- Comment "There is widespread confusion among consumers about these different types of plastics. The umbrella term “bioplastics” is often used to describe very different materials, and the terms “biobased”, “biodegradable” and “compostable” may be misleading.The term “bioplastics” should ideally be avoided as it is often used to refer to both bio-based and biodegradable plastic. It is preferable to use ""bio-based plastic"" if it is a plastic derived from biomass or ""biodegradable plastic"" if it biodegrades. Both categories overlap but there are also bio-based plastics that are not biodegradable as well as biodegradable plastics that are not bio-based.Biobased plastics are fully or partially made from biological resources, rather than fossil raw materials. They are not necessarily biodegradable or compostable. It is important to examine the full life cycle of biobased plastics to ensure that they are beneficial to the environment beyond the reduction in use of fossil resources. This includes changes in land use. 'Biodegradable plastics' biodegrade in certain conditions at their end of life. Compostable plastics – a subset of biodegradable plastics – typically decompose in industrial composting facilities, and first need to be collected. Biodegradable and compostable plastics may be made from biological resources or fossil raw materials. These plastics should be used when it is not possible to reduce, reuse or recycle, in line with the circular economy and waste hierarchy principles."
