Roadmap for Bioplastics Introduction

Plastics have brought tremendous convenience and benefits to our lives because of their high functionality. However, they are related to resource and waste problems, marine plastic litter issues, and climate change, and have become an urgent international issue. In response to this situation, Japan has formulated the Resource Circulation Strategy for Plastics (May 2019).

The Resource Circulation Strategy for Plastics sets forth the "3Rs + Renewable" as a basic principle. Based on the premise that sustainability will be assured throughout their lifecycle, the strategy aims to introduce the maximum amount of bio-based plastics (approximately 2 million tons) by 2030.

Toward realizing the strategy, Japan has formulated "Roadmap for Bioplastics Introduction" to promote substitution of current fossil-based plastics to sustainable bioplastics.
