On Feb. 26,
2013, the National Development and Reform Commission adjusted some items of the
Guidance Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment (2011 Version). It's
surprising that China will lift the ban on the disposable foam tableware
from May 1, 2013, which may exert an effect on the market of biodegradable
plastics. Generally, the disposable foam tableware refers to the polystyrene
(PS) tableware.
As
concerns over the damage to the environment caused by the traditional foam
plastics, the biodegradable foam plastics can be accepted by market players
more easily.
Packaging may be the main application field of foam material, while the demand from electrical products, food and some other goods with a high shockproof requirement may become stronger. Bio-plus has already designed some cushion packages, tableware and cups using PLA foam material. Building facilities, public equipment, automotive and electrical components with high environmental protection requirements are also potential consumers of PLA foam material and some European automobile producers have already started to make use of PLA foam plastics. Therefore, the new achievement may help Bio-plus win a greater market share.

Luckily, some
enterprises have already made some bold trials on biodegradable agricultural
film, giving examples for those who want to enter the industry.
For
example, the China Tobacco Monopoly Bureau in Kunming, Yunnan Province (Kunming
Tobacco) cooperated with Limagrain Business Consulting Co., Ltd. (Limagrain) to
launch the adaptability research in 2011. In Dec. 2012, Kunming Tobacco said
that the research achieved success. Limagrain is the fourth largest seed company
in the world, and in 1993, it entered the Chinese market and promoted seeds and
biodegradable film. Ecomann Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Ecomann), a leading
producer of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in China, also cooperated with the
government of Jining City to promote the PHA biodegradable agricultural film in
2012.
