Floriade Symposium Circular Greenhouse 2022
Module Plastics, Tuesday May 17, 15:25-16:35
Plastic products in greenhouse cultivation support high production efficiency and ensure (food) quality. But how can we move to a more circular use of plastics? In this module we dive into various ways of reducing, reusing, recycling or substituting plastics. In some cases plastics can be avoided or replaced by existing materials like metal, wood or paper. Then there is an increasing number of biobased plastics. Some biobased plastic streams are non-biodegradable but potentially clean enough to be collected after use for recycling.
Another class of biobased plastics relevant for greenhouse materials can be biodegraded in professional composting plants. Finally a class of biodegradable plastics is offered which will biodegrade under field circumstances which make them suitable for many outdoor applications but also for transplants.
