An effective way to address "white pollution" is to use biodegradable plastics, which are encouraged in developed countries and regions such as the European Union. It is reported that AirCarbon brand plastic provided by Newlight Company is a new type of bioplastic made from bamboo and wheat straw through special processes. This type of plastic has low carbon emissions during production and does not cause environmental pollution.

Dell, headquartered in Texas, USA, announced at a press conference on May 20th that the company will fully adopt green and environmentally friendly plastics for product packaging in the coming years. Meanwhile, some computer components will also gradually switch to recycled plastics.

As early as 2013, Dell expressed its intention to use renewable materials for computer packaging and made a commitment to its vast global customers to strive to achieve the goal of zero packaging waste by 2020. Dell stated that it has reached a cooperation intention with Newlight Technologies in the United States and will start using AirCarbon brand plastic provided by Newlight this autumn as the latest packaging material for Dell Latitude notebooks.

In addition, Dell has partnered with Wistron GreenTech to use recycled plastics from the company's discarded electronic products for the production of computer components. In June this year, Dell's OptiPlex 3030 All-in-One desktop computer will undergo its global debut. This series of computers will be the first application of recycled discarded plastics in computer components.

Although the bio-based plastics industry is still in its early stages of development, it has seen rapid growth in recent years, initially establishing its indispensable position in the commercial market. New applications in the automotive and electronics industries will drive the demand for bioplastics. It is expected that by 2025, Asia will be the leader in the bioplastics market, accounting for approximately 32% of the market share, followed by Europe with 31% and the United States with 28%.

As consumers' preference for plastic products gradually shifts, renewable and environmentally friendly materials are gaining increasing popularity in the market. Affected by this trend, the demand for biobased plastics is intensifying. Furthermore, continuous innovation in product design by plastic processors and composite material producers has further expanded the application areas of biobased plastics.
