A little bit of vocabulary: Bioplastics Biobased Biodegradable Bioplastics are biobased and/or The term “biobased” (in agreement We can talk about a biodegradable biodegradable polymers . These with the norm EN 16575 : 2014) material if it can be decomposed and materials are split into two groups: represents a part of material made absorbed by micro-organisms biobased polymers equivalent to completely or partially from (bacteria, fungus, algae, etc.). The existing fossil-based polymers (PE, PET, renewable resources. This part can result of this process is the formation biobased PA, etc.) and biobased and/or represent a variable proportion of the of water, CO₂ and/or methane and biodegradable polymers with innovative material. To this day, there is no possibly by-products non toxic for structures (PLA, PHA, PBS, PBAT, etc.) established minimum rate that the environment (residues, a new specifies the use of this term. biomass).
