In the recent years, there is a clear trend towards the production of biodegradable bioplastics due to the advantages they offer over fossil-based polymers. Generally, in the industry, these polymers are produced from renewable biomass as corn or soy. However, with the aim of not competing with feedstocks destined for human or animal consumption, other alternative sources for their production are being explored. In this context, industrial waste with high organic content (starch, cellulose, volatile fatty acids, etc.) is starting to be used. The use of this waste will reduce market price of bioplastic making them more competitive and will contribute to the principles of the circular economy, generating valuable products that can be incorporated into the industry itself. This webinar will explore the different methods currently available for the production of bioplastics through waste valorization.
