Ludwigshafen (ots)

The new edition of BASF's innovation podcast "Chemistry of 
Innovations" talks about biodegradable and biobased plastics.
In general, there are two special characteristics that define 
bioplastics: either they consist of renewable resources, or they can 
be harvested directly from nature. Some bioplastics even fulfill both
requirements. Bioplastics are suitable for numerous applications: for
example mulch film for agriculture or bags which can be used to hold 
your household biowaste after shopping. On compost heaps bioplastics 
completely decompose within a few weeks without leaving any residues 
behind.
