Reduced CO2 emissions
It takes only 0.8 metric tons of CO2 to create bio-plastics which is 3.2 metric tons less than normal plastics.
· Cheaper alternative
Bioplastics are cheaper than normal plastics especially with the soaring oil prices.
· Waste
Bioplastics don’t generate as much toxic run-off
· Reduced carbon footprint
Oil based plastics need fossil fuels and bio-plastics don’t
· Multiple end-of-life points
Valuable raw material can be reclaimed and recycled into other products.

Disadvantages:
· Food crisis/ Land required for renewable resources
People are starving because they don’t have enough money for food. So why then make plastic out of food. There is already one million tonnes of bio-plastic being produced annually and because, to make bio-plastics, you need renewable food stock it has to rely on people with enough land to grow that food stock. If bioplastics becomes the multi billion dollar industry it is expected to that’s going to take a lot of land to make the food stock that it needs to keep up production.
· Compostibility
In Taiwan they have industrial composters which are required to compost bioplastics but in Australia we do not have such a device
which means all those bio-plastic containers that the food comes in at the super market just ends up in landfill anyway.
