About Bioplastic
Facts about bioplastics
Economic Study of the Canadian Plastic Industry, Market and Waste shows that the total amount of plastics consumed in Canada in 2016 was 4.6 million metric tons. The biggest source of waste comes from packaging, then automotive parts, electronics, and textiles.
Bioplastics are generally considered as an eco-friendly alternative to petrochemical plastics because of their production from renewable resources and their biodegradability. The idea is that these new, earthier plastics can replace the harmful ones in our food and around our home.
Scientists and manufacturers generally describe bioplastics in the following ways:
- Non-biodegradable. These bioplastics aren’t easily broken down by organisms.
- Partially bio-based, “durable” plastics are not compostable. Microorganisms can break these down, but the process generally takes longer than 3-6 months.
- Biodegradable, compostable plastics that need commercial facilities to decompose.
Bioplastics are used for disposable items, such as packaging, crockery, cutlery, pots, bowls, and straws. In principle they could replace many applications for petroleum-derived plastics, however, cost and performance remain problematic. Their usage is financially favorable only if supported by specific regulations limiting the usage of conventional plastics.
