Plastic from http://www.bioplast.com.tr is NOT a Bioplastic, it is NOT certified as biodegradable OR compostable by any of the authorities(OK Compost, BPI, DIN CERTCO) that issue the specifications you claim, in fact the ONLY people that have ‘tested’ your products are the company themselves. If in doubt ASK them for their certifications from OK Compost, BPI, and DIN CERTCO, as I can tell you now that they do NOT have any!

This ‘BioPlast’ is very misleading as it is made from FOSSIL FUEL based plastic, producing millions of tonnes of greenhouse gasses worldwide in manufacturing, in fact DOUBLE it’s own weight in greenhouse gasses is produced in manufacture, and when you KNOW that 40,000,000 TONNES of just this type of plastic are produced EVERY YEAR, they are adding AT LEAST 80,000,000 TONNES of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere EVERY YEAR!

Greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere are THE cause of climate change that is scientifically linked to increasing crop failures.

Plastics are proven to attract high levels of poisonous chemicals, and this BioPlast will break down into small particles that after collecting poisonous chemicals, could be taken up by the food chain and poison the eco-system, right up to us.

The world needs to invest $45 trillion in energy in coming decades, build some 1,400 nuclear power plants and vastly expand wind power in order to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, according to an energy study released Friday, and yet SOME companies are still happy to pollute with these CO2 generating plastics.

The answer is NOT Mr BioPLast and his enzymes !!

The answer is plant based plastics

Plant based plastics ARE biodegradable and compostable(many compostable at home) and certified as such.

Plant based plastics REDUCE greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as the plants grow. Growing more plants for plastic would REDUCE greenhouse gases and help reverse climate change AND crop failures.

One study shows that “every pound of soy-based polymers produced instead of petroleum-based removes 2.1 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere”.

Another study shows that in manufacture, plant based plastics use 30% less energy and create just 25% of the greenhouse gases that fossil fuel plastics do. Also starch based plastics consume 2190 kg of GHG per tonne of plastic whilst the plants are growing.
