Bio-based resins are derived from renewable biological sources such as corn starch, sugarcane, or vegetable oils.
Reduces dependency on fossil fuels.
Lowers carbon footprint.
​
Applications:
bags, food packaging, automotive parts, and consumer goods.
Standards for Certification:
EN 16640: Specifies the determination of the bio-based carbon content of products using the radiocarbon analysis method.
ASTM D6866: Standard test methods for determining the biobased content of solid, liquid, and gaseous samples using radiocarbon analysis.
ISO 16620-2: Specifies the methods for determining the bio-based content in plastics.
Advantages:
1. Reduced Carbon Footprint: Biobased polymers are derived from renewable resources such as plants, which absorb CO2 during growth, helping to offset the carbon emissions involved in production.
​
2.Renewable Resources: Unlike traditional plastics made from petroleum, biobased polymers are made from renewable resources like corn, sugarcane, and other plant-based materials, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
​
3.Energy Efficient: The production of biobased polymers often requires less energy compared to traditional petroleum-based plastics, resulting in lower environmental impact.
​
4.Reduced Dependence on Oil: By using agricultural by-products or dedicated crops, biobased polymers reduce dependence on petroleum, a finite resource.
​
5.Supports Circular Economy: Biobased polymers can be integrated into circular economy practices as they are derived from materials that can be regrown, reused, and eventually returned to the biosphere.
​
6.Positive Public Perception: Consumers often associate biobased products with sustainability, leading to enhanced brand value and market opportunities for businesses adopting these technologies.

“Bio-based resins provide an eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastics, supporting a circular economy and reducing environmental impact.”
