Can Bioplastics Ever Compete? | Our Plastic Predicament: Episode 8 #ThinkBioplastic
มุมมอง 21K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Bioplastics vs. Oil-based plastics, who wins? Apart from being better for the environment, can bioplastics truly match their oil-based counterparts? As the bioplastic industry develops and adoption becomes widespread, the functionality of bioplastics will progress. Prices will drop, meaning that bioplastics could soon become the norm. Watch the final episode of Our Plastic Predicament to find o...
But I Recycle! | Our Plastic Predicament: Episode 7 #ThinkBioplastic
มุมมอง 2.9K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Recycling, the silver bullet to plastic pollution? We're not so sure! Recycling of oil-based plastic is not a closed-loop disposable option, and current rates are very low. Recycling is simply a delay before plastic eventually ends up being incinerated, in landfill, or in our environment. Find out in Episode 7 why recycling is not always the best option. . . . #ThinkBioplastic is an educational...

Unsavoury beginnings | Our Plastic Predicament: Episode 2 #ThinkBioplastic
มุมมอง 2.8K6 ปีที่แล้ว
It's science time! In our second episode, we're taking a close look at plastics. How close? Molecular. Plastic is formed by polymerisation. These long-chain hydrocarbon polymers are what give plastic its properties and are also the key to why plastic doesn’t break down. If you've ever wondered exactly why plastic pollution is such a serious environmental problem, this is the epsiode for you. Oc...

Plastic...from plants? Could this be the solution to our plastic problem? It's time to talk about bioplastics. Plant-based plastics don't use oil which is a non-renewable resource. They also have the ability to biodegrade back into the environment when we're done with them.

    Real reason why we don't see them is because bioplastics are equally devastating to nature. Not all of them are biodegradable and those that are wont simply vanish if you litter forest with them. The share amount of crops needed to replace all plastics to bioplastics would be insane. Growing these crops would result more carbon footprint then it's worth.

    Isn't all plastic made from plants anyway? Whats the difference between using new vs old plants? The newer plants are more radioactive? Petroleum exists because at one point tree grown wood was not biodegradable, so it just sat there, polluting the environment, until it compressed itself under its own weight. Eventually the planet evolved a life form that could digest wood, but not before it had sat there for hundreds of millions of years. People theorize that PET could take 1000s of years to biodegrade, which is really really really quite short compared to what natural wood had already done

  • @RGRG838
    @RGRG838 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi there.. i wanna ask a question.. why does bioplastics needs to be "made" bio-degradable?? Aren't they supposed to be able to biodegrade by nature?? Or is it true that they mostly contain 30-50% polymer? And if so, how is it bio?? We only reduce the use if oil based plastics but it doesn't solve our waste management system.. also... since they are bio... what will happen if they got "magically" stranded under the sea like the normal plastics?? Will they biodegrade aswell?? Will the fish be able to digest them?? And about biodegradable plastics, when will they start becoming "bio"?? Or do they just become microplastics and being blown away by the winds and into our lungs?? Please do help me with these questions... Thank you

    0:58 ㅗㅜㅑ point. It seems eco-friendly to make bio-plastics, not oil. However, bioplastics that need to be decomposed by heat are having difficulty in post-production processing. PHA, which decomposes without heat, looks better in the future than PLA, where raw plastic decomposes only into heat. In the future, PHA materials will become more perfect eco-friendly materials.

    Oil isn't cheap. Factor in the wars and unnecessary economic hitman as well as long term damage to the environment including the landfills bioplastic it's actually cheaper. Long term. Plus, our monetary system is completely made up. Invented. Our idea of good business has to change because business is ALWAYS personal and more informed consumers are a part of it. I like my version of capitalism not the current without Morality it's done too much damage that is unnecessary. "Slow Death by Rubber Duck" is a good book to check out. Few others. Important to understand what you are buying and why? Precious Plastics is also a good project to check out. Cleaning up the current plastic and manufacturing healthier products is much more logical. I especially like the woman who recycles chewing gum into products... Good video...
