There is a broad spectrum of applications for polymers. In addition, they have a low weight, long shelf-life and can also be used in sensitive application areas like the food or pharmaceutical industry.</p> <p>Therefore it comes as no surprise that plastics are used en masse in packaging. According to information by the German association <a title="https://www.interpack.com/vis/v1/en/exhprofiles/uco6ncqcQPeNt96Hvou3LA" href="https://www.interpack.com/vis/v1/en/exhprofiles/uco6ncqcQPeNt96Hvou3LA" target="_blank">IK - Industrievereinigung Kunststoffverpackungen e.V.</a>, in 2021 <strong>in Germany alone, more than four million tons of plastic were produced for packaging</strong> – whether for wraps, bottles, closures, bags or pallets. This means that production increased by 1.5 percent compared to the previous year.</p> <p>But this blessing also has a darker side. Plastics, and this also applies to packaging made thereof, are said to be harmful to the environment. One the one hand, the industry has made lots of progress regarding recycling and circular economy. On the other, there is one factor that remains unchangeable, regardless of reusability:<strong> New plastics are usually made from oil</strong>, and therefore from a finite resource.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><div class="dim-chapter dim-chapter-headline grid__item palm-one-whole lap-one-whole desk-one-whole desk-wide-one-whole "> <h2 class=" gamma weight--light " > What exactly are bioplastics? </h2> </div><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><div class="dim-chapter dim-chapter-text-media-module grid__item palm-one-whole lap-one-whole desk-one-whole desk-wide-one-whole "> <div class="media-module "> <div class="media"> <div class="media__body"> <div class="media__body__txt media__body__txt--link-icons"> However, most products definitely need packaging.

There are nevertheless fossil plastics which are biodegradable, and many universities and research centres are studying bacteria which might be able to decompose fossil plastics. But right now their proportion is still insignificant. <strong>Therefore, as a rule, bioplastics are for the greatest part produced from sustainable raw materials.</strong> Compared to fossil raw materials, this is already an advantage. Further, bioplastics can already be produced in part from already used organic material, which further improves their environmental impact from cultivation. This is called multiple sequential use. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><div class="dim-chapter dim-chapter-headline grid__item palm-one-whole lap-one-whole desk-one-whole desk-wide-one-whole "> <h2 class=" gamma weight--light " > What can bioplastics do? </h2> </div><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><div class="dim-chapter dim-chapter-text-media-module grid__item palm-one-whole lap-one-whole desk-one-whole desk-wide-one-whole "> <div class="media-module "> <div class="media"> <div class="media__body"> <div class="media__body__txt media__body__txt--link-icons"> <p>Regarding applications, bioplastics are just as versatile as their fossil counterparts. Because common plastics like polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) can for example also be gained from sugar cane or from bio masses that are created during the production of plant oil.<strong> It is true that plastics are still partially produced from both fossil and biobased polymers, but that can change as well in the future.</strong></p> <p>The industry is confident in any case. Only in December 2022, European Bioplastics announced that production capacity in the EU will rise from about 2.23 million tons in 2022 to about 6.3 mio tons in 2027, so roughly triple. The main driving force behind this development is the packaging industry. <strong>The reason being that a good 48 percent of all bioplastics produced in the EU – one million tons, no less – were intended for packaging production in 2022.</strong></p> <p>This includes the use of bioplastics in sensitive areas like food packaging.

The reason is that NatureFlex wraps, like most biobased wraps, should not enter the raw material circulation for recyclable, fossil plastics, but be added to the compost or the residual waste, in case they are not compostable. <strong>The processing companies have the responsibility to alert their customers through information on the packaging.</strong></p> <p>Another challenge that companies face when using bioplastics is their ability to be processed. The new raw materials might have similar properties to fossil plastics, but: <strong>This does not mean they can just be fed into the same machines.</strong> For example, Cocoa Canopy worked closely together both with Futamura and mechanical engineering company BW Flexibles. CEO Nav Notay: “Futamura has contributed a lot to our success. Especially regarding the right bag packaging machines, we have received support and found the perfect solution with the engineers.”</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><div class="dim-chapter dim-chapter-headline grid__item palm-one-whole lap-one-whole desk-one-whole desk-wide-one-whole "> <h2 class=" gamma weight--light " > What does the future hold? </h2> </div><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><!-- trim --><div class="dim-chapter dim-chapter-text-media-module grid__item palm-one-whole lap-one-whole desk-one-whole desk-wide-one-whole "> <div class="media-module "> <div class="media"> <div class="media__body"> <div class="media__body__txt media__body__txt--link-icons"> <strong>One current favourite within the sector is the bioplastic polyethylene furanoate (PEF).</strong> The material is gained from plant sugar – usually from corn, wheat or sugar beets – and displays similar properties to PET.

PEF has a 12 °C higher resistance to heat compared to PET and greater stability. <strong>This makes the development of light packaging material made from PET possible with less use of resources. </strong>Avantium has already used this plant based packaging material in a pilot run, and in autumn 2022 has started building a plant for furandicarboxylic acid with a capacity of 5,000 tons per year in Delfzijl in the Netherlands.</p> <p>In many applications, bioplastics therefore already are a possible alternative to conventional fossil plastics, or constitute a sensible addition. As production increases on an industrial scale, the materials should become interesting for mid-sized and small companies, too, and also achieve a positive impact on the carbon footprint.</p> </div>
