Biobased

Did you know biobased products are wholly or partly derived from biomass, such as plants, trees or animals. However, the biomass can have undergone physical, chemical or biological treatment. Therefore bio-based does not equal biodegradable.

Updated

May 5, 2024

Biobased Products Overview

Biobased products are derived wholly or partly from biomass, including materials like plants, trees, or animals. These resources serve as the raw ingredients for a variety of consumer and industrial products.

Processing of Biomass

The biomass used in biobased products may undergo various forms of processing, such as physical, chemical, or biological treatments, to alter or enhance its properties for specific applications. This processing helps tailor the biomass to better suit the needs of different products and uses.

Environmental Considerations

While biobased products reduce reliance on non-renewable resources, such as petroleum, it's important to note that being biobased does not automatically make a product biodegradable. The biodegradability of a product depends on its chemical structure, not just its origin from biological sources.

Misconceptions and Clarifications

The distinction between biobased and biodegradable is crucial for understanding environmental impacts. While biobased products offer a sustainable alternative by utilizing renewable resources, their end-of-life options, like biodegradability or compostability, can vary significantly depending on their specific makeup.

Conclusion

Recognizing and promoting biobased products is essential for moving towards more sustainable consumption and production patterns, but it's equally important to be aware of their limitations in terms of disposal and environmental degradation.
