Transcript of Sugarcane Presentation
What are What are Bio-plastics/BiopolymersBio-plastics/Biopolymers
The disadvantage in using Plastics: ◦The most common Polymers in use are extracted
from fossils which are finite resources and the manufacturing process is polluting.
◦These Polymers are not degradable post consumption.
Advantages in using Bio-Plastics◦Bio-plastics are plastic components which
meet at least one of the following criteria: Bio-plastics are using renewable plant based
resources. Bio-plastic is biodegradable, means it can be
decomposed to water and carbon dioxide by microorganisms.
◦Bio-based polymers make low CO2 footprint
Carbon footprint
Total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person
Greenhouse gases can be emitted through transport, production and consumption of food, fuels, manufactured goods & materials, roads, building’s constructions, and services. For simplicity of reporting, it is often expressed in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent of other GHGs, emitted.
