Bioplastic
Advantages
 Fewer Carbon Emissions. Bioplastics produce
significantly fewer greenhouse gases than
conventional plastics over their lifespan
 Enhanced Biodegradability
 They Can Be Recycled
 Less Plastic Pollution
 Improved Food Safety
 Make Better Use of Natural Resource
Disadvantages
 Growing demand for bioplastics creates
competition for food sources, contributing to
the global food crisis
 Bioplastics won't biodegrade in a landfill
 Bioplastics encourage people to litter more
 Bioplastics contaminate plastic recycling
streams
 Bioplastics are not the answer to marine litter

Materials used in bio plastic

Vegetable fats and oils
Corn starch
Straw
Woodchips
Sawdust
Recycled food waste
Why should we use bioplastic
Biobased plastics reduce dependence on
fossil resources whilst improving a
product's carbon footprint
