Another issue I've heard about bioplastics is that there is not enough biogenic carbon on the planet to completely replace the amount of conventional plastic we produce every year. Have you heard anything like this, or is it not of concern to you?
Hi Ashwin, thanks for your question! According to Alex Blum, the planet produces over a trillion tons of cellulose every year, without human intervention. Also, it's likely not possible to replace all plastics, which is okay! Some plastic is necessary.
