Bioplastics almost ready for mass market
The need for alternatives to traditional petroleum-based plastics couldn’t be more clear. In the past decade, oil prices have more than doubled, and land fills are rapidly running out of space to dispose of used bottles. In an effort to remain competitive, many companies have begun to develop what are called “bioplastics,” which are made from either microbial products or plant material.
One of the big leaders in this effort is the German corporation BASF, which has manufactured plastic bottles for the European market for decades. It expects that the global bioplastics market will be worth about $1 billion within the next two years, as fuel and disposal costs rise.
American corporations such as Archer Daniels Midland, Dow Chemical and DuPont are also interested in bioplastics. However, current market demand favoring traditional plastic bottles means that their research is going forward slowly, to make sure the bottles are ready when consumer demands change.
It is hoped that through education and pricing these companies can slowly phase out plastic bottles in favor of bioplastics once the latter becomes more affordable. In the meantime, there is an emphasis on recycling plastic bottles into new items, such as turning old milk jugs into railroad ties.

Introduction
At present,the demand for bio-degradable materials is huge both in China and in the world. The quantity needed at home in the packing industry and catering industry alone totals more than 3million tons.The international market demands even more, with a 30-50% year-on-year increase.,the domestic demand in 2010 is expected to reach 13.437million with a total market value of over 150 billion, while that of the world will be about 20million ton. Recent years, the bio-degradable industry has witnessed a rapid development. National policies are made to escalate the industry to a high-end one, which would hopefully be the key areas in bio-degradable and abosorbable material industry by 2015.
The 2009 Shenzhen China International Bio-plastic Exhibition, is the most time-honored and professional of its kind in China. It serves as a platform for trade and technology exchanges for business people from all over the world. In 2009, enterpreneurs from about 20 countries and areas paticipated in this fair, many of which were from the U.S.A., the U.K., Germany, Italy, Tailand, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan and Hongkong. During the exhibition, world-renowned coropetations like as BSF and INNOR had discussions on the application and future of biodegradable materials.
To meet the demands of many bio-degradable enterprises, we will hold the Second Shenzhen International Bio-plastic Exhibition will be held in Great China Exchange Plaza from 16th the 17th, November 2010. We will invite business people in plastic manufactoring ,catering, packaging, machine building, and top officials form star-rate hotels.Besides, officials from local government departments for economic development and International Investment Organization will also be invited to the fair. The fair is expected to be of high-level and distictive feature with an inflence on the world bio-degradable industry.

[...] Plastic in all its many forms is a reality of modern life. Unfortunately, plastic production has needed petroleum, which evokes images of polluting refineries and a dwindling supply of fossil fuels to feed those refineries. It is highly likely that image is going to drastically change to a far greener image as algae becomes the preferred feedstock for a new generation of bio-based plastic products. [...]
