LBNet/BBNet report: “Plastics in the Bioeconomy” is now available
This report was commissioned by the LBNet, a phase I NIBB, and the newly funded Biomass Biorefinery Network (BBNet), a Phase II BBSRC NIBB.
This report summarises:
- The current status of compostable plastics;
- How the market for compostable plastics could grow;
- What the most suitable biomass resources are that could be used as feedstock; and
- How bio-plastics could contribute to targets for plastic packaging as set out by the UK Plastic Pact for 2025 along with a strategy for how this could be achieved.
The focus of this study is on consumer-based single-use packaging
