According to a report, the Korean companies are working to invest upon the bioplastics production since 1993 and also those companies are successful in relevant research and development programs. Still something is missing till now for the right balance. A general concern in this direction is that regulations of the Korean Government are not favorable for the bioplastics industry. Despite of proper investment in green industries and green growth by the former president, Lee Myung Bak, the bioplastics industry in the country is not being benefitted as per expectation.
