Sustainable plastics and the center for bioplastics and biocomposites

3rd International Conference and Exhibition on Biopolymers & Bioplastics

David Grewell

Iowa State University, USA

Keynote: J Bioremed Biodeg

DOI: 10.4172/2155-6199.C1.001

Abstract
In this presentation, we review the basic concepts and history of bioplastics and biocomposites. We then provide an overview of the current state of the field. While there have been many early developments in bioplastics and examples of biocomposites in the last 60 years, today this technology has gained increased interest with many applications, and there are new products and materials under development and commercialization. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has recently funded an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) focused on bioplastics. Designated as the Center for Bioplastics and Biocomposites (CB2), this center is led by Iowa State University and Washington State University. The thrust of this new NSF center will be reviewed along with the center�s benefits to the bioplastics and biocomposites industry.
