Transcript of The world of bioplastics 2010
The World of BioplasticsDr. Jim Lunt
Biobased Plastics Major focus is on the “origin of life” or where did the carbon come from
(ASTM D6866). Uses C14 content measurement.
Biodegradable (Compostable) PlasticsFocus is on “end of life or disposal.”
Independent of Carbon Source StandardsEN 13432 and ASTM D6400.
These two classes are, however,not mutually exclusive.
Biobased & Biodegradable
Projected Biomaterials Trends
GlobalDemand
for bioplastics will increase more than
fourfold to
900,000 tonnes in
2013.
(Freedonia)
Projected Biomaterials Trends
Global Production
of bioplastics will increase sixfold to
1.5 million tonnes
by 2011.
up from 262,000 tonnes in 2007.

Projected Biomaterials Trends
ProductionCapacity
of bio-based plastics is projected
to increase from 360,000 tonnes in 2007 to about
2.3 MILLION tonnes
by 2013.

GlobalDemand
for bioplastics will increase more than
fourfold to
900,000 metric tons
in 2013.
(Freedonia)
Projected Biomaterials Trends
Increasing demand for biobased, durable products in electronics and automotive applications.
By 2011 durables are expected to account for almost 40% of bioplastics –
compared with 12% today.(European Bioplastics)
Projected Biomaterials Trends
Bioplastics will still only be 1% of the approximate 230 million tonnes
of plastics in use today.
Projected Biomaterials Trends
What is Driving
this Growth?
Oil Independence
Environmental
Pollution
Global Warming
Human Health
Concerns
Legislation
Legislation Against Petroleum Based Plastics
Japan Government has set a goal that 20% of all plastics
consumed in Japan will be renewably sourced by 2020.
GermanyBan on land filling solid waste with over 5% organic content.
Biodegradable plastics exempt from the recycling directive until 2012.
Savings of 1.3 €/kg in favor of compostable bioplastics.
USAFederal Farm Bill - Energy Title 9
Each Federal agency must design a plan to purchase asmany biobased plastics as practically possible.
Federal procurement plan will be based on biobasedcontent, price and performance.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………WHO? WHAT?
Continuing lack of infrastructure for useand disposal of compostable plastics.
Many biobased plastics players too focused oncompostability as the key differentiating asset.
Increasing demand for biobased, semi durableand durable products for household goods,electronics and automotive applications.
Increasing interest and developments in existing and new monomers from renewable resources.
