Other Bio-based Plastics In recent years, bio-based plastics have attracted much attention due to their excellent environmental performance. Bio-based plastics refer to plastic materials made from renewable biological resources (such as plants, vegetable oils, etc.). Agricultural biomass is used as raw materials to transform into bio-based plastics. More and more research teams are committed to the research and development of bio-based materials, promoting the development of bio-based materials around the world. Bio-based polymers are products in which at least part of the polymer is made from materials derived from renewable raw materials. The rest of the polymer may contain carbon obtained from fossil resources. This type of plastic is not only biodegradable, but also reduces dependence on fossil fuels.
Starch is derived from renewable biomass such as corn, wheat, potatoes or cassava. This material is a starch-based thermoplastic with good biocompatibility and biodegradability. It can be used to make packaging materials, disposable tableware and various industrial applications. CD BioSciences can provide different specifications of bio-based composite materials, which can be extruded or injection molded.

Cellulose is a polysaccharide widely found in plants and is the main component of plant cell walls. Bio-based cellulose materials refer to a class of materials based on natural biomaterials, with cellulose as the main component. Cellulose is an important component of plant cell walls and is one of the most abundant organic polymers on earth. This type of material usually has good biocompatibility, biodegradability and excellent mechanical properties, and is widely used in medicine, food, packaging, construction and textiles. The characteristics of bio-based plastics made from bio-based cellulose materials are as follows:
Cassava is a starch-rich rhizome plant that is often used to produce bio-based materials. Cassava starch can be converted into thermoplastic starch materials, or it can be used as food and industrial raw materials with good plasticity and biodegradability. Cassava is a viable alternative to fossil raw materials used in plastic manufacturing. Bio-based lignin materials can be used as biocomposites, coatings, adhesives, etc., and have a wide range of application potential. Bio-based plastics made from bio-based lignin materials have the following advantages:
Lignin is an important component in plant cell walls with good mechanical properties and durability. Bio-based lignin materials refer to materials made from biomass resources (such as plant residues, wood, etc.) with lignin as the main component. Lignin is an important component of plant cell walls with good mechanical strength and chemical stability, so it has broad application prospects in the fields of materials science and engineering. Bio-based plastics made from bio-based lignin materials have the following advantages:
Bio-based plastics are plastics produced from renewable resources, which have the advantages of environmental protection and degradability. Its application fields cover many aspects, mainly including:
Bio-based plastics are widely used in food packaging, express packaging and other types of packaging materials. Due to its degradability, it can reduce the impact of plastic waste on the environment.
Bio-based plastics can be used to make agricultural films, seedling trays, seed bags, etc., which can be naturally degraded after use, helping to protect the soil and ecological environment.
Used in disposable medical devices, drug packaging, implants, etc., the biocompatibility and degradability of bio-based plastics provide new options for medical applications.
Bio-based plastics are also used in electrical housings, insulation materials, etc., meeting the needs of lightweight and environmental protection.
Some bio-based plastics are used to make building materials and household products, such as flooring, wall panels and furniture, with good mechanical properties and environmental protection characteristics.
In automobile manufacturing, bio-based plastics can be used for interior parts, dashboards and other parts to help reduce the weight of the car and improve fuel efficiency.
Bio-based plastics can also be used to produce synthetic fibers such as polyester and polyamide, which are used in clothing, home textiles and industrial materials.
Disposable tableware, cups, shopping bags, stationery, etc., using bio-based plastics can reduce dependence on traditional plastics.
Bio-based plastics are plastics produced from renewable biological resources and have received widespread attention in recent years. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the rising demand for sustainable development, the bio-based plastics market has shown rapid growth. The production process and technology of bio-based plastics are constantly improving, including improved fermentation technology, polymerization process, etc. The development of new bio-based plastics, such as PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) and PLA (polylactic acid), has better performance. The application of bio-based plastics has gradually expanded from packaging and textiles to automobiles, electronics and other fields, providing new options for the sustainable development of different industries.
Although bio-based plastics have many advantages, they still face some challenges, including the accessibility of raw materials, high cost, and unstable performance. In addition, the requirements for degradation conditions of some bio-based plastics may also affect their environmental friendliness. The bio-based plastics industry is in a stage of rapid development, but to achieve wider application and sustainable development, some technical, economic and environmental challenges still need to be overcome.
