Have you ever heard about bioplastic?

It is glad to find news on the Internet where you can read that important companies are taking care of sustainability.on
An important food and beverage company is using bioplastic taps for 4 lines of products in Brazil. This pleasant new made me read more about bioplastics.


"Bioplastics are a form of plastics derived from renewable biomass sources, such as vegetable fats and oils, corn starch, pea starch, or microbiota, rather than fossil-fuel plastics which are derived from petroleum. Some, but not all, bioplastics are designed to biodegrade." Wikipedia.


Nowadays the industry is not highly developed. But it is improving day by day and production of this materials reduces greenhouses gases emission and the energy needed for the production.
We have as well some disadvantages as deforestation and degradation. That has to be under controlled conditions of industrial composting units.


We hope that more important brands care about sustainability and invest to find new ways of packaging that care our planet.
Long way for find the perfect material, but correct way though.
