No.38 Online Seminar “Fundamentals of Bioplastics and Their Future Prospects toward 2050”
[Date] Wednesday, March 23, 2022, 14:00-15:30 Online
[Summary]
The new plastics law is about to go into effect this April. Among the various measures of that new law, bioplastics are being discussed as one of the most important ones. The domestic input of biomass plastics was 72,000 tons in 2018, but the “Plastic Resource Recycling Strategy” calls for the “introduction of 2 million tons of biomass plastics by 2030. However, awareness about bioplastics does not seem to be widespread. This is because there is so much confusion between “biomass plastic” and “biodigradeable plastic. Therefore, we would like to invite Mr. Hiroyuki Mori, Advisor of the Japan BioPlastics Association, to talk about the basics of bioplastics and how to utilize them in the design of recycling-oriented products and to optimize their management and processing in the supply chain.
