Transfer of knowledge, the first step into the world of bioplastics

On an every day basis we receive a lot of frequently asked questions about bioplastics, all from different perspectives. Curiosity is often the prime motive to get involved with bioplastics, leading to a series of basic questions:

• What are bioplastics made from?
• How fast do they dissolve or degrade in certain environments
• Are Bioplastics suited for food contact?
• What are the main differences with regular plastics?
• Are there big price differences with regular plastics?

Many of those questions have multiple answers. In order to get a transparent view of the possibilities it is always a good start to communicate the basics of bioplastics. Second a product or problem related approach will focus more on specific solutions.

Bio-Lite.eu has a broad network of professionals working with bioplastics which can be divided into different categories like plastic producer, testing laboratories, universities and experienced professionals in bioplastics. In this way Bio-lite.eu will be able to be of service for relatively material selection questions, but also for strategic product development and market approach for products made from bioplastics.
