Bioplastics are segmented into biodegradable plastics (bio-based and fossil-based) and non-biodegradable plastics (bio-based).
Currently, non-biodegradable plastics (bio-based) account for around 72% of bioplastic market.
Bio-based, non-biodegradable plastics, including the drop-in solutions, such as, bio-based PE (polyethylene), bio-based PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and bio-based PA (polyamides), currently make up for around 56% of the global bioplastics production capacities.
The production of bio-based PE is predicted to continue to grow, as new capacities are planned in Europe, during the forecast period.
Bio-based PE is used in packaging applications, such as, carry bags, plastic films, and bottles.
-France to set penalties on goods packaged with non-recycled plastic in 2019

rance plans to introduce a penalty system next year that would increase the cost of consumer goods with packaging made of non-recycled plastic, part of a pledge to use only recycled plastic nationwide by 2025, an environment ministry official said on Sunday.
Brune Poirson, secretary of state for ecological transition, said the move was one of several to be implemented in coming years, including a deposit-refund scheme for plastic bottles.
More and more companies from the plastics industry are working on improving the recyclability of plastics and thus helping to create a circular economy. One way that BASF is contributing is the ChemCycling project: At the end of 2018, the company first used pilot volumes of a pyrolysis oil derived from plastic waste as a feedstock in its own production.
At a press conference in advance of K 2019, the world’s largest trade show for the plastics and rubber industry, four partners have showcased the first prototypes that were created during the pilot phase of the project.
-Watch: Italy’s answer to the problem with plastic
Damning reports have suggested the amount of plastic in the world’s oceans will outweigh fish by 2050.
Not only is plastic leaking into seas at a startling rate – a truckload per minute, according to World Economic Forum – but once it’s in there, fish mistake it for food.
The situation has left companies across Europe scrambling to produce alternatives to our growing problem with plastics.
-SUV front-end support made from continuous-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite
Tepex dynalite continuous-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite sheets from Lanxess can be used to manufacture large, highly integrated structural components for automotive lightweight design.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV, for example, features a front-end support comprising two welded composite half-shells made from polypropylene-based Tepex dynalite 104-RG600(3)/47% sections measuring roughly 1.2 meters in length and 0.35 meters in width. Polymers Petrochemicals Seat Fabric
-Car seats: Are they important?
Safety, better driving, fuel efficiency and more come with paying attention to car seats
Dubai: Do you pay any attention to the car seats when deciding to buy a car?
Experts will tell you that you should. In fact, that should be among your top considerations when purchasing a vehicle.
Seats are as important as the engine, particularly if you are driving a fast car. A good seat helps improve safety, makes us better drivers and can even increase a car’s fuel efficiency, say experts.
Whether buyers take car seats seriously or not, manufacturers are certainly doing so. It’s not just cushion, fabric and leather that goes into making a car seat. Seat making has become a specialised field now, with automakers contracting dedicated firms, such as Adient, Faurecia and Lear, to get the job done. Polymers Petrochemicals Seat Fabric
-FAQ’s on Plastics 25 important questions that will help us find solutions to the plastic crisis.
In our full entry on Plastic Pollution we provide an in-depth overview of global plastic production, distribution, management, and impacts through data visualisations and explainers. There you should find most of the data and context needed to understand the problem of global plastics.
However, having worked with the YouTube channel, Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell, on its video on Plastics and its AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Plastics at Reddit, it is clear that people have many burning questions on the topic.
-New line concept for single-origin packaging solutions to meet demands of a circular economy
Brückner Maschinenbau is working on a means to make films with the highest possible recycling capabilities producible on film stretching lines. The focus is on mono-material film with superior mechanical and optical properties, which will be able to substitute previous multi-layer films made from different materials. These are ideal for the use in new, single-origin packaging and guarantee good sortibility in waste separation and optimal recycling.
For the K 2019 Brückner will introduce two completely new line concepts for the production of BOPE films (biaxially oriented polyethylene). Film producers can chose between a working width of 6.6 m and an output of 3 t/h, or a working width of 8.7 m and an output of 5 t/h. These are 5 layer concepts for an extended range of films.
-Xinhua Headlines: China’s war on trash creates market for European green enterprises
Trash separation is the talk of the town in China these days as the government unveils a list of 46 “pilot cities” to build up a garbage sorting and processing system by 2020.
Mandatory schemes on household garbage sorting have already emerged in metropolises like Shanghai in order to improve its recycling rates.
Moreover, an investment of 21.3 billion yuan (about 3.1 billion U.S. dollars) will be allocated to speed up building the recycling system, according to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. P
-Borouge will complete the construction of a new black PE production in 2020
Borouge, a joint venture between Borealis and the Abu Dhabi National Oil company, plans to complete the construction of a new black polyethylene (PE) pipe plant in Ruwais, UAE in 2020, ICIS reports citing source in the company.
The new plant corresponds to the company’s goal – to double its production capacity of the material by 2030, the company said. Polymers Petrochemicals Seat Fabric

Safety first – BASF’s flame-retardant plastics
The speed at which we are able to optimize the performance, weight, safety and above all the efficiency of electric drive trains will be a crucial factor in the success of electromobility.
Flame-retardant plastics are indispensable in enabling savings to be made in terms of the weight and installation space required for high-voltage components.
Special polyamide (PA) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) grades from BASF can be used as halogen-free, flame-retardant materials to give high-voltage components both inside and outside of the vehicle the exact properties required.

The U.S. State Department has threatened China with sanctions because of its continued imports of Iranian oil—a move that was only to be expected but hardly the wisest one amid still high trade tensions between the two countries.
“We’re going to zero [exports of Iranian crude] and … countries that don’t abide by US sanctions will face repercussions for not abiding by US sanctions,” S&P Global Platts quoted a State Department spokeswoman as saying. “That goes for China or any other country in the world. We expect all countries to abide by US sanctions.”

-Sustainable plastics: How far and how fast can we go?
Much of what consumers have seen and heard about plastics in the past year or two can be described, at best, as thought provoking and, at worst, as downright negative.
It’s therefore unsurprising that packaging has been the focus of attention, and this industry has been making good progress for some years toward more sustainable options.
