Reuse and Recycle: Improving End of Life Options for Bioplastics

“生物塑料有望成为油基塑料的领先可行替代品，但为了获得市场牵引力，需要对材料性能进行重大改进，以使其从利基部署到大规模采用。Floreon提供高性能生物塑料，不消耗地球。该项目的目的是进一步提高现有生物塑料化合物的性能，提高其可重复使用性和可回收性，从而开辟新的和苛刻的应用，如体育场/节日杯和餐具。使用可持续来源的生物塑料生产这些产品将减少石油基塑料的使用，为石油依赖提供可行的替代方案。Floreon的生物塑料的基础材料是完全可再生的，并且生产的碳足迹要低得多（比聚苯乙烯低70%），因此所得产品在使用前后都对环境更好。"

"Bioplastics are poised to become the leading viable alternative to oil based plastics, but in order to achieve market traction, significant improvements in material properties are required to take them from niche deployments to wide-scale adoption.Floreon provide high performance bioplastics that don't cost the Earth. The aim of this project is to further enhance the performance of an existing bioplastic compound, increasing its reusability and recyclability which will open up new and demanding applications such as stadium/festival cups and cutlery.Producing these products from a sustainable sourced bioplastic will reduce oil-based plastic usage offering a viable alternative to oil dependance. The base material of Floreon's bioplastic is completely renewable and has a far lower carbon footprint to produce (70% lower than polystyrene) so the resulting products are better for the environment both before and after use."
