12. Renewable resources Renewable resources are “any natural resources that are capable of being regenerated or replaced by ecological processes on a time scale relevant to their use”. 1st generation 2nd generation Corn Stover Bagasse1 Cassava Corn Grains Sugarcane Sugarbeet Ethanol/ Biopolymers Starch Ferment with Yeast Sugar/ Sucrose Cellulose

20. Advantage of Green PE • Carbon Footprint: Reduce CO2 emission through its life cycle http://www.braskem.com.br/

21. Green Ethylene made from sugarcane ethanol are able to absorb CO2 http://www.braskem.com.br/

22. Plastic VS Bioplastic Price Polyethylene and Bio-polyethylene price are not much different. But every biobased plastic (from sugar cane) ton removes 2.5 tons of CO2from the atmosphere. Source: Plastic Technology : Argeni

26. Bioplastic Products in Thailand

27. Examples of Bioplastics Products Heinz Adopts Coca-Cola PlantBottles (30% biobased) "Nucycle", NEC s-bag® GREEN, Electrolux Frito-Lay Unveils ‘Quieter’ SunChips Bags PrittECOmfort Correction Roller, Henkel Marketside Produce Packaging, Walmart Activia in PLA cups Urara Personal Care, Shiseido 100% PET bottle, Pepsi Source: NatureWorks, LLC , 2011.

28. Bioplastics Production Chain ปัจจุบันมีการผลิตวัตถุดิบทั้งอ้อยและมันสำปะหลังที่ส่งออกเป็นวัตถุดิบไปยังต่างประเทศมากกว่า 80% จึงเป็นโอกาสในการสร้างมูลค่าเพิ่มแทนการส่งออกเป็นวัตถุดิบเพียงอย่างเดียว มีผู้ผลิตต่างประเทศผลิตแลคติก(Monomer) สำหรับอาหารและส่งออกทั้งหมด แต่ไม่มีการผลิต Polymer ขณะนี้ต่างประเทศกำลังพิจารณาลงทุน โดยใช้น้ำตาลและแป้ง ปัจจุบันมีการผลิตพลาสติกจากปิโตรเคมี นำมาทำเป็น compound resin เพื่อเป็นวัตถุดิบในการขึ้นรูปเป็นบรรจุภัณฑ์รูปแบบต่างๆ เพื่อใช้งานบรรจุอาหาร หรือสินค้าต่างๆ มีกำลังการผลิต 6 ล้านตัน มีผู้ประกอบการมากกว่า 3000 ราย มูลค่ารวม 250,000 ล้านบาท การใช้พลาสติกปัจจุบันก่อให้เกิดปัญหาสิ่งแวดล้อมและการกำจัดขยะ

29. Bioplastic Investment in Thailand PTT Chemical invests in NatureWorks PTT Chemical announced today that it is collaborating with Cargill to form a 50/50 joint venture by investing $US150 million in NatureWorks LLC, the world's leading bioplastics manufacturer and supplier of its broad family of renewable Ingeo™ biopolymers made from plants to plastics and fibers markets worldwide. • PTT, MCC forms bio-PBS JV PTT Group and Mitsubishi Chemical Corp join hands in establishing the first sugar-based bio-plastic manufacturing plant in Thailand, in their bid to become a green plastic producer and turn Thailand into the "bio-hub" of Asia. PTT MCC Biochem Co Ltd is established as a 50:50 joint venture. The company will start the plant construction in 2012 for commercial operations in late 2014. With estimated investment of Bt 7 billion, the plant will be capable of producing 36,000 tonnes of BSA from sugar and 20,000 tonnes of PBS per annum. http://www.prnewswire.com/
