Introduction
CEN/TR 15932 [1] gives recommendations for the terminology and the characterisation of biopolymers and
bioplastics.
Biopolymers and bioplastics can be either bio-based (based on biomass) or biodegradable in industrial
composting plants, or both. Furthermore, in the biomedical sector the terms biopolymer and bioplastic mainly
refer to the biological compatibility with living tissues. As a consequence, the terms "biopolymer" and
"bioplastic" can identify products with very different characteristics.
The different characteristics which relate to the “bio-“prefix can thus be a potential source of confusion as
recognised by CEN/TR 15392. As the result of chemical modifications or the combination with non-
biodegradable parts, the biodegradable nature of the original biological raw material can be lost in the final
biopolymer rendering it non-biodegradable. This is a potential problem especially for disposable products as
the end-user may mistake bio-based for biodegradable products and vice-versa.
The terms biopolymer and bioplastic are not exhaustive and more detailed information needs to be declared in
order to better specify the real nature and properties of each biopolymer or bioplastic.

biomass
material of biological origin excluding material embedded in geological formation or fossilised
[SOURCE: CEN/TR 15932:2010]
3.3
biomass content
mass fraction of bio-based material in a sample
Note 1 to entry: Claims of biomass content are difficult to verify due to lack of standards.

plastic in which constitutional units are totally or in part from biomass origin
3.5
bio-based polymer
polymer in which constitutional units are totally or in part from biomass origin
