We commonly called "bioplastics" polymers produced from annually renewable plant resources and / or biodegradable.

The raw material used for production of bioplastics of "first generation" is usually the starch from corn or even potatoes.

Many research is underway to diversify the plant resources used in order to use most of possible carbon sources available in nature (sugar, biomass, waste products ...).

The transition to the concepts of biorefineries or use of alternative energy (wind) will for example make the production process even cleaner..

Another class of bioplastics is a set of materials produced from petroleum but 100% biodegradable by their chemical nature. Most of these materials are copolyesters.

It should therefore not be confused with Additive-containing polyolefins (oxo-degradable or fragments).

The advantage of these plastics is to provide a greener alternative to the commonly used polymers, which are produced from fossil resources (oil) and whose end of life can not be managed by the individual or industrial composting.

Today we are working on different range of Bioplastics such as PLA (Poly Lactic Acid), PHA (Poly hydroxyalcanoate) or biodegradable copolyesters.
