A plastic material is defined as a bioplastic if it is either biobased, biodegradable or both. (Source: www.european-bioplastics.org)
BIO-BASEDThe material is wholly or partially derived from biomass. Biomass used for bioplastics is usually corn, sugar cane or cellulose.
BIO-DEGRADABLEBiodegradability is an inherent property of certain polymers. Biodegradation is a chemical process in which materials, with the help of microorganisms, are metabolised to water, carbon dioxide and biomass.
The drivers behind bioplastics are:

NATIVIAPACKAGING
LACTIC ACIDCOMPOSTING
NATIVIA® films, once converted
into packaging, are ideally
disposed in the organic waste:
they are certified according to
the standard EN 13432 so, under
industrial composting conditions,
they fully biodegrade within six
months into CO₂, water and
humus, a soil nutrient.
Organic recycling is a clear benefit
especially when packaging is
highly contaminated by product
residuals.
End-of-life options A closed loop
However, if no separate collection of organic waste is available, they can be disposed
in the residual waste and incinerated, producing renewable energy.
Mechanical and chemical recycling of PLA are technically feasible but not
economically viable yet.
