(European Bioplastics) The area required to grow sufficient feedstock to produce a certain product (food, feed, or industrial products such as bioplastics). Today’s bioplastic production requires less than 0.01 percent of the global agricultural area of billions of hectares. In contrast to this, the current land use for food and feed production as well as for use as pastures amounts to about 97 percent.
