HGCA reveals UK bioplastics opportunities

Simeon Goldstein, packagingnews.co.uk, 11 May 2009
Cereals body HGCA has published a study into the opportunities for UK farmers to grow cereals and oil seeds for use in bioplastics. HGCA industrial uses manager Richard Saffod said an increasingly carbon conscious world meant there was “tremendous potential” for bioplastics to increase from its current low level of 0.1% of total plastics production.

“In the future, we expect there to be opportunities for UK farmers to provide sustainably-produced, low carbon feedstocks for bioplastics manufacture within the UK,” he said.

The report, and accompanying leaflet, examines a number of areas including key drivers and barriers to use, end-of-life disposal and life-cycle analysis and the potential manufacture in the UK.

“The report is designed to have a wide audience ranging from growers, bioplastic resin and packaging manufacturers through to retailers,” said Safford.
