Investing in Climate Mitigation : Case Studies on Bio-Polymers & Advanced Bio-Fuels from Bio-Waste & non Food Agri Rproduce)

Bio-Polymers – Role in Climate Mitigation & Adaptation

The Plastics Problem is all around us!

The term "bioplastics" refers to biodegradable plastics and/or plastics derived from renewable resources such as corn, sugarcane sugar beets etc. Interest in bio-materials has increased significantly due to concerns related to global climate change.

The Solution: Bio-plastics

The Case for Bioplastics

Bio-based plastics can be produced from a wide range of plant-based raw materials, viz # Natural polymers, i. e. macromolecules that occur naturally in plants # Smaller molecules, such as sugar, disaccharides and fatty acids. All of these renewable resources can be obtained, modified and processed into bio-based plastics.

• Pros:

– Reduces or eliminates GHG in production – Requires less or no petrochemicals – Plants decreases CO2 in the atmosphere – Biodegradable - byproducts water, CO2, and organic materials – Can be utilized as fuel

Technology is Commercialized - Global Players

Increasing demand for bio-based, durable products in electronics and automotive applications. Durables are expected to account for almost 40 % of bioplastics. (European Bioplastics)

• India is the world’s second largest

grower/producer of sugarcane.

• India can cultivate (less water

intensive) tropical sugar beets.

• Excess sugar consumption is cause of
• besity & diabetes in India.
• Sugar from corn starch/ cane & beet

is feedstock for bio-plastics industry.

• With sentiments rising against plastics,

time is right for bio-plastics industry.
