The healthcare industry is taking a big step towards sustainability, and bioplastics are playing a crucial role. What makes bioplastics truly stand out in this space is their ability to meet the high-quality standards that healthcare demands. From surgical instruments to medical packaging and drug delivery systems, bioplastics offer the strength, sterility, and safety needed in critical healthcare environments. #BioplasticsWeek #Bioplastics #Biobased #Innovation #Sustainability

In May of this year, we released an updated Bioplastics Market Watch report. It provides key take aways about the current state of the bioplastics industry such as how to communicate the benefits of bioplastics, an economic evaluation of bioplastics, and understanding the consumer perception of these products. You'll also find case studies from both Braskem and Leistritz Extrusion. Take a look! https://brnw.ch/21wNGda #BioplasticsWeek #Bioplastics #Biobased #Economics

For decades, a debate has raged on that bioplastics are negatively impacting the availability of food for human consumption. Although this misconception has been proven wrong many times, the question is still frequently asked. Dan Martnes with Novamont is setting the record stright by explaining why bioplastics do not compete with food avaialbility.

Imagine a world where we grow the materials used to make single-use items and return them back to the soil after we are done with them. This scenario is not only possible, it is already happening on a small scale across the world through the use of biobased and compostable bioplastics. Brent Westbrook with Mitsubishi Chemical Group shares his insights on the circularity of bioplastics.

Drop-in biobased plastics are plastics made from plants that can be recycled in the same existing stream as their fossil based counterparts (biobased PE can be recycled the same way as fossil based PE). These drop-in solutions are a necessary part of achieving a net zero emission circular economy. https://brnw.ch/21wNE8w Braskem #BioplasticsWeek #Biobased #Sustainability #Recycling

Compostable packaging is a great tool for certain applications, like foodservice ware and produce packaging, where it helps to encourage composting of food waste, but it’s not a blanket solution to the ocean plastic problem. To realize the full sustainability potential of compostable bioplastics, you can check out Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC)'s resource on compostable products. https://brnw.ch/21wNDQ1 #BioplasticsWeek #Bioplastics #Biobased #Compostable

We would like to give an Honorable Mention to CJ BIOMATERIALS, Inc. for their continued leadership in the bioplastics industry. Their new 100% biobased and naturally biodegradable amorphous PHA (PHACT A1000P) is a high performance rubber that improves toughness, flexibility, and increases rate of composting of other compostable products such as PLA. At high enough concentrations of A1000P in PLA, the PLA-rich product becomes home compostable. #BioplasticsWeek #Biobased #Bioplastics #Innovation
