Nowadays, European countries have established restrictive rules for everyday plastic products, increasing the biodegradable bioplastic market size. This new type of plastic closely follows the aforementioned guidelines, with a very low environmental impact; the negative aspect of this market share is that global biodegradable plastics are affected by high cost of production, lowering the investors' interest for future investments. On the other side, the wide range of fields of application (from packaging to automotive and transport) with features and quality comparable with the classic plastics makes the bioplastics very attractive and competitive. In this work, formulation and manufacturing of new biopolymers and blends will be discussed.

Abstract
Nowadays, European countries have established restrictive rules for everyday plastic products, increasing the biodegradable bioplastic market size. This new type of plastic closely follows the aforementioned guidelines, with a very low environmental impact; the negative aspect of this market share is that global biodegradable plastics are affected by high cost of production, lowering the investors' interest for future investments. On the other side, the wide range of fields of application (from packaging to automotive and transport) with features and quality comparable with the classic plastics makes the bioplastics very attractive and competitive. In this work, formulation and manufacturing of new biopolymers and blends will be discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
