Some definitions (IUPAC):
 Biomacromolecules : Macromolecules, which are elaborated from
living organisms (proteins, polysaccharides, bacterial polymers …)
[Caracteristics]
 Biopolymers : substances based on biomacromolecules
[Applications]
Nota: PLA is not a biopolymer!
11
Another definitions:
 BIOPLASTICS : “Industrial” term used to qualify biobased and/or
biodegradable (environment) polymers.
(e.g., PLA, PA11, PCL …)

Biobased polymers
 Biobased polymers for Long term
applications (Durable) e.g.,
Automotive, Building …
 Biobased and biodegradable polymers
for Short term applications e.g.,
Packaging, Agriculture, Hygiene …

Biobased polymers
Sources of agricultural feedstock:
– Bacterial Polyesters: PolyHydroxyAlkanoates (PHA), …
– Cellulose: Crop and forestry fibres (Composites with “petroplastics”) -> Bioethanol
– Hemicellulose
– Lignin and Tanins
– Starch: from corn, wheat, potatoes, pea …-> Bioethanol
– Proteins: Gluten, zein, Corn, elastin, collagen, soybean
– Vegetable Oils

Biobased and Durable Polymers
Wide Variety of Functional Polyurethanes
By combining green polyols with di-isocyanates, we can produce a wide
variety of functional polyurethanes (Foam …) at a competitive cost
(e.g., Ford, Biobased Insulation, BioFoam, Dow, Cargill, Merquinsa …)

Biobased and Biodegradable Polymers
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are a family of intracellular
biopolymers synthesized by many bacteria as intracellular carbon and
energy storage granules. PHAs are mainly produced from renewable
resources by fermentation.
A wide variety of prokaryotic organisms accumulate PHA from 30 to
80% of their cellular dry weight.
Only some bacterial strains show satisfactory levels of productivity:
• Cupriavidus necator
(former Ralstonia eutropha)
• Alcaligenes lactus
• Azotobacter vinelandii
• some methylotrophs
• Pseudomonas oleovorans
• Recombinant Escherichia coli
+ Mixed cultures

Biobased and Biodegradable Polymers
PLA: The Last Trends
• PLA = Polymers for durable applications (No
biodegradation)
• New PLA based blends
(e.g., PLA/Plexiglass = Arkema or PLA/PC = Ingeo)
• PLA as a polyol (TPU, PU …)
• PLA with high value (grafted polymers)
___________________________________
• More and more biomedical applications (biocompatibility;
biodegradable in contact with living tissue)

Biobased polymers
The future ?
– GMO (e.g., Starch)
– ↓ Some fossil resources with  price of some
fractions (???$)
– Evolution of the « society » (« Grenelle de
l’environnement », sustainability ? )
– Evolution of the governmental policy Eco-tax ?
Europe?
