Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Many bio-based PVC plasticizers, such as vegetable oil-based plasticizers, cardanol-based plasticizers, lactic acid-based plasticizers, waste cooking oil-based plasticizers, polyester plasticizers, hyperbranched plasticizers and so on, have been extensively studied.
Bio-Based Plasticizers Stretch Production Capability
Biovero is the end-result in a full-scale, end-to-end production capability that better serves its industrial customers with nature-derived alternatives to traditional petroleum-based additives. These specialty oils, or epoxides, are key components for Cargill’s existing portfolio of bio-based plasticizers and polyols.

Developments of biobased plasticizers for compostable
The development and utilization of biobased plasticizers derived from epoxidized soybean oil, castor oil, cardanol, citrate, and isosorbide have been broadly investigated. The synthesis of biobased plasticizers derived from renewable feedstocks and their impact on packaging material performance have been emphasized.
- Can bio-based plastic be recycled in South Africa?
- South Africa has a mature, well-established mechanical recycling industry that employs tens of thousands of people in the collection, transport and processing of recyclable plastics. This industry would be damaged if bio-based plastic were used in large quantities in South Africa and found their way into the recycling waste-stream.
- Can oxo-biodegradable plastic be made in South Africa?
- Oxo-biodegradable plastic can be made at little or no extra cost by South Africa's existing plastic factories, with no loss of jobs. This technology is currently the only way to protect the environment from plastic which escapes as litter and would otherwise lie or float around for decades.
- Are biodegradable plastic products legal in South Africa?
- At present, South Africa has no legislation and standards to regulate biodegradable plastic products or verify the scientific claims, but there no need for a South African standard. ASTM D6954 is not specific to conditions in any particular country, and it can and should be adopted in its entirety in South Africa.
- Why are plastic products important in South Africa?
- Plastic products are immensely useful to the people of South Africa, and especially to the poorest, for many thousands of whom the plastics industry also provides employment. Plastic products are the best way to protect food and water from contamination and to reduce food-waste and food-borne disease.
- Are plastic products safe in South Africa?
- Plastic products are the best way to protect food and water from contamination and to reduce food-waste and food-borne disease. However, South Africa has high levels of visible litter in the open environment, much of which is lightweight packaging that is not economically viable to collect.
