Plastics

摘要

The associations European Bioplastics and the European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence (EPNOE) published a study on bio-based plastics. Forecasts concerning capacity developments and technical substitution potentials are the focus of the investigations. The authors from Utrecht University estimate a substitution potential of up to 90 per cent of the total consumption of plastics by bio-based polymers to be technically possible. How fast this substitution will occur depends on a multitude of factors.
