“Brown capacity” in the context of producing biodegradable plastics in existing factory plants based on fossil fuels typically refers to the adaptation or repurposing of conventional petrochemical facilities (which currently produce traditional plastics from fossil-based feedstocks) to manufacture biodegradable or bio-based plastics without completely rebuilding or replacing the infrastructure.
This contrasts with “greenfield” (newly built, dedicated bioplastic plants) and highlights a transitional approach where existing assets are utilized, reducing capital expenditure while enabling a shift towards more sustainable production.
Key aspects of brown capacity in this scenario:
1. Retrofit of existing facilities: Adjustments in production lines to accommodate biodegradable plastic production.
2. Use of fossil fuel-based inputs: While biodegradable plastics can be bio-based, many (such as PBAT) still use petrochemical-derived components.
3. Cost-effectiveness: Leveraging existing assets instead of constructing entirely new bioplastic plants.
4. Scalability: Allows manufacturers to scale biodegradable plastic production more easily within existing supply chains.
