Mazda to develop bio-based polypropylene |
Japanese automaker Mazda has signed a collaborative research agreement
with Hiroshima University to develop a range of polypropylene
bioplastics for automotive use from non-food derived cellulosic biomass.
According to Mazda, the project will use so-called "second generation"
bioplastics manufacturing technology – which makes use of non-edible
high cellulose content vegetable matter such as plant stalks or wood
shavings – to create a range of bioplastics that will not risk
competition with food production.
