With the improvement of people's living standards and awareness of environmental protection, ecological sustainable development is increasingly valued. The French parliament recently passed laws on energy transition and green growth. In addition to reducing the share of nuclear power in France's energy mix, the new law also includes legislative proposals related to renewable energy and plastic packaging.

For example, renewable energy will grow by 40% by 2030 and carbon dioxide will be cut by 40% by 2030. Lightweight packaging bags for fruits and vegetables will be made from biomaterials starting January 1, 2017. In addition, the same standards will be applied at the same time to the plastic packaging used for commercial mail.

As one of the world within the scope of the most representative biological plastic industry trade group, the European bioplastics association for the French first of a series of recent give priority to in order to support the bio-based plastic packaging of the new law. "We fully support this clear commitment to biomaterials and biodegradable plastics," said President FranoisdeBie.

He added: "France has taken the first step towards a responsible approach to the consumption of plastic materials and regards waste materials as a valuable resource." In the next few years, bioplastics will make great contributions to environmental protection and economic growth.

Enterprise bullish on French bio-based plastics industry through the law to the French bio-based plastics market bring huge development opportunities, in fact not only France, terry gou, foxconn group has certain biological plastic industry may be in China in the history of the best opportunities for development.

By plant straw and starch biodegradable plastics are made of plastic material, such as different three major synthetic plastics, waste under the action of biological environment, can be resolved on its own, under the action of biological environment, can be resolved on their own, no matter for people or the environment harmless, belong to the green packaging.

As a pioneer in biodegradation technology in the plastics industry, Plantic technology co., ltd. of Australia is well known at home and abroad. A series of biodegradable plastic wrappers, 90 per cent cornstarch, will disappear from sight in a matter of seconds after being placed in water. It can be in direct contact with greasy food or even eaten directly.

Bio-based plastic packaging can effectively control the biological degradation time and cycle, the biological plastic packaging materials into full play functions at the same time, to reduce and eliminate plastic packaging materials on the ecological environment pollution and influence. Some plastic packaging materials can be used to reduce the production of packaging waste and improve the safety and environmental protection of plastic packaging.

China's xinjiang production and construction corps and golden hair technology have signed a three-year agreement to promote the complete biodegradable plastic film. In 2014, 140,000 mu of farmland in 14 divisions of the corps used complete biodegradable plastic film. In 2016, 6 million mu of farmland will use complete biodegradable plastic film. Completely biodegradable plastic film is in order to adapt to the needs of society for environmental protection and produce a new type of membrane, the main raw material for biodegradable masterbatch masterbatch and plastic particles mixed into production.

Asia will be bio-based plastics market domination of Europe is the world's largest bio-based plastic consumer market, in 2013 the European bio-based plastic accounted for more than half the global total, according to the survey, compared with the traditional plastic, European consumers more underlying purpose to choice the nations new biological base plastic products. As a result, the region is unlikely to continue to lead the list of bio-based plastic consumers.

With the introduction of the national energy conservation and environmental protection policy, bioplastics are gradually strengthening in the market. It is estimated that the development of bio-based bioplastics PET is the most prominent. By 2020, 5 million tons of bioplastics based PET will be produced from sugarcane ethanol. Because Asia and South America are rich in natural resources, funding for bioplastics is likely to reach both continents. South America will have 18% of the world's bioplastic production capacity by 2020, more than Europe and North America.

Will be applied in automobile and electronic industry's new push bioplastics demand increases, admittedly packaging will continue to dominate the market position, about its share of modified plastics will down from 40% in 2025 from 65% in 2007. By 2025, Asia will be biological plastic market domination, accounts for about 32% of the market, followed by Europe accounted for 31%, the United States accounted for 28%.
