WHAT ARE BIOPLASTICS?

Bio-based plastics are created from renewable, plant-based biomass and avoids the use of fossil fuels in their production.

COMPARED TO PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS

Conventional petroleum-based plastic comes from a non-renewable source and is both contaminating and non-biodegradable. It takes up to 1,000 years to degrade and when it does break down, it disintegrates into smaller and smaller pieces that are eventually absorbed by the environment. This poses serious environmental problems, resulting in floating garbage patches in the ocean and death of marine animals.
