Bio-based refers to products that are entirely or partially processed from biomass. In the field of bioplastics, biomass is used as raw materials, such as sugarcane and corn, to replace fossil energy sources like petroleum and minerals.
Bio-based materials are not only the core supporting tools for the global achievement of carbon neutrality goals, but also green solutions that meet contemporary consumers' dual pursuits of healthy living and sustainable development.
Compared with the bio-based extracted from sugarcane, the bio-based extracted from kitchen waste - waste oil has significant advantages. It can not only turn kitchen waste into treasure, prevent the backflow of gutter oil and reduce environmental pollution; Moreover, it does not occupy cultivated land and there is no issue of competition for food.
Bio-based materials are derived from biomass resources, and biomass achieves the carbon cycle through photosynthesis. For instance, during the growth stage of plants, they absorb CO₂, forming a "carbon closed loop" throughout the product life cycle and reducing net carbon emissions.
In the bio-based industrial chain, raw material costs account for a high proportion, but large-scale production and technological innovation are reducing costs. However, due to the scarcity of petroleum-based materials, the extraction cost has risen.
Bio-based products have a low carbon footprint and can avoid carbon tax expenditures. For instance, the carbon footprint of bio-based HDPE is -2.10 kg CO₂e/kg (a negative value indicates carbon absorption), while that of petroleum-based HDPE is 1.94 kg CO₂e/kg, with a reduction of 4.04 kg CO₂e/kg.
Bio-based materials can prevent microplastics from polluting water sources, soil, etc. The production of petroleum-based materials releases pollutants, threatening ecosystems and public health.
It can replace the existing petroleum-based materials and has the same excellent processing adaptability as the existing petroleum-based materials
The product complies with standards such as EU EU10-2011, REACH, EN71-3, RoHS, and US FDA. It is free of BPA and PVC.
The ISCC bio-based certification system ensures accurate and reliable data by directly detecting the percentage of bio-based carbon in the final product.
Bio-based products are strongly associated with "environmental friendliness" and "health", and consumers have a higher acceptance of products with traceability certification labels.
