Big problems often translate into big business opportunities
Ventures worldwide are using advanced, renewable materials to gain competitive edge.
For suppliers and retailers, biomaterials provide a way to reduce industrial waste & avoid regulatory headaches.

Definition: Bioplastics
“Bioplastics” are polymers that can be processed by established technologies and are either
1. Biobased – from renewable raw materials(recently fixed vs. fossil carbon)
or …
2. Biodegradable per accepted industry standards – EN 13432 or ASTM D6400 – usually this means composted
Design Goal: Durability, not Immortality

Bioplastics are not a new idea
Why didn’t they take off then?
What’s driving their adoption now?
Who is leading?

Success Keys in BioRenewables
All ag waste / byproducts / biomass = opportunity
Radical innovation … get disruptive!
Use “biorefinery” approach: multiple revenue streams

Industrial Biorefining
• Integrated biomass conversion processes and equipment
• Spectrum of co-products… – Bioenergy & fuels, – Value-added chemicals/biomaterials– Food, feed, nutraceuticals, etc.
• Leverages components and intermediates to maximize value
Variables:• Location (regional
feedstock)• Capital equipment• Flexibility• Scale
