Bioplastics Used in Packaging Bags

Bioplastics are biodegradable materials that come from renewable sources and can be used to reduce the problem of plastic waste that is suffocating the planet and contaminating the environment.

Bioplastic: An alternative to traditional plastic

Now most packaging bag are make by normal plastic, plastic is the third most commonly used petroleum derivative in the world; each year 200 million tons of plastic are consumed on the planet. It comes from a non-renewable source (petroleum), it is contaminating and non-biodegradable (it can take more than 1000 years to decompose). This normal plastic bag is the cause of the death of marine species and fowl that ingest them (whales, sea turtles, albatross, etc.) and pose a serious environmental problem, such as garbage patches (islands of garbage).

Bioplastic packaging bags can 100% degradable, equally resistant and versatile, already used in agriculture, textile industry, medicine and, over all, in the container and packaging market, and biopolymers are already becoming popular in cities throughout Europe and the United States for ecological reasons: they are known as PLA.

Advantages of bioplastics:

• They reduce carbon footprint

• They providing energy savings in production

• They do not involve the consumption of non-renewable raw materials

• Their production reduces non-biodegradable waste that contaminates the environment

• They do not contain additives that are harmful to health, such as phthalates or bisphenol A

• They do not change the flavor or scent of the food contained
