What are Biopolymers & Biopastics? They are often referred to as bio based plastics/polymers or biodegradeable plastics/polymers. Biopolymers are plastics which are present in

or created by

living organisms. they include polymers from renewable resources that can be polymerized into bioplastics. Bioplastics are plastics maunfactured using polymers

that are biodegradeable. Biopolymers/bioplastics are not new products

Henry Ford developed a method of manufacturing plastic car parts in the mid-1900’s

but with WW11 the development of the process was shelved. Biotech® is leading the way with new manufacturing techniques and applications being developed through biotechnology that are being put into production today. Biopolymers and bioplastics are the main components in creating a sustainable plastics industry. These products will reduce the dependence on fossil non-renewable fossil fuels

and are easily biodegradeable. Together

this will greatly limit the environmental impact of plastics and the manufacturing process. Biodegradeable plastics are becoming the industry standards driven by consumer need

and acceptable for long term use by society. The future of these products will make plastics more affordable

even as fossil fuels reserves diminish.
