Developments of biobased plasticizers for compostable
The demand for biobased materials for various end‐uses in the bioplastic industry is substantially growing due to increasing awareness of health and environmental concerns, along with the toxicity of synthetic plasticizers such as phthalates.
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Bioplasticizers are derived mainly from biomass sources including agricultural products, it’s by-products and waste. Regardless of the biomass source, ideal bioplasticizers are expected to be...

Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers) POLYCIZER, MONOCIZER Functional Products Awareness is increasing regarding the environment and the safety of plasticizers and a response is being demanded in raw materials as well.
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Keywords: Plasticizers, bioplasticizers, biomass, citrates, market. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Over the years, plasticizers have played a major role as a dominant additive in the plastic industry [1]. Its wide range of application can be seen in automobiles, packaging, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals and building and construction [2].
- How does plastic recycling work in Thailand?
- Single-use plastic packaging becomes plastic waste in a short period and the EoL stage is managed by the local municipality of each area. In Thailand, the informal sector plays an important role in collecting high-value plastic waste for recycling (e.g., PET water bottles or PP and PE bottles).
- What is Thailand's Roadmap on plastic waste management?
- In terms of practice and policy, Thailand's Roadmap on Plastic Waste Management 2018–2030 has two targets: 1. Reduce and stop the consumption of single-use plastics by replacing them with environmentally friendly products (which can partly be biomaterials as in the proposed scenarios), and 2.
- Is Thailand a good producer of bio-based plastics?
- Thailand is prodigious producer of the feedstock needed for bio-based plastics, most notably cassava and sugarcane. Over 40 million tons of cassava and sugarcane are produced per year,5but less than 1% is currently used for bioplastic synthesis.
- What is the material flow analysis of single-use plastic in Thailand?
- The material flow analysis (MFA) of single-use plastic in Thailand in 2020 was extracted and compiled from a previous study (WWF Thailand, 2020; Plastics Institute of Thailand, 2021) and was used as a baseline for making an inventory of the different types of plastics and biomaterials.
- What percentage of plastic is exported in Thailand?
- Approximately 90 % of plastic production in Thailand is aimed for export and 10 % is for domestic use (Thailand Board of Investment, 2020). Nevertheless, in Thailand, the use of biomaterial packaging is expected to increase substantially because of a new law banning plastic packaging.
- How can Thailand tackle plastic marine debris problem?
- Therefore, the expansion of bioplastic production in Thailand and other Asian countries and the use of some of this biomaterial for plastic substitution, together with adequate plastic waste management based on the circular economy can assist in tackling the plastic marine debris problem around the world.
