European Bioplastics believes that certified compostable plastics are essential in achieving a circular economy and calls for the recognition of their important role within municipal biowaste management: They are designed for organic recycling. They help to safeguard separate waste streams. They help to increase the collection of biowaste. They help to ensure the quality [...]

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

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

Sandrine Ishimwe2024-06-28T10:49:15+02:0028 June 2024|Tags: agro-based, bioeconomy, biomass, bioplastics, feedstock, policy, sustainability|

Bioplastics are predominantly produced from agro-based 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 [...]
