Bioplastics are a relatively new field within the South African plastics industry. As a result, landfills overflow with plastic bags and products from the household waste removal process. The CSIR’s bioplastic is made from
Plastics|SA. The workshop, which focussed on ^Bioplastic opportunities for South Africa _, was aimed at assessing whether South Africa can create a local bio-based plastic industry (within a

Bio-based plastics are made from renewable resources like starch, corn, and sugar cane. When these renewable sources are grown, the plants naturally absorb carbon dioxide. This is in stark contrast to producing plastic from fossil

- Are biodegradable and compostable plastics regulated in South Africa?
- There is currently no mandatory legislation specific to the material properties of biodegradable and compostable plastics. A South African National Standard (SANS) for Compostable Materials based on ISO 17088 is currently open for public comment.
- What are bio-based and biodegradable plastics?
- Bio-based and biodegradable plastics are increasingly being utilised in (food) packaging, (food service) ware, (retail) bags, fibres/nonwovens, and agricultural applications . Bio-based drop-in plastics, such as bio-PE and bio-PET, can be utilised in the same applications as fossil-based polymers.
- What is the South African initiative to end plastic waste?
- The South African Initiative to End Plastic Waste, through the Biodegradable and Compostable Packaging Working Group, initiated a process to evaluate the landscape with respect to the integration of biodegradable and compostable packaging in South Africa.
- How bad is plastic waste in South Africa?
- South Africa is listed among the top 15 countries in the global mismanagement of plastic waste and continuation of this practice is expected to increase the overall plastic waste in the country by 2% in 2025.
- Are bio-based polymers acceptable in South Africa?
- Bio-based, non-biodegradable polymers, such as bio-PET and bio-HDPE, are essentially identical to the petrochemical-based materials. Therefore, they are deemed acceptable within the current collection and recycling landscape in South Africa. The effectiveness of prodegradant additives (oxo and bio) remains a matter of contention.
- Is biodegradable plastic a viable alternative to petrochemical plastics?
- Biodegradable plastic can be seen as one of the alternatives to accomplish this sustainable growth of the plastic industry and offer a solid alternative to petrochemical plastics in the near future .
