A sustainable alternative to traditional plastics, bioplastics are industrial products that are fully or partially bio-based, and/ or biodegradable or compostable. In other words, they are plastics that are made from renewable resources (plants like corn, tapioca, potatoes, sugar and algae), and they will break down faster than traditional plastics, which are typically made from petroleum, and other fossil resources such as natural gas. Also, bioplastics support the earth by offering a reduced carbon footprint thereby protecting our global environment. Bioplastic is a non-toxic alternative to traditional plastic. |
