BLOG ABOUT GLOBAL PLASTIC WASTE PROBLEM AND ITS SOLUTIONS

Bioplastic materials’ value propositions well reflected in European Parliament’s report on Plastics Strategy

9/14/2018

"Bioplastics offer two paradigmatic developments at opposite ends of products’ life cycles. On the one hand, bio-based plastics enable feedstock diversification and the gradual transition away from fossil and towards renewable feedstocks. This is an essential value proposition in the EU’s bid to gain independence from fossil resource imports and to significantly reduce CO2emissions.
The other key innovation proposed by the bioplastics industry is biodegradability and compostability according to existing harmonized standard on industrial composting (EN 13432), that is, the conversion of plastic materials to water, biomass, and CO2 through microbial metabolisation. Applied to food contact applications such as biowaste collection bags or food packaging, biodegradability and compostability enables the optimisation of separate bio-waste collection for organic recycling, thus preserving valuable secondary resources and establishing an important aspect of the circular economy. In other environments, biodegradability can help to reduce plastic waste accumulation, for example in modern agriculture through the use of mulch films that are biodegradable in soil according to the standard EN 17033. In addition to this, there could also be selected future applications in marine contexts where items such as fishing gear are prone to being lost at sea unintentionally."

ABOUT BOSK BIOPRODUCTS

​BOSK is a Canadian company specializing in compostable bioplastics. BOSK develops, manufactures and distributes 100% bio-based and compostable PHA-based compounds. These compounds are sold under the trademark REGEN™ in pellet form to manufacturers of plastic products to substitute their petrochemical counterparts.
The key to REGEN™ is our FlexCarbon™ bio-fermentation technology which makes it possible to manufacture PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates, a compostable biopolymer) from untapped industrial carbon sources, such as pulp and paper sludge.

À propos de Bosk bioproduits

BOSK est une entreprise canadienne qui se spécialise dans les bioplastiques compostables. BOSK développe, fabrique et distribue des composés à base de PHA, 100% biosourcés et compostables. Ces composés sont vendus sous la marque REGEN™ sous forme de granules aux fabricants de produits en plastique pour substituer leurs homologues pétrochimiques. 
La clé de REGEN™ est notre technologie de bio-fermentation FlexCarbon™ qui permet de fabriquer du PHA (polyhydroxyalcanoates, un biopolymère compostable) à partir de sources industrielles de carbone inexploitées, telles que les boues de pâtes et papier. ​
