Industry Overview
Bioplastics are increasingly being considered as an alternative to conventional plastics manufactured from fossil-based resources, particularly for short-life plastic products where resource security and carbon impact are important sustainability concerns. Bio-based plastics are plastics in which part or all of the material is derived from renewable biomass resources, including plant-based molecular sources. Bio-based and biodegradable are distinct terms: a bio-based polymer is not necessarily biodegradable, while some biodegradable polymers may be derived from non-bio-based sources or require specific conditions for biodegradation.
The introduction of plant-based bio-PE as a drop-in alternative to fossil-derived polyethylene, together with increasing production capacity for bio-polymers, is expanding the potential of bioplastics within the wider plastics market. Renewable resources such as corn, sugar beet, cassava and sugarcane can provide feedstocks for bio-polymers. Growing demand and finite supplies of fossil resources, along with the potential for bio-based plastics to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or support carbon-neutral applications, are further contributing to interest in this industry. Biodegradable films and bags also offer opportunities for applications where environmental considerations are increasingly important.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bioplastics are plastics made partly or entirely from renewable biomass resources. These materials can use plant-based molecular sources such as agricultural crops and other renewable feedstocks instead of relying exclusively on fossil-derived raw materials. Bioplastics are being developed for applications including films, bags and packaging. Their environmental characteristics depend on their composition, manufacturing route and end-of-life conditions. Importantly, being bio-based does not automatically mean that a plastic is biodegradable.
Bio-based describes the origin of the raw material, while biodegradable describes how a material breaks down after disposal. A bio-based polymer may not be biodegradable, and some biodegradable polymers can be produced from non-bio-based sources. Biodegradation can also depend on specific environmental conditions, microorganisms, temperature, moisture and other factors. Therefore, the terms should not be treated as interchangeable when evaluating the environmental performance of plastic products.
Bioplastics can be manufactured using renewable biomass feedstocks such as corn, sugar beet, cassava and sugarcane. Depending on the polymer and production technology, other biological sources can also be used, including starch, bacteria, soy, cellulose and lignin. The choice of feedstock influences material properties, processing requirements and potential applications. Industrial selection generally considers availability, consistency, cost, compatibility with processing equipment and the required performance of the finished plastic film, bag or packaging product.
Biodegradable plastic films and bags are used in applications where flexible packaging and environmental considerations are important. Typical products can include carry bags, garbage bags and other packaging films, depending on the material formulation and required properties. Their suitability depends on factors such as strength, thickness, flexibility, sealing performance, printing requirements and the conditions under which disposal or biodegradation is expected to occur. Proper material selection is therefore essential for matching the product with its intended application.
Biodegradable film and bags can be manufactured through film extrusion followed by converting operations such as printing, slitting, punching and sealing. In blown film extrusion, the selected polymer formulation is processed through an extruder to form a tubular film, which is expanded and cooled before being wound. The film can then be converted into bags using suitable cutting, sealing and handle-making equipment. Coextrusion may also be used when multiple material layers are required to achieve specific performance characteristics.
Blown film extrusion is important because it provides a continuous method for producing flexible plastic film that can subsequently be converted into bags. The process allows manufacturers to control important characteristics such as film thickness and dimensional properties. The blow-up ratio, extrusion conditions and material formulation influence the final film performance. Coextrusion can further enable different material layers to be combined within one film structure. These capabilities make blown film extrusion suitable for producing a range of flexible packaging products from appropriate biodegradable or bio-based formulations.
