basic information
**[Lecture Summary 2]** Among the various bioplastics, polylactic acid (PLA) has the highest potential and is advancing in practical applications, particularly in food uses and other container and packaging materials. This presentation will summarize the current status of technology and market development, as well as the remaining technical challenges. It will also advocate for establishing a decisive competitive advantage by leading rather than following the material innovations expected in the container and packaging materials market in the near future. **[Lecture Summary 3]** For biodegradable plastics and biomass plastics, which are types of bioplastics, the degree of biodegradability and the proportion of biomass raw materials included are important characteristics. However, expressions like "biodegradable in nature" or "made from biomass" can mislead consumers, and properly evaluated indicators should be presented according to established rules. This lecture will introduce evaluation methods based on ISO international standards and JIS Japanese industrial standards. As a method to determine the biomass raw material ratio, the use of accelerator mass spectrometry to measure radioactive carbon-14 concentration will be introduced. Additionally, as an evaluation method for biodegradability, conditions that most promote biodegradation, such as aerobic composting conditions and high-temperature slurry methane fermentation anaerobic biodegradation evaluation methods, will be presented.
