A plastic material is defined as bioplastic if it is biobased, biodegradable, or both. That is, bioplastics can be biobased or biodegradable, or contain both.

Bioplastics are mainly

• biologically based,
• biodegradable,
• Or plastics that are both.

Bioplastics have the same properties as conventional plastics. However, it additionally has a reduced carbon footprint or has waste management options such as composting.

Bioplastics is an important part of the bioeconomy and is a fast-developing and innovative sector with the potential to decouple economic growth from resource depletion and environmental impacts.

Bioplastics are a diverse family of materials with different properties. It is basically divided into three main groups:

• Biobased or partially biobased, non-biodegradable plastics (such as PE, PP or PET) or biobased technical performance polymers (such as PTT or TPC-ET)
• Plastics, both biobased and biodegradable (such as PLA and PHA or PBS)
• Biodegradable plastics based on fossil sources (such as PBAT)

Today, bioplastics represent one percent of the approximately 370 million tons of plastic produced annually. But as demand grows and more sophisticated materials, applications and products emerge, the market is growing very dynamically.

Durable plastics such as biobased or partially biobased PE, PP, PET or PVC have the same properties as conventional types. These bioplastics are technically equivalent to their fossil counterparts. It still helps reduce a product's carbon footprint. It is also mechanically recyclable in accordance with existing recycling streams.

Meanwhile, new cellulose or starch-based materials such as PLA, PHA offer solutions with completely new functionalities such as compostability and, in some cases, optimized barrier properties. Along with the increase in the diversity of bioplastic materials, flexibility, durability, printability, transparency, barrier, heat resistance, gloss and many more properties have been significantly improved.

Our organization always follows domestic and foreign standards, applicable legal regulations and generally accepted practices in certification and labeling studies, and also has a trained and experienced staff and advanced technological facilities. In this context, requesting businesses,It also provides compost certification and C-Label (Compost Labeling) compost labeling services.
