Title Biobased plastics for the transition to a circular economy
Year 2024
Published
Abstract Plastics have effects on the environment that stem from huge quantities of their waste, limited recycling, landfilling, incineration, and accumulation in marine environments. The plastics' unique benefits make them irreplaceable, though they must be improved. Plastics are a key priority in the EU Action Plan for circular economy, that aims reducing use, increasing recycling, and introducing more biobased and/or biodegradable plastics in the market. While the reuse of plastics via mechanical recycling and the biobased conventional plastics' production such as PE and PET have increased, commercializing bioplastic products still faces challenges. This feature letter discusses bioplastics' properties, their main development challenges, and the authors' perspective on their broader introduction in the market.
