Israel Goes Bioplastics
To make matters worse, most municipalities in Israel do not offer regular recycling services. Some Israeli companies, however, are using technology to try and counteract Israel’s bad plastic habit. Each of the following eight companies presents a different approach to solving the country’s, and the world’s, reliance on disposable plastics.
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.

Cargill launches Biovero bio-based plasticizer - bioplastics
Cargill is adding to its bioindustrial solutions portfolio with Biovero bio-based plasticizer, which is used for a wide variety of product manufacturing applications such as flooring, clothing, wires, cables and plastic films and sheets for its industrial customers throughout North America, with plans to expand the product globally. “As
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
- What are natural based plasticizers?
- Nowadays, there is increasing interest in the use of natural-based plasticizers that are characterized by low toxicity and low migration. This group includes epoxidized triglyceride vegetable oils from soybean oil, linseed oil, castor-oil, sunflower oil, and fatty acid esters (FAEs) .
- Can biopolymers replace petroleum-based plastics with biodegradable materials?
- In recent years, much attention has been focused on research to replace petroleum-based commodity plastics, in a cost-effective manner, with biodegradable materials offering competitive mechanical properties. Biopolymers have been considered as the most promising materials for this purpose.
- What are biodegradable plasticizers?
- Biodegradable plasticizers such as soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) were added to poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) films, enhancing their thermal and mechanical properties. TEC or DBP presented better plasticizing effects than SO and ESO for PHBV .
- Can UBQ replace plastic?
- UBQ has patented a process to convert household trash, organic, paper and plastic — including banana peels, dirty diapers, yogurt containers and cardboard — into a bio-based thermoplastic, or a plastic substitute, that can replace oil-based plastic, wood and concrete in the manufacture of everyday products.
- Can plasticizers be used to make plastic products?
- The use of plasticizers for plastic products manufacture is not a new practice. Its application to modify polymer characteristics began in the 1800s. In these early days, manufacturers of celluloid or celluloid lacquers used natural camphor and castor oil for plasticization purposes, but these were unsatisfactory for many end uses.
