Simply put, no. Because #bioplastics are a large family of different #plastics that can be either bio-based, #biodegradable, or both. However, bio-based does not mean biodegradable. The property of #biodegradability does not depend on the raw material base of a material, but is rather related to its chemical structure. Only if microorganisms and fungi, or their enzymes, can cleave and completely metabolize the molecules that make up the plastic is it biodegradable. In other words, biodegradability is a material property.

Are all bioplastics biobased and biodegradable? Not necessarily. According to our European Bioplastics definition #bioplastics are either #bioBased, #biodegradable, or both. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eujiyHzb #Bioplastics | #BioplasticsWeek | #Sustainability

Every business is different. Sustainability is defined differently across geographies, industries, companies, and sometimes even P&Ls and corporate groups. This can make sustainability complicated; Black & Veatch makes it simple. They start by understanding your motivations and desired outcomes and then work back. Discover how they can uncover the range of options you have to meet your goals and ensure that the options you select can provide a pre-determined return on investment, and more, in their brochure.

As a biotech graduate, I think the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) would be a powerful tool to accelerate the sustainable future in the biotech industry. Using LCA results as the foundation for improvisation, we could identify the process that generates the highest environmental impact, improve the product design to make it more eco-friendly, and a marketing tool. LCA provides data-driven insights for better decision-making for the industry. Read more on Ailesh to learn more about LCA and sustainability!
