4、Unlike some bioplastics, it is a drop that will neither compost nor biodegrade, though it will be recyclable.
1、Some bioplastics have a higher environmental footprint than certain petroleum-based plastics, research finds.
6、And bioplastics made from sugar cane are poised to move from the laboratory to the corner store, with the launch of soft-drink bottles.
5、Growing the plastic in a plant will allow for the switchgrass to produce both bioplastics and use residual biomass for energy, according to the company.
7、There exits three types of bioplastics:(1) based on polymers directly from natural origins;(2) based on polymers polymerized from natural monomers;(3) based on polymers produced via fermentation processes.
3、Chemicals and energy needed to grow the crops that provide the raw materials for bioplastics create the larger footprint.
2、In this paper, the performances, characteristics, applications and development trends of three types of bioplastics are summarized and discussed.
