt flow less than 1 at 80 g / 10 min), which is a significant advantage for producing a wide range of bioplastic products. Other bioresins (e.g., PLA, PHA, PHB) are not able to achieve this melt flow range. Unlike the EarthPCBMR composition, other bioresins lack the crucial ability to easily adjust to melt flow rate. This is why PLA, PHA, PHB have limited use in plastics manufacturing, while The EarthPCBMR composition can be used in any plastics industry application, but as a recyclable, biocompostable, biodegradable bioplastic. In this way, the melt flow rate of the EarthPCBMR substrate material under the thermoforming process, for example, can be in a range of approximately minus 1 to 80 g / 10 minutes. No shape modifier is needed to achieve this melt flow range. It can be achieved only by combining the EarthPCBMR substrate materials listed above, thereby reducing the cost of the resin because no additional substrate components are required. It should be noted that reducing the starch ratio in the EarthPCBMR composition formula would increase the flow rate. It should be understood that impact modifiers or temperature modifiers could be added to the substrate to adjust the properties of the resin substrate. For example, an impact modifier (e.g., Calcium Carbonate or Wollastonite CaSiO2) could be added to the substrate to provide increased strength to the product if it is made from the EarthPCBMR resin disclosed in this document. It is not known or obvious that impact modifiers would be added to Green PE or Green PP. However, a substrate component As listed above, the EarthPCBMR composition may also include impact modifiers or other additives that can be added to the EarthPCBMR substrate composition to add durability to products made from the EarthPCBMR composition and still achieve the goals for the EarthPCBMR composition to be biodegradable, biocompostable, recyclable. The EarthPCBMR composition may be provided with a method for producing a bioplastic made from the EarthPCBMR resin, in one aspect. The method for producing the EarthPCBMR composition to form a bioplastic may involve first grinding Green polyethylene or Green polypropylene and calcium carbonate into fine powders of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns in diameter, and then mechanically mixing the two powders together, to form a first mixture. Hemp, bamboo, fibers, grasses, cotton, or wood fibers may be ground into a fine powder of about 0.1 to 4.0 microns in diameter and then mechanically mixed and dry blended without heat with the first mixture, to form a second mixture. In this manner, it should be noted that no pre-drying of the substrate components is required, as is assumed by other bioplastics such as PLA, PHA, PHB. The second mixture comprises the Green polyethylene or Green polypropylene, calcium carbonate, and tow.MΛ / í O l Jo hemp. It should be understood that particles or granules of food starch or protein, for example (soy protein or pea protein, or potato starch, or tapioca starch) can replace the hemp tow or can be added with the hemp tow, mixing the hemp tow and protein particles, powders, granules. Then the food starch such as potato starch, tapioca, corn, wheat can be ground into a fine granulated powder of approximately 0.1 to 4.0 microns in diameter and can be mechanically mixed and dry combined without heat or pre-drying of the substrate components with the second mixture, to form a third mixture, to form a third mixture. It should be understood that a biodegradation additive can be ground into a fine granulated powder of approximately 0.1 to 4.0 microns in diameter and can be mechanically mixed and dry combined without heat or pre-drying with the third mixture, to form a fourth mixture.Finally, the third and final blend may be blended under agitation at a temperature between about 104 and 221°C (220 and 430°F) to thermodynamically activate and bond the material structures within each substrate copolymer to form the EarthPCB™ masterbatch resin. The structural components of the blend material are linked in a linear or branched manner via the heat bonding process. The EarthPCB™ resin may be. MA / t / ZUZZ / U / 0 / 00 cured between approximately 104 and 221°C (220 and 430°F) to form a master batch bioplastic in the form of a pelletized material.

In this way, an advantage of EarthPCBMR resin may be that products currently made from regular plastic can now be made from a recyclable, biodegradable, compostable resin. Traditional methods of curing and mixing petrochemical-based plastic resins involved first melting granular forms of each ingredient that makes up the composition. As previously discussed, the method for producing the low-carbon, renewable, sustainable, high-performance EarthPCBMR resin involves combining all the ingredients into a final powder mixture, rather than mixing the granules. MA / í O l Jo melts. Thus, an advantage of the method disclosed above may be that each component constituting the composition may be dry mixed and blended without heat or pre-drying of the resin components, and without pre-drying of the finished masterbatch resin before any material manufacturing processes such as injection molding, extrusion, extrusion blow molding, vacuum forming, thermoforming, rotomolding, etc., are performed, by way of example. It should be understood that the above-described exemplary embodiments of the low-carbon, renewable, sustainable, high-performance EarthPCBMR resin composition can be specifically formulated and used for a variety of applications. By way of example, for the production of packaging films, for example, soy protein may not be used but rather ground hemp tow, or bamboo grasses, green polyethylene, calcium carbonate, natural food starches, and a biodegradation additive could be preferably used in the preparation of the exemplary low-carbon, renewable, sustainable, high-performance EarthPCBMR composition, since protein such as soy protein, pea protein, could alter the integrity of the film products.
