Bioplastics News Stream
One of the most dynamic categories in the plastics is for bioplastics, aka biopolymers and related bio-based materials made from renewable sources.
The articles PlasticsToday publishes related to this high-interest topic represent only the tip of a large and growing iceberg of what’s happening. That’s the idea behind this new stream of Tweets drawn from Twitter dedicated to bioplastic news and innovations in this accelerating market. Check below for the latest curated news that will be updated regularly.
