Biobased plastics
are (partly) made of
raw materials
from natural and
renewable sources
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BIOBASED PLASTICS

Biobased plastics
are sometimes
biodegradable,
but not always!

biodegradable plastics
‘Bioplastics’ are
biobased plastics
and/or
biodegradable
plastics!
Research programme Urban Technology Volume • Conventional plastics still dominate the market • But European bioplastics market growing with 20% yearly
Price • Now: 2-4x higher, but will drop with economies of scale • When biodegradable total system costs may be lower Drivers for change • Independence of fossil fuel • Green legislation - consumer demand • Unique characteristics - specific properties

material selection and product design
What are the environmental impact, lifecycle costs and other advantages?
Assessing impact and benefits 2
How do I show that my product is made of biobased plastics?
Guidelines for look & feel 3
