Are you confused about certain aspects of packaging sustainability? You’re not alone. One of the most perplexing areas of sustainability is the intersection of compostable, biodegradable, and bioplastic packaging.
And while these are among the most hotly debated topics in the circular economy discussion, they are not synonymous.
Packaging materials made from plant-based sources are not inherently compostable or biodegradable. Certain compostable materials originate from oil-based sources. And if a material is compostable, it’s not necessarily biodegradable.
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.
