Resumo:

“Biobased materials offer attractive solutions in response to the crucial need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also to facilitate recycling and reduce the production of petro-based plastics. Produced in plants through photosynthesis, these materials are capable of storing atmospheric CO2 fixed by plants. This includes polymers and plant fibers, which have a unique combination of properties. The ways in which these building bricks can be used and processed to meet the needs is vast, and this is an area in which R&D is very active and crucial. On the other hand, the massive use of these materials at the industrial level raises several issues: variability of properties, availability of the resource in space and time, the need to use local resources, and therefore necessarily diversified resources.”
