tyk: CERP being an issue for JBII...

The company?s product includes Cereplast Compostables resins, which is substitutes for petroleum-based plastics targeting primarily single-use disposables and packaging applications. It also offers Cereplast Hybrid Resins that replace up to 50% of the petroleum content in conventional plastics with bio-based materials, such as industrial starches sourced from plants for use in a range of markets, including automotive, consumer goods, consumer electronics, medical, packaging, and construction. The company?s resins are also used in various conventional converting processes, including injection molding, thermoforming, blow film, blow molding, and extrusion. Its developing product also includes Cereplast Algae Plastics to transform algae into bioplastics.

Making plastic from bio-based resources is certainly commendable. But their primary applications, at least initially, are not in the same area of plastic use that JBII expects find it feedstock.

I wonder if bio-based plastic can be converted to oil. Probably not. Why make plastic if it could?
