바이오플라스틱은 탄소중립적이며 생분해가 가능하다는 점에서 기존 플라스틱의 대체재로 주목받고 있다. 이 연구는 일국 축차동태 연산가능일반균형 모형을 사용하여 석유 기반 플라스틱산업 규제와 바이오플라스틱산업 육성에 따른 경제적 환경적 파급효과를 추정하였다. 분석결과, 플라스틱산업 규제 시 온실가스 감축과 폐기물 감소 효과가 나타나 긍정적인 환경적 파급효과가 발생한 반면, GDP는 감소하여 경제적으로는 부정적인 파급효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 플라스틱산업 규제와 바이오플라스틱산업 육성이 동시에 이루어지는 경우, 플라스틱 산업 규제만 시행하는 시나리오와 비교하여 유사한 수준의 온실가스 감축과 폐기물 감소효과가 발생했으나 바이오플라스틱산업 생산 확대가 기존의 경제적 손실을 상쇄시켜 GDP를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 바이오플라스틱 생산 확대를 통해 석유 기반 플라스틱을 대체해 나간다면 온실가스 배출 및 플라스틱 폐기물 발생과 같은 환경문제를 개선하면서 경제성장을 가능하게 하는 탈동조화(decoupling)에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.

지구온난화 방지 정책 및 플라스틱 쓰레기에 의한 환경오염 방지의 해결책으로 제시된 플라스틱의 원료 자체를 재생 가능한 원료로부터 생산된 일명 바이오매스 기반 바이오 플라스틱 중 대표적인 polylacticacid (PLA), 유해 화학물질이 포함될 가능성이 적은 장점으로 화장품 용도로 시장전개가 용이할 것으로 예상되는 polyglycolicacid (PGA), 미생물생산 바이오 플라스틱의 대표적인 polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), 가격 대비 우수한 물성의 전분/녹말계열 고분자 등의 동향을 살펴보고자 한다. 특히 포장재 분야, 일회용 위생용품 분야, 폐기물 발생량의 가장 많은 부분을 차지하고 있는 건설 폐기물 분야에 있어서의 환경 친화적인 바이오 플라스틱의 개발 동향을 고찰해보았다.

Recent studies on recyclable materials in the packaging have an increased attention due to the eco-friendly policies of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in worldwide. Roasted coffee beans mostly packed in multi-layered films and papers according to their expiration date. To satisfy both recyclability and barrier properties, researches have been continued on paper-based packaging materials to enhance their properties. In this study, packaging materials for coffee beans are developed by laminating bioplastic films on papers. The tests of packaging materials were performed with mechanical properties, gas and water vaper permeability, recyclability and storage quality for coffee beans. Compared to other samples, the paper/bioplastics-based coffee package composed of starch coated papers and two bioplastics showed the lowest barrier properties, comparable mechanical strength and ability to maintain the quality of roasted coffee beans. Thus, it could be a good alternative for multi-layered packages for roasted coffee beans.

Ever since bioplastics were globally introduced to a wide range of industries, the disposal of used products made with bioplastics has become an issue inseparable from their application. Unlike petroleum-based plastics, bioplastics can be completely decomposed into water and carbon dioxide by microorganisms in a relatively short time, which is an advantage. However, there is little information on the specific degraders and accelerating factors for biodegradation. To elucidate a new strain for biodegrading poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), we screened out one PHB-degrading bacterium, Microbulbifer sp. SOL03, which is the first reported strain from the Microbulbifer genus to show PHB degradation activity, although Microbulbifer species are known to be complex carbohydrate degraders found in high-salt environments. In this study, we evaluated its biodegradability using solid- and liquid-based methods in addition to examining the changes in physical properties throughout the biodegradation process. Furthermore, we established the optimal conditions for biodegradation with respect to temperature, salt concentration, and additional carbon and nitrogen sources; accordingly, a temperature of 37℃ with the addition of 3% NaCl without additional carbon sources, was determined to be optimal. In summary, we found that Microbulbifer sp. SOL03 showed a PHB degradation yield of almost 97% after 10 days. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the potent bioplastic degradation activity of Microbulbifer sp., and we believe that it can contribute to the development of bioplastics from application to disposal.

There is a growing worldwide interest in the potential of marine biomass as an environmentally friendly and economically sustainable resource. Due to the great lack of comprehensive information about domestic seaweed resources, this study aimed to analyze the existing literature on the production and types of domestic seaweed species. Based on this data the possibilities of industrial use of domestic seaweed for the production of biofuels and bioplastics had been assessed. Our review took into account the seaweed species on domestic coasts as well as the species currently in great production via seaweed farming. Due to their wide distribution, their status as farmed crops, and the likelihood of securing their reliable supply, Codium fragile, Hizikia fuciformis, and Gelidium amansii were deemed to be the most appropriate candidates for domestic industrial use. The industrial potential of seaweed biomass was also explored by comparing the predicted amount of biomass necessary to replace current gasoline and plastics use with currently available farming space. The results of our study imply that once a steady and adequate supply of the proper kinds of seaweed can be secured through seaweed farming, there is a great potential for the development of new seaweed-based biofuels and bioplastics industries in Korea.
