These “bioplastics” (let us call them so for simplicity) have several benefits:
- Being from renewable resources.
- Their carbon footprint is usually lower than traditional, fossil-fuel plastics.
- When they are engineered to biodegrade in composting facilities, their end-of-life processes – either biodegradation, composting or recycling through anaerobic digestion (AD) – guarantees they are benign to the environment.
- They can be used to collect the organic waste (biowaste) we produce, then sent back to composting and from there, back to soil.
