Abstract
To address recent environmental pollution, bio plastics such as biodegradable, oxo-biodegradable, and bio-based plastics have attracted much attention in a variety of industrial fields. The critical disadvantages of the weak mechanical strength and expensive product cost were gradually solved by extensive researches. As an alternative for petroleum-based plastics, the bio plastics have been applied to various items. To popularize the bio plastics, certification marks and technical standardization have been developed in the world. This article provide an over view on the recent trend on the commercialization and national certification marks.
