How many types of bioplastic do you consider using for your packaging?
Bio-based plastics can be broadly categorized into three types.
Type 1 includes both biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials that are derived from petroleum.
Type 2 is based on renewable resources such as starch, cellulose, and proteins.
Type 3 is a combination of both biosources and petroleum and includes polyesters and thermosets.
Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, and different companies specialize in producing different types of bio-based plastics. It's important to choose the right type of bio-based plastic based on your specific application and environmental goals.
