Is there competition between biomass use for food, feed and bioplastics production?

2025-06-18T10:46:38+02:0028 June 2024|Tags: , , , , , , , |

Bioplastics are predominantly produced from agriculture feedstock (i.e., plants that are rich in carbohydrates) which is currently the most efficient way to produce bioplastics, as it requires the least amount of land to grow and produces the highest yields. The huge difference between the land used for bioplastics and that for food, feed, and [...]
