Le présent document spécifie le vocabulaire, les méthodes de caractérisation et les modèles de consignation des données concernant les polymères, plastiques et produits en plastique biosourcés (y compris les produits en plastique semi-finis et les composites).
Le présent document traite en particulier des points suivants : terminologie, teneur biosourcée, teneur en carbone biosourcé, analyse du cycle de vie, critères de durabilité et outils de déclaration.
Les polymères et plastiques biocompatibles pour les applications médicales couverts par des dispositions spécifiques sont hors du domaine d’application du présent document.
Polimerni materiali - Polimeri na biološki osnovi, polimerni materiali in izdelki iz polimernih materialov - Terminologija, lastnosti in komunikacija
Ta evropski standard določa besedišče, metode za opis lastnosti in predloge za poročanje o polimerih na biološki osnovi, polimernih materialih ter izdelkih iz polimernih materialov (vključno s polizdelki iz polimernih materialov in kompoziti).
Ta evropski standard zajema zlasti naslednje: terminologijo, vsebino na biološki osnovi, vsebnost ogljika na biološki osnovi, oceno življenjskega cikla, trajnostne vidike in deklaracijska orodja.
Biozdružljivi polimeri in polimerni materiali za medicinsko uporabo, ki jih zajemajo posebne določbe, ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega evropskega standarda.

In the market today there are different fossil based plastics which are biodegradable according to the relevant standards and there are also plastics which are made from biomass and are highly resistant to biodegradation. One historically relevant example is polycaprolactone (PCL) which is industrially prepared starting from cyclohexanoneá a typical petrochemicalä The biodegradability of PCL in several environments has been well known since the
s { y rsä On the other handá there are different bio-based materials in the market which are not biodegradable according to the relevant standardsä For exampleã recalcitrant to biodegradation. This is cause of concern as it can be the source of misleading information and confusion across the supply chain and especially for the final consumersä Thereforeá when referring to the origin of the feedstock it is essential to use the correct and precise terminology: bio-based polymer/plastics/plastics product instead of biopolymer/bioplastics/bioplastics product. Polymers derived from biomass have to be distinguished into two groups. The first group included polymersá whicmicroorganisms) and have been extracted and purified.
