Natureworks Finds Bioplastic Can be Sorted Out of Recycling Streams |
One of the barriers to widespread adoption of bioplastic in food and
drink packaging is that there is no national, or even many regional,
systems for collection and disposing of bioplastic in compost
facilities.
Natureworks,
maker of polylactic acid-based Ingeo bioplastic, has found, though,
that bioplastic can be sorted out of recycling streams effectively. One
concern with consumers disposing of bioplastic in recycling bins is
that the bioplastic could contaminate the materials it's mixed with.
