One of the most common idea made by people outside the plastics industry about “bioplastics” is that they are all biodegradable.

A responsible solution that conveniently disappear over time. It is important to say that biodegradability is, in fact, not the first desirable feature for bioplastics. It is still a communication image but it will now become an integral part of the plastics producer’s cultures and missions. Important new strategies have been developed, driven by the emergence of bioeconomy, to find better way to recycle, reuse but most important to reduce packaging material, lower the thickness to cut back on waste.

The most appropriate term to use to define all the different types of bioplastics is now “biobased”. This regroup two categories: the first one is both biobased and biodegradable (mostly industrially) with the most well-known, PLA or PHA. The second category is biobased but not biodegradable, such as bio-PE or bio-PET which are quite similar as their petroleum-based counterparts.

The important fact is that it doesn’t come from non-renewable source anymore but from renewable biomass different kinds such as sugar cane, corn, wood and many others (less than 1% of actual agricultural production.

Still, an adequate collection schemes and processing facilities have to be developed to create an optimum organic recycling system.

Even it is one of the fastest-growing innovative market with an expected 20% growth in the next five years, it’s still a niche representing only 1% of the total overall production of plastic (Packaging representing 60% of it). Thanks to a stronger political commitment into a transition to a more circular economy and the increasing demand for sustainable products by consumers, there may be an even faster acceleration of the bioplastics industry.

The surplus of hard plastics in our stock, like rails for spouted bags, are send to another recycling company that uses these plastics to other products such as plastic furniture, road blocks, plastic pallets, benches etc.

At EPOCA PRODUCTS we think about the future of our planet. Plastic packaging is one of the most sustainable packaging solutions. Plastic packaging is lightweight, cost-efficient and does a great job protecting and preserving food.

Besides the sustainability of plastic packaging, we try as EPOCA PRODUCTS to make a difference by planting, via Weforest/Plantatree, at each order one tree.
