China hat ein Plastikproblem. Überall liegt Müll herum, eine moderne Abfall- und Recyclingwirtschaft ist erst im Aufbau. Mit Bioplastik will Peking gegensteuern. Geplant sind gewaltige Produktionskapazitäten. Dabei ist der Nutzen von Biokunststoffen ohne industrielle Kompostierung begrenzt – und da fehlt es an Anlagen.

China has a plastic problem. Trash is everywhere, and a modern waste and recycling management system are only just in the works. Beijing wants to counteract this issue with bioplastics. Huge production capacities are planned. However, the benefits of bioplastics without industrial composting are limited, and there is the added problem of a lack of facilities.

China's electric market is growing and growing and growing. Nevertheless, not all electric start-ups make the cut. Some are lost on the way. Reasons are too high costs, management problems or excessive ambitions. Only those who get a grip on all these issues have a chance on the merciless predatory market. In the meantime, the stories of the once highly acclaimed bankrupt companies are sounding more and more like soap operas.
