Plastics have become a central part of our lives, from their use in agriculture to the convenience they provide in single-use packaging. However, the mismanagement of plastic can result in significant environmental and economic impacts. The CSIR has built a considerable capability to help address the plastic issue in South Africa, from technology and laboratory testing, unlocking high-value end-use markets through innovation, the application of modeling capabilities to inform product choice, to evidence-based strategy development. We explore the role of bioplastics in addressing the plastic issue in South Africa.
