Bioplastics are often claimed as low performance polymers. While the use of bioplastics is growing, increased performances are required.

Bioplastics formulation has a huge challenge ahead: increasing heat resistance of bioplastics while using the highest level of biobased carbons, or showing good biodegradability is just a small part of the iceberg. Adding bioplastics into traditional oil-based polymers is another part.

Bioplastics portfolio is rather small at the key resin manufacturers, the field is still very opened for compounders, leading to as many formulations and tailor-made bioplastics.
