In recent years, the detrimental impact of traditional plastics on the environment has prompted a global shift towards more sustainable alternatives. One such promising solution is the rise of bioplastics, an eco-friendly alternative that addresses the environmental challenges associated with plastics.
Bioplastics are a category of plastics that are derived from renewable biomass sources, such as plants, vegetable oils, and even algae whereas traditional plastics are derived from non-renewable fossil fuels like petroleum. Bioplastics offer a greener alternative by utilizing organic materials. This helps to make them a pivotal player in eco-friendly packaging solutions.
Benefits of Bioplastics
Bioplastics contribute to a significant reduction in carbon emissions compared to traditional plastics. The production of bioplastics generally involves fewer greenhouse gas emissions, making them a more environmentally friendly option.
Biome Technologies plc (LON:BIOM) is a growth oriented, commercially driven technology group. The Group’s primary activity is the development of its fast growing business in bioplastics. The Group comprises two divisions: Biome Bioplastics and Stanelco RF Technologies.
