As plastic pollution has emerged as a significant societal concern, numerous international organizations, including governments, unions, industries, research centers, certification and standardization bodies, and others, are actively engaged in developing and adopting new materials, such as biodegradable and compostable polymers.
At the national level, legislation is being enacted to establish dedicated composting systems, with the objective of reducing the use of conventional plastics in single-use products and non-recyclable plastics. These efforts are manifested through standards and labels affixed to products, serving as evidence of their compliance.

Biodegradable bio-based plastics are emerging as a complementary solution to recycling in the fight against pollution. However, in a period where land and water are also becoming critical concerns on a global scale, what impact will the development of biosourced plastics production have on our farmland?

100% biosourced and biodegradable, PLA is one of the first renewable plastics capable of competing with conventional plastics in terms of both performance and environmental impact! Emitting three times less CO2 and already available on the market, PLA could well contribute to reconciling plastics with the planet. Find out everything you need to know about this bioplastic!

If the consumption and production of plastics have surged at an unprecedented pace, how long have we been using plastics ?

It takes 1 second to make a plastic bag that is used for 20 minutes on average before being thrown away. It then takes 1,000 years for the bag to decompose if it’s discarded in the environment. Because time is running out for our planet, here are 4 great solutions to fight plastic pollution now!

Industrial composting is a natural process for revalorizing our organic wastes in LARGE quantities! How does industrial composting work? What types of waste can be found there? What happens to the final compost? Here’s everything you need to know!

For more than 20 years, biodegradable plastics have been used in consumer goods such as bags, packaging, and everyday products, representing a total of nearly 1 million tonnes per year worldwide. However, the concept of end-of-life biodegradation for these products is often confused or misused. What does this word actually mean? Here’s everything you need to know!

What if plastic helped contribute to sustainable development?
Here are three concrete proofs that it can!
