Bioplastics

A plastic created from either a part percentage or 100% natural renewable resources. Bioplastics are roughly divided into three main groups: 1. Biobased or partly biobased non-biodegradable plastics such as biobased PE, PP, or PET (so-called drop-ins) and biobased technical performance polymers such as PTT or TPC-ET. 2. Plastics that are both biobased and biodegradable, such as PLA and PHA or PBS. 3. Plastics that are based on fossil resources and are biodegradable, such as PBAT.14 *bioplastics are used to make biobased melt spinnable fibers.
