What are Bioplastics?

Biodegradable polymers with approved biodegradability

Polymers based on renewable raw materials

Most of the bioplastics are based on agricultural feedstocks

Many of the products are biodegradable / compostable

Developments

In the early 1950s,Amylomaize (>50% starch content corn) was successfully bred and commercial

bioplastics applications started to be explored.

In 2004, NEC developed a flame retardant plastic, polylactic acid, without using toxic chemicals such

as halogens and phosphorus compounds .

In 2005, Fujitsu became one of the first technology companies to make personal computer cases

from bioplastics, which are featured in theirFMV-BIBLO NB80K line.

In 2007 Braskem of Brazil announced it had developed a route to manufacture high density

polyethylene (HDPE) using ethylene derived from sugar cane.

Managing a carbon economy role of bioplastics

Compared with traditional plastics, their production results in the emission of less

carbon dioxide

Manufacturing bioplastics delivers a fossil fuel saving of between 25 and 68 per cent

compared with polyethylene

As it is possible to close the carbon loop by composting and energy recovery,

bioplastics make a positive contribution to climate protection

India

The annual consumption of plastics in India is about to reach 4kg/person/year, which is very small

compared to a world average of 24.5kg.

But with a population of 1.0 billion people the total demand for plastic in India is still around 4 million

tonnes and growing fast.

Plastic polybags have been banned in a number of states and cities in India, e.g. Haryana, Himachal

Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Chandigarh, Ghaziabad and Noida in UttarPradesh.

Other states are also considering similar policies and this can be expected to stimulate interest in the

use of biodegradable polymers and recycling technologies.

Scientists at the Centre forPolymer Science & Engineering ofIIT-Delhi have been improving theircapacity to make biodegradable which is used extensively in the Indian packaging industry.

Scientists at the Central Tuber Crops Research Institute (CTCRI), Thiruvananthapuram, have

developed an inexpensive method to develop biodegradable plastics

Future of Bioplastics

Existing Petrochemistry and refinery will accelerate use of green platform chemicals in

manufacturing bioplastics by natural integration

Consumer petro-plastics will continue to play good role in commodity market for their

cost benefit

Cheaper ways to transform renewables to monomer/plastics will be the way forward in

high volume market including automotive!

Summary & Conclusions

Bioplastics & Biodegradable Polymers are an important innovation of the chemical & plastics

industry

Market introduction has started successfully

Support from the legal framework would accelerate the market development

All recycling options can be used

Technical potential today: Appr. 10% of the plastics consumption

Main benefits: Reduced CO2 emissions, saving fossil resources

Very high consumer acceptance revealed by market research
