What are
bioplastics and biocomposites?
Like all plastics, bioplastics
are composed of a polymer combined with plasticizers and
additives, and processed using extrusion or thermosetting.
True bioplastic
has a renewable and sustainable feedstock (to some extent). They
can be produced to biodegrade or have properties just as
traditional plastic.
A biocomposite is a material formed
by a mixture of natural fibers (usually derived from plants or
cellulose)
and traditional or biodegradable plastics. Biocomposites are
characterized by the fact that the petrochemical resin is
replaced by natural fiber.
Biocomposites can compete with
traditional plastic in many applications.
