    Q. Does using crops in bioplastics impact land that could be used to feed people?

    If 50% of the globes plastic production were to be switched to crop-based bioplastics, the industry would only require 3% of the world’s cultivated land. Bioplastics are typically made from materials not suitable for human consumption. Producers do not use food grade crops during the manufacture of bioplastics, therefore crops can be grown on outlying agricultural land.

    Q. Is there a difference between biodegradable vs compostable materials?

    Biodegradable materials break down with the help of micro-organisms. Biodegradable plastics have no identified time limit set on how quickly they break down and these products may leave toxic residue behind.

    Compostable materials are capable of breaking down into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass at the same speed as cellulose. Compostable bioplastics must become indistinguishable in the compost and must not leave any toxic material behind.
